Helping
you look your very best at all times (after all, looking good is no mean task),
presenting you the seven essentials in every diva's closet.
1. The Little Black Dress : According
to Karl Lagerfeld - the head honcho of Chanel and Fendi
-"One is never over-dressed or underdressed with a Little Black
Dress." And we couldn't agree more.
LBDs have come to exist as the quintessential requirement in every woman's
wardrobe. You cannot call yourself a fashion diva if you do not own one. The
timeless appeal of the Little Black Dress can be credited to its simplicity and
elegance and of course, the sassiness and sex appeal of the colour
black. Always buy an LBD that is simple and elegant. Anything that is too
flashy or fashionable will lose its appeal over time.
2. White shirt : This one's a fashionista's
favourite
and every woman has to have it in her wardrobe. There are so many wonderful
ways you can use a white shirt to add an interesting twist to your look. A long
white shirt can even be worn as a dress, which is by the way, all the rage this
season. The best thing about a white shirt is that it complements almost
anything and everything-skirts, trousers, shorts or even a casual pair of
jeans. You may dress up or dress down by adding the right kind of accessories
to your white shirt outfit.
3. A pair of well fitted Jeans : A pair of
well fitted jeans is every woman's right. Skirts and dresses are cool, but if
it wasn't for jeans we wouldn't have discovered casual chic. They've made our
life so much easier. You can always bank on that favourite
pair of jeans to rescue you from a fashion cul de
sac moment. However, finding the perfect fit can be quite a hassle. A lot of hard work goes into figuring out the
shape and size that flatters you the most. A little help never hurts, so here
you go -
ØHourglass-
Mid rise, wide legged jeans will enhance your curves in the most flattering
way.
ØPear
shaped-If you tend to be heavier in the bottom, a mid-rise pair of jeans will
take away the attention from your more endowed regions and give the impression
of longer legs. Never ever go for high waisted
jeans.
ØApple
shaped- A straight cut pair of jeans will do you good. However avoid super
skinny at all costs.
ØRectangle-Flared
bottoms and boot cuts add the impression of curves.
4. Day
Dress/Maxi Dress/Cotton Salwar Kameez
: Considering the fact that the weather in India is largely hot and humid, a
day dress or a cotton salwar kameez
would be the perfect choice to beat the sweltering heat. Choose one in fun and
bold prints. While a short day dress may be an awesome choice for those with a
killer pair of legs, the more curvy ladies can always sashay in a stylish maxi
dress.
5. Any occasion top/Kurta
: What do you wear when you don't know what to wear? That's a question that
haunts many a woman. A top that can be dressed up or down with the help of
accessories for a formal or informal look can solve the problem. From the edgy
graphic T-shirts to the more feminine sweetheart neck, halters, off
shouldered-there is a lot to choose from. But the big question is-will it suit
your body type? For e.g. a scoop neck
top would look best on a pear shaped body type, while a V neck suits apple
shaped ladies. However, there are a lot of other things that should be
considered, like the face shape and the neck length. The next time you go
shopping look for a top that flatters your body and can be used both for formal
and informal occasions.
6. Pumps : Pump up your fashion quotient with
a stylish pair of black pumps. You can go for whichever colour
you like, but black is perhaps more versatile and looks sexier. You can never
go wrong with them-formal or informal, pumps are a sure shot way to create an
impression and make heads turn.
7. Statement Jewellery : High on impact, you
can jazz up an otherwise boring outfit with statement jewellery.
A choker or a collar necklace when paired with a simple outfit in monochrome colour
looks edgy and elegant at the same time. However, there is a simple rule of
wearing statement jewellery-
it's a sin to go heavy on statement jewellery.
Wearing too many pieces together will only kill your look and you'd look more
like a fashion outcast than a fashion diva.
Adorn
your wardrobe with these fashion staples and live a fashionable life. Three
cheers to womanhood!
P.S
- Since the weather in India is ever changing, you would need to add more to
the list. For instance-a cashmere sweater, trench coat and a pair of boots
become important in the winter season and monsoons are the time for flip flops
and crocs. But that shouldn't be a problem, as we women always have room for
more in our closets. Don't we?
