The Mekhela Sador is Assam's traditional two-piece attire, loved for its elegant drape and grand look. While traditionally worn in classical ways, modern fashionistas are styling it with creative twists. First, pair your Mekhela Sador with a contrast crop top, high-neck blouse, or an embellished jacket instead of the standard matching blouse.
