For her: sharara and Indo-Western

A sharara set is easy to dance in all night. For Indo-Western, try a short kurti with palazzo pants, or a saree with a belt and a crop blouse.

For him

• A silk kurta with jeans or chinos – smart but relaxed.
• A cream or black mul cotton kurta pajama ($80) for a cooler look on a hot night.

Party tips

• Metallics, jewel tones and black all photograph well at night.
• Choose georgette, organza or cotton – heavy silk is hot in December.
• Bring flat juttis for the dance floor.
