India, Oct. 22 -- When I needed outfits for two different dance workshops at short notice, I wanted bottoms that would let me move comfortably without spending too much. I also wanted something I could wear again, rather than buying clothes for a single occasion. I ended up buying two black flared styles: the JYESHTA Women's Crepe Long Skirt and the Super Soft Flared Solid Rayon Sharara.

Both purchases turned out to be practical additions to my wardrobe. They were comfortable to dance in, easy to move around in and simple to pair with different tops. Black also made styling easier because I did not have to worry about finding an exact colour match.

With the festive season in full swing, flared skirts and sharara-style palazzos are worth...
