Shantanu & Nikhil - a brand that excels in creating contemporary styles with an extra punch of glamour - has set a benchmark for modern cocktail-worthy pieces. Every inch of these designer outfits is injected with luxe-modernism. One look, and you'll notice at least one element that makes the outfit stand apart - be it a dramatic silhouette, power sleeves, traffic-stopping highlighter hue, or an elegant drape.
Wearing these glam outfits requires a detailed understanding of how to style elaborate outfits. The key here is to nail the minimalism to maximalism ratio. It's all about the balance, you see. And who better than our favourite influencers to show us the 'This or That' better? Sit back and take notes on how to style the outfit and where to wear them inspired by our much-loved influencers.
