Getting more from these captions

Shoot in a real place
A market lane, terrace or chai stall gives the desi look context. Plain studio walls can make the outfit look flat.
One Hinglish line is enough
Mix languages in a single short line. Anything longer risks reading oddly to people who don't follow Hindi.
Show one footwear detail
A close photo of kolhapuris or jutti with your outfit often gets saved by people shopping for shoes.
