With the awareness of environmental hazards and the need for sustainable eco-friendly practices, the relevance of our age-old techniques of handloom and heritage textiles has never been more pressingly relevant. Mix-n-match your western wear with Indian prints like air up an undyed cotton kurta with a flared yellow midi skirt, suggest experts. Manjula Tiwari, founder of Ancestry, and Siddhant Gupta, founder at Chique have listed few looks:

* First, know your body type. Any selection of clothing and accessories must begin with knowing what suits your particular body type.

* Tradition with a twist: Rev up your cotton kurtas by giving it a fusion twist. Pair up an undyed cotton kurta with a flared yellow midi skirt, throw on a pair of sneakers or high-tops, pull up a backpack. Finish the look with some chunky metallic bangles.

Some of the popular prints in fusion wear include European botanical illustrations, chintz prints, to Indian geometric ikat or temple border motifs.

* A boho maxi dress made in a zari bootie Chanderi handloom, or a combination of the global athleisure trend with a Bengal handloom talent mulmul, or the sophisticated subtle elegance of a cape sleeve trench and tailored trousers in a gold zari Benarasi brocade are some of the outfits you could try out.

* Muted natural earthy tones and saturated bright hues of red, rani pink, green, and indigo would make for a good color palette.

* It’s important to strike the right balance between the East and the West. Try a boho jumpsuit with nicely coordinated ethnic accessories. Play up with your shoes for more detail. Throw on your white sneakers or a pair of silver metallic Kohlapuris.

* Pairing a designer Gujarati cold shouldered crop top with a plain bold colored dhoti looks elegant and classy. Carry it with a stylish pair of jhumkas and matte lipstick which will absolutely complete your look.

* Indian prints and fabric are more glamorous than they are perceived to be. An Indian indigo print top paired with white distressed jeans, a metallic choker, and sneakers would be a good example.

* Instead of shimmery and glitters, wear muted color prints either on a bold color base or just some added embellishment on the floral. Layered organza tops in print outer layer and sequin under layers is the stress-free combination, whether you are wearing a high waist trouser, a full volume skirt or a typical lehenga, or maybe even a sari.
