Never ape fashion trends blindly; you need to first understand what suits you and adapt accordingly. One look may suit one person but not the other.
Discover model-turned-actor Nikita Anand’s rules of style...
1. Never ape fashion trends blindly; you need to first understand what suits you and adapt accordingly. One look may suit one person but not the other. A lot depends on the figure and type of personality.
2. Fit is most important! No matter what shape or size you are, if the fit is not right, you can end up looking pretty awkward and nothing can fix it.
3. Mix and match, get experimental. Don’t just go with a fixed set of tops with a particular pair of jeans and vice versa. Try mixing and matching them.
4. Don’t be afraid of colours, they are beautiful! But that does not mean you can dress up like a clown and have all the colours of the rainbow on you. Instead, identify a few colours that suit your skin tone and shape.
5. Understated always works. In the quest of trying to make a statement, people sometimes end up going over the top. Don’t make a spectacle of yourself. Just be understated, yet stylish.
6. Dress according to your body type. Clothes that suit a thin frame might not look good on a broad one; pick your clothes according to your frame.
7. Accentuate either the eyes or the mouth, don’t accentuate both! It will lead to confusion, for it will draw attention to two different areas.
8. Accessories must compliment the outfit, not overpower them! That’s the cardinal rule; accessories are there to up the style quotient, not to overrule the outfit.
9. When in doubt, wear black! Black suits any frame and any shape, so if you want to play safe and are not in the mood to experiment, then black it is.
10. Clothes make a man, but shoes make a statement, so make sure that you invest on some good pairs. They go a long way in not only changing the whole look but also upping your style quotient.
