Accessories like jhumkas and mojaris complete the ensemble perfectly.

For casual days, I love pairing bright sweatshirts with joggers or cargo pants and finishing the look with chunky sneakers. When the temperature drops, I throw on a puffer jacket or a statement trench it instantly makes any outfit pop. I am also obsessed with accessorizing beanies, hoops, and tinted sunnies are total winter essentials for me. My current go-to is an oversized beige sweater.” LAYER UP Sonal Panwar SEERAT KAPOOR & GEETANJALI MISHRA Sonal Panwar, who plays Malaika in Happu Ki Ultan Paltan, says, “The winter gives me the perfect excuse to layer without overthinking.
