[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. This has been an interesting discussion! 
One more thought to add as I’m thinking about it more: I’m realizing part of what makes me uncomfortable wearing clothes from my husbands ethnicity is that I’ve have 30-40 years to tune my weak sense of style for American clothes into something that I’m comfortable with as an adult woman. With south Asian clothes, I’ve only had indirect exposure (not living in the country of origin) for 10 years. Most of my clothes are gifted to me from my elderly in laws (who would be ecstatic if I chose to wear the clothes they give me 24/7! Btw). I can only assume that their sense of style doesn’t reflect what a younger person should be wearing but I’m so naïve (since it’s not my culture of origin and I generally struggle with style) and haven’t had the same lifetime to tune my own style in SA clothes. DH is no help with style either. [/quote]

So this is a completely different question that what you originally asked!! If you're worried about being "in style", then there are plenty of sites on the internet and instagram accounts you can follow to get a sense of what is appropriate (heck, Mindy Kaling just posted all of her Diwali party styles on instagram this week, they were gorgeous). You can also do your own shopping by visiting some shops and asking for help.[/quote]
