So treatment focuses instead on getting comfortable with a constant lack of certainty, typically through a therapeutic practice called exposure and response prevention (ERP). It involves exposing yourself to a particular obsession while also resisting the urge to engage in the related compulsion, says Amanda Petrik-Gardner, LCPC, a Kansas-based licensed therapist who offers virtual therapy in multiple states for anxiety disorders and OCD. “So if you worry that not saying ‘I love you’ to your spouse will cause you to get into a car accident, we’ll practise having you drive without having said it,” she says.

You’ll initially feel much more anxious than if you were to just do the compulsion—in Bailey’s words, as if you’re taking “the biggest risk in the world.” One of the obsessions she’s worked with her therapist to challenge is that she’ll feed her dog using the “wrong” bowl and cause him to get sick or die (though nothing suggests an issue with the container). Rather than repeatedly swapping vessels, ERP requires her to just feed her dog anyway. Though the fear that something might happen to him still percolates in her brain, it isn’t as “hot” anymore, she says, after going through with feeding him many times.

Bullen has often done ERP with folks who believe that if they put an object down in the “wrong” way, something horrible will occur. The exposure involves having them plop it down in whatever way they deem incorrect and resist any urge to go back and move it. While they’re facing the uncertainty of the moment, Bullen is careful not to reassure them that everything will be okay—because it won’t serve them. Although she might be able to tell them with 99% certainty that something bad won’t happen as a result of how they move an object, their brain will still say, “But what if I’m that 1% chance?” she says. Instead, she uses “maybe, maybe not” statements to normalise doubt: “Maybe you move that pen and it has an impact, and maybe it doesn’t, but let’s learn to sit in that unknown,” she says.

Over time, ERP can help you acclimate to what’s often a deeply distressing reality for folks with OCD: Something tragic, terrific, or terrifying could unfold at any given moment, and no number of compulsions can ensure a positive outcome, however magical they may seem. “What happens is something called habituation,” Bullen says, which is kinda like what unfolds when you jump into a cold body of water. “Your body is shocked and telling you to get out, but if you stay in for long enough, you’ll habituate. The environment doesn’t change, the situation doesn’t change; your body and mind just adjust to it,” she explains.

Spiritual practices and beliefs can be a slippery slope for folks with magical thinking OCD

The tricky thing about the obsessions in magical thinking OCD is that they can sound like plenty of culturally accepted superstitions and spiritual practices. Consider ye old wood-knocking, or something like carrying a certain crystal, pulling a tarot card, or saying a prayer—all of them similarly purport to have an impact on your future that’s unexplained by logic or science. The difference is in how much significance and truth you assign to these practices. Plenty of people might see them as tools to support them on occasion, taking them with a grain of salt. But for folks with OCD, any of the above can become compulsions, meaning they feel totally mandatory and invoke distress and anxiety, Petrik-Gardner says.

As the summer heat in India intensifies (because, you know, global warming), surviving the sun starts to feel like an Olympic sport. The air is thick, sweat is relentless, and the idea of looking human, let alone decent, starts to feel like a mirage in the desert. But here’s the thing: your wardrobe doesn’t have to be the enemy. It can be your best ally (aside from your antiperspirant, of course).

Think fabrics that let you breathe—soft cottons, airy linens, silks that flow, not cling. Here are 35 homegrown brands offering a collection of linen and cotton dresses that won’t have you fantasising about a cold shower the moment you step outside. From linen button-ups to cotton co-ord kurta sets, organic cotton Ajrakh printed tees, or just an easy, breezy white dress—we’ve got you covered. After all, no one should have to choose between looking good and surviving the heat.

Between film promotions, Khushi Kapoor’s style has been adapted to her on-screen characters. Earlier this year, Khushi Kapoor opted for an array of candy-hued outfits, paying a subtle reference to method dressing for her film Loveyapa. For her movie Nadaaniyan, Kapoor delivered a string of preppy-chic fits that ranged from mini skirts to the timeless pairing of jeans and stilettos. Kapoor’s latest outing, however, brings her affinity for flattering and overtly feminine dresses to the fore. Styled by Ami Patel, the outing featured a gilded chainmail gown from Dame Vivienne Westwood’s 2022 bridal couture collection.

Entitled ‘Aphrodite’, the draped creation draws inspiration from ancient Greek statues, given its fluid yet structured quality. Corsetry with subtle boning covered with a cowl-like neck, off-shoulder sleeves, and thigh-high slits gave the conventionally skimpy chainmail material a more refined edit.

While Gianni Versace’s pioneering use of chainmail (Oroton) embodied provocation—crafting dresses that both flatter and express—Vivienne Westwood, who designed her own wedding dress in 1962, approached the material with a more modest and subdued sensibility. Unlike all other pieces in the Bridal collection that succumb to the world of whites, Aphrodite stands out both in terms of its hue and feel.

For accessories, she went with a mini Lady Dior and pieces from Cartier’s signature Trinity collection featuring their newest wildlife-inspired designs. This metallic mesh rendition of evening wear is a Kapoor sister favourite. Back in September last year, Janhvi Kapoor opted for a gilded mesh gown from Gaurav Gupta paired with a Bvlgari high jewellery neckpiece, too.

I’ve never travelled abroad without my trusty stash of vacuum-packed theplas. Anyone with young kids will concur. Marrying into a Gujarati family introduced me to an entirely new carb universe— khakhras, puris, and the ilk. I have zero reservations about pulling out these delights in a European café (or flight), even as other patrons delicately nibble on their salads and sip their skinny lattes. We’re Indian and we love our carbs—whether lentils, flour or rice. And maybe that’s precisely why bloating is such a common complaint.

You are what you eat

The Ayurvedic perspective suggests that since lentils and pulses are rich in fibre, they’re harder for the intestines to digest. “They also contain FODMAPs (fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols)—essentially carbohydrates that are hard to absorb, in lay terms—which can produce bacteria in the gut, leading to bloating and cramping,” says Dr Deepthy S.G., HOD, Niraamaya Wellness Retreats.

Ayurveda views things through a holistic lens and bloating can’t be pinned to any one single reason. For instance, remember, our grandmothers dissuading us from eating too fast? Or not having curd at night? Turns out, that age-old wisdom might hold truth. “Poor digestion, gut bacteria imbalances, food intolerances, sensitive stomach and certain eating habits like eating in a hurry or not chewing properly can cause bloating and gas,” confirms Dr Reji Raj, senior Ayurveda physician, Amal Tamara.

Stress and the gut

A healthy gut is the cornerstone of overall health, but stress can quickly tip that balance. You’ve likely felt stress manifest in your stomach before, and according to Dr Deepthy, here’s what happens: Stress impacts digestion by tightening abdominal muscles, suppressing the immune system (particularly in the gastrointestinal tract) and causing an imbalance between good and bad bacteria. It also increases stomach acid production and leads to the consumption of more carbohydrate-rich foods—all leading to bloating.

The kitchen to the rescue

Like anyone else who grew up in an Indian household, I’ve always looked to the kitchen for simple remedies—and bloating is no exception. A glass of warm water infused with cumin, carom and fennel seeds is sometimes all that you need after an extra serving of rice. Nutritionist Karishmma Chawla also recommends cinnamon as it has the highest antioxidant value as compared to any other spice. “Cinnamon reduces inflammation and lowers blood sugar and blood triglyceride levels. It also alleviates nausea and assists with digestion.” She further lists prebiotics (found in artichokes, garlic, leeks, amaranth, bananas and eggplant) and polyphenols (found in green tea and apples) to support probiotic growth and promote overall gut health.

In Ayurveda, ghee is often regarded as a “golden elixir,” as it supports digestive health and reduces bloating. Dr Raj recommends consuming ghee in moderation to promote gut healing and enhance digestion. He also warns against fried foods as they absorb oil and cause gut inflammation, slow digestion and add to your gas and bloating woes.

Foods to skip

Seemingly, the trick to beating bloating is less about what to add and more about what to skip. Over the years, I’ve learnt exactly what my triggers are and lest I forget, my body is quick to remind me. While there’s no one-size-fits-all approach, certain types of foods are best avoided, say the experts. “Gluten, dairy, and processed foods can trigger sensitivities, while frequent antibiotics and raw salads can disrupt gut balance,” Chawla says.

In ‘(untitled) Gram Yatra’, the role of the rural worker takes centre stage, capturing a society in transition. The presence of agrarian figures, particularly a farmer depicted as a literal foundation for the land, speaks to the deep interdependence between people and place. “One of my favorite vignettes is the standing farmer,” Avari noted. “The farmer is the core element of Indian society, and here he is shown holding up the land—physically and metaphorically.” Women are also integral to Husain’s composition, depicted in roles of labour and caregiving that reflect themes of resilience and sustenance.

Ahead of the auction in New York, ‘(untitled) Gram Yatra’ made a brief return to India, where it was displayed in Delhi for a pre-sale exhibition. The event marked a rare opportunity for audiences to engage with Husain’s vision in person, drawing widespread interest from scholars, collectors and the public alike. “Every time you look at this painting, you find a new story or new meaning in one of the vignettes,” Avari observed. “It’s a fantastic work, and it deserves to be in an institutional collection where more people can see it and gain a better understanding of the artist through it.”

MAQBOOL FIDA HUSAIN (1913-2011). ‘Untitled (Gram Yatra)’, painted in 1954

With its record-breaking sale, ‘(untitled) Gram Yatra’ reaffirms the growing global appreciation for South Asian art. And for those who enjoy trivia, this isn’t the first time an M. F. Husain painting has broken records at this Christie’s sale. In early 2008, his ‘Battle of Ganga and Jamuna: Mahabharata 12’, a large diptych from the Hindu epic, fetched $1.6 million, setting a world record at the very same South Asian Modern and Contemporary Art sale. As collectors and institutions increasingly look to India’s modernists as key figures in the broader history of 20th-century art, Husain’s ‘(untitled) Gram Yatra’ stands as both a rediscovered treasure and a reminder of the movement’s lasting influence.

It doesn’t matter where you are; weddings are a major event, and the clothing you select to wear to these events is just as important. Consequently, inside the large ocean of sarees and lehengas, how can a younger woman stand out from the crowd?

When it comes to purchasing a sharara that not only rocks the trends but also helps you rock the party, we have compiled a list of 2025 trends that you should keep an eye out for in this blog post.

You are mistaken if you believe that the colors used in the designs of Sharara suits for weddings are dark. Despite their light-weight nature, chiffon white shararas are getting so much popularity in preferences for daylight wedding ceremony activities. This is due to the fact they may be light and airy, making them easy to wear. The modern edge fashion aims for a minimalist look, regardless of the reality that heavy work suits are fashionable. Their freshness, modernity, and simplicity make them ideal for creating a joyful atmosphere.

Designs for sharara suits that have been made of velvet fabric have the ability to elevate any outfit to a more royal level. With its combination of opulence and refinement, shararas made of velvet fabric are ideal for pre-wedding ceremonies, whether they are worn by a bride or by weddings that are looking to differentiate themselves from others. When it involves velvet, deep burgundy is an undying color, and gold trimming is the icing at the cake, bringing a touch of glitz to a traditional dress.

In the event that there is a sharara suit for weddings that has the potential to make you the “it girl,” then it is imperative that you wear a halterneck sharara. There is no doubt that costumes that are vibrant, charming, and contemporary are going to continue to be fashionable well beyond the year 2025. This is because of the innovative design that features a refreshing take on the outfit. With the addition of the pastel color combination, this look is ideal for informal ceremonies that take place during the day.

Due to the high level of expertise that goes into making such garments, sharara suit designs that feature hand-painted artwork are an investment that will last a lifetime. In addition to that, handpainted shararas in diverse sunglasses of the inexperienced are a unique technique to style that is normally focused on flashy items. Daytime festivities, haldi, and mehendi ceremonies, and receptions are the best times for brides to wear garments with hand-painted flower motifs. This is the greatest time to wear these ensembles.

There is usually a bandhani handicraft feature gift inside the designs of modern-day Sharara suits. The tie-dye approach called bandhani, which originates from positive areas of Gujarat and Rajasthan, is characterised with the aid of using difficult and colourful patterns. It is crucial for each woman`s cloth cabinet to consist of gadgets which might be encouraged with the aid of using exclusive cultures, along with these. The sharara now holds the 5th rank at the listing of the maximum elegant apparel considering the fact that it’s far appropriate for each daytime and nighttime occasion.

Some wedding sharara suit styles should be popular because they are simple to put together. The leheriya scarf is the most important part of these outfits, even though the small details make them look royal. Besides the gold lace work, the puffy sleeves give the outfit a vintage look and a funky feel that you don’t often see in sharara clothes. A must-have before the wedding!

Some styles of Sharara suits can make you feel elegant, modern, and smart all at the same time. Wedding photographers love it because women can wear it to pre-wedding shoots, and anyone can wear it to a fancy lunch. The ruffled palazzo pants make the traditional Sharara outfit more stylish, and the sheer dupatta with stitching makes the whole outfit look chic.

Sobhita Dhulipala and Naga Chaitanya Akkineni have kept their relationship mostly under wraps—until now. In their first on-camera appearance together, the couple gives their fans an unfiltered glimpse into their goofy equation by taking Vogue India’s ‘Tell The Truth’ relationship quiz.

Between lighthearted ribbing and candid confessions, they let slip the sweet moments that define their dynamic. There’s the nightly hot chocolate ritual (made by Akkineni), Dhulipala’s signature party exit strategy (or lack thereof), and how she turns into a complete baby when she’s sick. While they may not agree on everything, there’s an ease to their back-and-forth that suggests they know exactly how to get under each other’s skin—not that they put that knowledge to the test.

But when they do end up getting under each other’s skin, Akkineni reveals he’s more likely to say sorry first, a statement Dhulipala is quick to challenge. The few differences they have show up in the small moments—she doesn’t drive (“I just drive him crazy,” she laughs); he loves movies, she’s watched perhaps a total of ten in her life; he feels bad about making an Irish exit from a party, she ghosts them before even arriving. They are, in many ways, opposites, but it’s plain to see that it is these contrasts in their personalities that endear them to each other.

When Alaya F isn’t being the quintessential girl next door, making smoothie bowls and practising unimaginable headstands, she’s often spotted wearing Indian wear meant for the no-fuss dresser. The young actor was recently spotted in a block-print draped skirt from an unreleased Monisha Jaising collection, styled with a bustier-style blouse featuring off-shoulder sleeves.

In a stark black hue with all-white embroidery, the blouse was adorned with delicate beading and pearl tassels. In contrast to the heavy-duty bustier, the skirt came as a breezy respite, mimicking half of a sari pallu laden with block print motifs.

Bordered with gotta-patti work, the sari-inspired skirt and bustier combination keep Jaising’s easygoing and resort-inspired take on ethnic silhouettes in mind. It also resonates with Alaya’s consistent penchant for silhouettes heavy on craftsmanship without shrouding her youthful and lighthearted demeanour.

In another one of her recent outings, stylist Sheefa J Gilani styled Alaya in a pastel and beige lehenga from Tarun Tahiliani with intricate yet subdued floral ornamentation.

From Vogue‘s fashion desk:

“Swap the heavily embellished blouse for a crisp white shirt: a sharp, structured tailoring to offset the opulence. Buttoned high or left slightly undone, it adds a modern, androgynous edge to the look. For accessories, trade the statement bag for a sleek, mini top handle in glossy patent, something clean and graphic to contrast the intricate embroidery. Opt for a slicked-back high ponytail, letting the embroidery take centre stage,” says Vogue India’s Fashion Associate, Manglien Gangte.

When it comes to Indian Dresses, Indian Clothes, and Indian Outfits, the diversity in style is unparalleled. Indian fashion is rich with history, culture, and timeless trends, making it a versatile choice for any season. However, when you live in a country with varying climates or are preparing for a destination that experiences extreme temperatures, understanding how to style your Indian mens clothing for hot and cold weather can be a game-changer.

At Nihal Fashions, we believe that dressing for the season while maintaining style and comfort is the key to looking great, no matter the weather. Whether you’re stepping out for a summer wedding or preparing for a cozy winter celebration, we’ve got you covered with the ultimate styling tips for Indian Dresses and Indian Outfits across different seasons.

Styling Indian Dresses for Hot Weather

India’s tropical climate can sometimes feel overwhelming, especially during the sweltering summer months. When dressing in Indian Clothes for hot weather, the focus is on breathable fabrics, light colors, and styles that allow you to stay cool and stylish. Let’s dive into the essentials:

1. Opt for Breathable Fabrics

The first thing you need to focus on when dressing for hot weather is fabric. Light, airy fabrics like cotton, linen, khadi, and silk are perfect for staying cool during summer. These materials allow air circulation, absorb sweat, and keep you comfortable throughout the day. Avoid heavy brocade or velvet, which are suited for cooler temperatures, and instead go for materials that breathe.

• Cotton kurtas for men are a classic choice. The soft fabric keeps you cool while looking effortlessly stylish.
• Linen kurtas are another fantastic choice for hot weather, known for their moisture-wicking properties and chic, casual vibe.
• Khadi kurtas offer a traditional yet breathable option perfect for summer. They not only keep you comfortable but also add a layer of texture and authenticity to your Indian Outfits.

2. Light and Bright Colors

Hot weather calls for light-colored Indian Dresses that reflect sunlight and keep you cool. Colors like pastels, whites, creams, and soft blues or greens are perfect for the summer months. These colors not only help you stay comfortable but also have a refreshing look that is easy on the eyes.

For instance, a white cotton kurta paired with a pair of beige trousers or churidars will keep you looking sharp while ensuring you’re comfortable. Avoid wearing dark colors like black, deep blues, and maroons, as they tend to absorb more heat.

3. Lightweight Indian Outfits for Men

When it comes to Indian mens clothing during summer, think about choosing styles that have a light, loose fit. Kurtas with minimal embellishment or prints are perfect for casual days, while a short-sleeve or three-quarter-sleeve kurta pajama is ideal for a laid-back yet polished look.

For a more contemporary style, you can pair a linen kurta with denim shorts or lightweight chinos, creating a fusion of traditional and modern fashion. You can also choose an Indo-western kurta for a more stylish and comfortable summer evening outfit.

4. Stay Comfortable with Appropriate Footwear

When styling Indian Dresses for men in the summer, comfortable footwear is a must. Avoid heavy shoes or boots, and instead, opt for moccasins, loafers, or traditional juttis made from light fabrics like cotton or jute. For a completely casual look, flip-flops or sandals can work, especially if you’re heading to a beach or informal gathering.

5. Accessorizing for Hot Weather

In hot weather, accessories should be minimal but effective. A stylish straw hat, sunglasses, or a leather belt can add a fun, modern touch to your Indian outfit. For daytime events, keep accessories light, such as simple watches or bracelets made from natural materials like wood or leather.

Styling Indian Dresses for Cold Weather

When the temperature drops, it’s time to layer up, but this doesn’t mean you have to compromise on style. Indian mens clothing in winter can be chic, cozy, and fashion-forward. Here are some tips on how to style your Indian Outfits for colder climates:

1. Opt for Heavier Fabrics

For cold weather, switch to heavier fabrics that provide warmth while maintaining a stylish appearance. Materials like wool, pashmina, silk blends, and heavy brocades are excellent choices for the winter months.

• Woolen kurtas are a great option for keeping warm while also looking sharp. You can pair them with woolen shawls or scarves for an added layer of warmth.
• Brocade kurtas with intricate designs not only look luxurious but also provide a substantial weight, perfect for winter festivities and weddings.
• For Indo-Western looks, blended jackets or sherwanis lined with woolen fabric can keep you warm while adding a contemporary edge to your outfit.

2. Layer Up with Jackets and Coats

Layering is key in colder months, and there are plenty of options in Indian Clothes that allow you to layer up stylishly. Nehru jackets, bandhgalas, and blazers can instantly elevate your winter look, adding sophistication and style to your traditional attire.

• A Nehru jacket worn over a kurta pajama not only adds warmth but also creates a sleek and dapper look.
• For a more regal appearance, a bandhgala jacket, which is a traditional closed-neck coat, pairs perfectly with a kurta and churidars.
• You can also layer a long coat or cape over your kurta to stay warm in the winter chill.

3. Darker, Richer Colors

Winter is the season to wear deep, rich colors like burgundy, navy blue, emerald green, and charcoal grey. These tones not only look elegant but also suit the cozy, festive nature of colder months. Opt for dark-colored kurtas and Indian Outfits made of luxurious fabrics like velvet or silk.

• A navy velvet kurta paired with black trousers or churidars is an excellent choice for a formal evening look in winter.
• For weddings or evening gatherings, deep red brocade kurtas can make a striking appearance, while also offering warmth.

4. Footwear for Winter

When the weather gets cold, the right footwear is crucial to completing your look. Traditional mojris or juttis can be swapped with heavier, leather boots or formal shoes for a sleek, winter-appropriate look. Choose footwear that offers both style and comfort to keep your feet warm and dry.

• Leather sandals with traditional embellishments work great for formal winter occasions.
• Suede juttis can add a touch of luxury to your winter wedding attire.

5. Add Accessories for Warmth and Style

Winter accessories are not only stylish but also functional. Consider incorporating woolen scarves, shawls, and stoles into your Indian Outfits. A rich, embroidered woolen shawl can make all the difference in elevating your ensemble while keeping you warm.

• You can also pair your winter kurta with a stylish turban or hat for an added touch of elegance and warmth.
• Leather gloves and cashmere scarves are luxurious yet practical additions that can keep you cozy.

Conclusion: Embrace Indian Fashion in Every Season

As a new zodiac year begins with Aries season (March 20-April 19), the air fills with the fragrance of optimism and possibility. Moving beyond the dreamy landscape of Pisces season into the fiery realm of Aries season in addition to the ongoing Mercury and Venus retrograde, the restless ram’s patience will be put to the test. Focus on a steadfast approach to life, finances and relationships during this time. The luckiest zodiac signs this season will emerge from the fire with new vigour for crafting a grander life.

Aries

Eyes focused on the prize, you thrive in your birth season as it gives you just the wind you need beneath your wings. Your challenge may be that you may have too many things you want to do all at once, and the only way to get out of this dilemma is to find creative sparks of joy each day. Suddenly, you will find it all snowballing it into a gigantic tidal wave of momentum and movement.

Leo

Lasting change is here if you are willing to overlook the minor bumps and focus on the road ahead. A sunshine life is not just about what you make of it, but also about how well you meet yourself. This season will take you to the depths of your soul and bring you face-to-face with your peeves while also helping you realise what truly makes you happy.

Pisces

As you leave your dream world to pursue tangible life goals, you are in for a surprise—you now get to sit in the hot seat and select what you wish to draw into your space. If ‘too many ideas, too little bandwidth’ is your theme, consider picking only those battles that mean something to you in the long run. Nothing is worth expending your precious energy over if it does not leave an indelible impact on your life.

Scorpio

A lot is happening in the cosmos and a lot more is happening in your life. Staying focused on your visions and choosing to let things unfold at their own pace might be the best move, but guess what takes you to the pro level? Walking away from the BS that you have been dodging for years. Yes, it may take some planning from your end but the sun will rise soon enough on your dewy, starstruck eyes, opening up new vistas for you.

Cancer

While there is a lot more on your plate than you would like there to be, you simply cannot seem to complain. You are living through what you hoped for a long time ago—your money woes are a thing of the past, your relationship receives a spruce up and you realise that there is more than one way to achieve your goals. Looking on the brighter side will help you evade burnout and conflict.

Libra

A new emotional wave begins with this new year and you are ready for it. Cutting ends loose, recalibrating your goals and looking at the long-term may feel like a lot to do, but you’ve got this. Watch out for new people, opportunities or even old people revamped and rejuvenated entering your life to take you on expeditions that appease your soul, but always remember to keep your BS radar on.
