The "Big" fashion trend includes mixing luxury labels (Gucci, Prada, Balenciaga) with traditional elements, like a designer puffer jacket over a Kurta. This "Big Flex" culture is a hallmark of the modern Punjabi diaspora. 5. Embracing Body Positivity and Confidence

The "Big" in Punjabi fashion also refers to a celebration of presence. Punjabi style has always embraced bold patterns and vibrant colors that suit all body types.
