Pick a ganji that’s one size larger than your usual and pair it with loose, boyfriend, mom or ripped jeans. You can add a twist to this by tucking one corner of the ganji into the jeans. Ganjis are especially flattering when paired with high-waist pants that have a tapered bottom. Accessorise with double or triple-layered necklaces, or chunky bracelets. Don’t hesitate to mix and match shapes, colours and textures to add more dimension to your look, says Bhanot.

For a travel look that is on par with off-duty model fashion, pair a loose, lightweight ganji with shorts and chunky sneakers or ankle boots. While black and white are classic colours, neon and pastels look great on ganjis and immediately make your look stand out. Finish your look with oversized hoop earrings and a messy bun. 

Indo-Western flair

High-waist palazzo pants or skirts with traditional Indian prints or embroidery pair well with ganjis. Add large bohemian earrings and a scarf or cape for even more pizzazz. You can also dress up the shoulders with large earrings worn as brooches. When doing your makeup, don’t hesitate to go bold either with your lip colour or your eye make-up, Bhanot advises. 

Layer it

When worn for a formal event, ganjis can come off as slightly too casual unless paired smartly. Draping a scarf shifts the focal point away from a low neckline to your face, while a smart blazer or shrug adds more visual weight.
