4. Power Sleeve
Payal & Zinal's Orange Georgette Sequin Bodycon Dress
What better way to celebrate the 80s revival than with this power sleeve body con dress. Payal & Zinal are our much-needed advocates for maximalism, which is clearly reflected in their creations. With high puff sleeves, this dress gives the illusion of a padded shoulder. A high fashion alternative to the classic floral dress; versatile dresses are the way to go in 2022.
5. Ruffles Galore
Gauri & Nainika's Red Organza Frill Neck Backless Dress
The dress that sings ‘This Is La Vie En Rose,’ this printed red and white organza dress is ever so romantic. A classic Gauri & Nainika dress with signature ruffles and floral print is the perfect day to night look. If styling for a night out on the town, bring out the deeper tones in the dress. You cannot go wrong with wine-stained lips and some burgundy ribbon tie up heels. Brunch and drinks? Keep it understated and elegant with some pearl jewelry.
