The green question

You are the multi-tasker – you know how to be a superstar at work and you know how to be the super mom at home. You are your kitchen’s master chef and you know how to look good too. But you may not always get the time to ‘search’ for the right outfit for yourself. Is the thought of dressing right this independence day worrying you a little? Did you see some azaadi kurtas while scrolling down your Instagram but don’t really know who’s stocking what? We are here to sort out your wardrobe woes!

Here’s an August 14th style guide on where to find the right Independence Day outfit for you. And guess what! Our guide comes with a price comparison too!

Nishat Linen

We adore this short jacket from Nishat Linen’s Pret Azaadi Collection. This one’s our pick from the 7 Pakistan themed kurta options they’ve got. It’s trendy, it is different from the regular kurta options and does not have to be limited to be worn on August 14th only. It’s perfect for a coffee date with a friend. Pair it with a black inner and cropped culottes to look smokin’ hot!
