Presenting the best designs from Pune Fashion Week 2016 that look apt for this festive season.

We've caught the festival fever... and we are totally loving it!

A big thanks to the designers who gave us major festive fashion goals at the Pune Fashion Week 2016.

Here are 10 styles that impressed us to the core.

From pinks to purples, they came with modern cuts, beautiful floral designs and patchwork. Which one appeals to you the most?

Be it anarkalis, gowns or Indian wear, this colour was much in spotlight. #InVogue

Dear men, you can amp up your ethnic style with a bandhani pagdi (turban).

IMAGE: See how bling got back in both Indian and western ensembles.
What's your choice -- a flashy fiery red embellished ethnic creation with a dupatta thrown over or a black curve-cinching spaghetti gown with a sheer cape on top? 

IMAGE: This embroidered front-buttoned kurti with pockets teamed over a pair of cigarette pants and high heels certainly didn't miss our attention. Cute nose ring!

IMAGE: Meanwhile a female model showed us how to glam up in a layered mini with gold embroidery, left, and a male model went all traditional in a dhoti-kurta. Inspired much?

IMAGE: And there were more styles for men... wow!
Between a classic structured suit or a kurta-pyjama with a stole around the neck, which one would you opt for?

IMAGE: These models showed us how go bold and creative with out-of-the-box make-up and accessories.
