Five ways to rock desi fusion fashion to perfection

If you’re looking for ways to elevate your everyday look and add a touch of uniqueness to it, a tad bit of desi fusion may be all you need to make a style statement. Whether it’s the tried and tested combo of baggy, colourful shalwars and basic t-shirts, the addition of a koti on top of your everyday jeans and T-shirt outfit, or simply wearing chooriyaan and black metal jewellery with a dress, there are a million and one ways to incorporate a desi touch to western outfits or vice versa.

Here are our picks of top five celebrity divas rocking the desi fusion look to perfection.

Areeba Habib

If you don’t have time to mull over which items of clothing you want to mix and match for your next fusion outfit, just throw on a denim jacket over any matching separates. Areeba looks as chic as ever in a black shalwar kameez combo, paired with a faded denim jacket and a pair of shiny loafers to really bring the whole look together. Wear a bag and some hoop earrings like the model’s and you have the perfect outfit for a lunch with friends, a day at university or simply an afternoon of running errands!

Zara Peerzada
Take a page from Zara’s book and when in doubt, add a paraanda! We love how the model has fused East and West in this fun and flirty outfit, adding a touch of edginess with the combat boots. The neon orange paraanda goes fabulously well with the patterned blue and white skirt. If you aren’t feeling as daring as Zara, switch the tube top for a black tee and you have an effortlessly cool outfit ready.
