Have you heard? Passas are the new red for weddings!

If you think you can dare to carry off the retro look, we’re here to show you our favourite passas- guaranteed to make you swoon!
1. Polki Passa
Remember Kareena Kapoor’s look from Agent Vinod? Yep, we’re talking about that shocking pink sharara and the gorgeous polki passa that accompanied it! While the passa does, arguably, go best with shararas, you can go a step further and incorporate it into your lehenga or even saree based outfit. A passa with polki work goes best with a slightly simple outfit, so opt for a polki one when you want to really stand out!
