7. Cape Style Blazer With A Solid Saree

Got a cape style blazer laying in your winter wardrobe? It is time to take it out for your last-minute rakshabandhan special fusion look! Team up your blazer with a solid saree and a satlada or a rani haar, just like fashion influencer Komal Pandey in the picture above!

You can also reuse your old denim jacket with a saree and take your saree game to the next level.

8. Kurti As A Dress 

Fed up of pairing your kurtis in the usual ways – with boring leggings or churidars? How about wearing one as a dress for this rakshabandhan! If you have picked a plain cotton kurti for this kind of rakshabandhan look, then go with a dramatic makeup look and heavy accessories to balance it out.
