In one of her lines, Mehta played with monochrome tie-and-dye dhoti pants to give it a modern twist. Masaba Gupta, known for her colourful designs, sells a lot of dhoti pants in vibrant colours and quirky and sometimes kitschy prints.
The forms of dhoti pants can be varied - cropped, printed or embellished - but choose to team it well.
"Pair a monochromatic tie-dye pant with funky belt, statement jewellery and heels for a modern gypsy look or with a blouse or a camisole for a more feminine look. Complete the look with heels, flat, mojaris, gladiators or even regular chappals," added Mehta.
Also, why must girls have all the fun with dhoti pants? Men are also experimenting and wearing them with a long shirt, bandhgala jacket, shirt and blazer for a chic look.
The trend has gone international too - Tamil actor Simbu recently made international R&B singer Akon wear a veshti (dhoti) when the latter was shooting for the music video of the global version of his hit love single "Love Anthem".
