Vidya Malvade's 10 rules of style

One shouldn’t blindly follow the rules; wear what suits you, advises actress Vidya Malvade.

1. According to me, denims are the most comfortable garment. Make sure you have a pair of well-fitted jeans in your wardrobe.

2. What’s a women’s closet without the classic Little Black Dress? They are just perfect for any occasion!

3. Always have a range of casual tees that you can can slip on with denims or trousers. They come handy when you can’t ‘find’ anything to wear!

4. I love saris and have a big collection. I’d recommend all women, even the younger ones, to have a few pretty saris on them.

5. Jewellery is all about personal choices. However, a pair of solitaire studs are timeless and can be worn with anything, any time.

6. Watches make quite a statement by itself. Now that big dial watches are quite in vogue, pick a nice one with a metal strap.

7. When it comes to bags, always have a selection of basic bags for different purposes. A black one, a sling bag and a clutch is a must.

8. A good dress always needs the right footwear to go along with it. A pair of heels, ballerinas and flip flops are some of the options.

9. Never follow trends blindly. Everything eventually depends on your body type. So, choose wisely.

10. A lot of people have become conscious of their bodies lately and are trying to lose a lot of weight fast. But don’t starve much and hurt your body. Your body is your temple... make sure you don’t harm it!
