Which self-respecting Indian woman wears tennis skirts while playing tennis like this model in The Label by Ritu Kumar ?

This skirt by ATSU has danger written all over it

A leisurely brunch by the Lake Palace in Udaipur in this ATSU skirt? Not unless you want to be attacked by Indian men who can’t help themselves.
