Bring white back: Fashion designer Nimirita Lalwani

Fashion designer Nimirita Lalwani shares her 10 basic rules for women to look good anytime of the day.

Don’t be colour-coordinated from head to toe. You’ll end up looking like a blob.

Understand your body and dress accordingly. Know whether to opt for tight or loose fitting clothes because you don’t want to be the focus of bad criticism.

Do not mix prints with solid colour. Even though it might not look obvious, sometimes the clash can be quite the disaster.

Always have a pair of neutral high heels to go with any look; it doesn’t matter what time of day or night it is.

Get whites back into your wardrobe to go with the season. White is one of the only colours that can dominate your entire look and still look fabulous.

Never have more than one statement jewellery on your body. It will prevent you from looking totally overdressed.

This is something I believe in religiously. Do not ruin your hair with excessive colouring and highlights. Keep it simple.

Your wardrobe must consist of the basics; the LBD, a white shirt and a good pair of jeans.

Even whether it’s in season or not, one pair of boots is a must-have for every woman.

Keep a good pair of shades handy; it’ll perk your look up almost immediately.
