While some like to jazz it up, one must keep in mind that red is a bright colour and sometimes the colour can get overpowering or eye catching. To keep it subtle yet chic, style your Karwa Chauth outfit like Dia Mirza. Dia’s elegant silk kurta is paired with brocade flared pants. You can also keep your hairstyle simple with side twisties and leave your tresses flowing. Simplicity at its best.
