The oh-so-charming publicist and fashionista, Alveena Abid shares her style secrets. From the silhouettes she loves to the styles she avoids, she decodes her style

Understanding your body is the key to looking good and a trait found amongst all impeccably dressed fashionistas. While people shy away from talking about their bodies, these brave souls explain how they work their anatomies to their advantage



How would you describe your body type?

Athletic.

Has your body type changed over the last five years?

Yes! I would call it a drastic transformation. My metabolism and I don’t get along, so weight management has always been an issue. But over the past five years I have started eating clean and working out to help keep myself in shape.

How has your style changed over the years?

It hasn’t changed much as I have always kept it minimal. But yes, one thing that has changed for sure is that I have started following trends quite regularly but only the ones that suit me.

In your opinion what is your most troublesome area?

My legs.

How do you dress your body according to your body type?

I have always avoided body-hugging silhouettes since I am very conscious about my curves. I usually pair my tops with palazzos and culottes.



In your opinion what is the biggest mistake a person can make while dressing here?

Not dressing up according to their age.

Which silhouettes suit your body the most?

Flowy.

What is the one piece of clothing that you shy away from wearing and why?

One piece, hmm! There’s actually a very long list but I can’t wear anything that’s too revealing because I feel uncomfortable.
