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?
I’ve experienced it all. I’ve been a fat and round kid in elementary school and skinny and tall in high school. I was broad and full bodied in college and now I’m settling back to being tall and skinny.
How has your body changed over the last five years?
A lot! From being broad, which I thought would stay with me forever to then being skinny, the transformation made me realise how our bodies can surprise us in so many ways. Sometimes we underestimate our bodies and don’t push ourselves forward, but honestly take that extra step and you’ll see the magic our bodies can create.
How has your style changed over the years?
My style has definitely evolved and matured over the years. There have been many phases! From having those smokey kajal eyes all the time in school to keeping it minimal and natural on regular days. I love experimenting; so it’s safe to say there’s been a phase for just about every trend!
What item in your closet do you wear the most?
Plain white kurta shalwar.
What is the one piece of clothing that you would never wear?
Dhoti shalwars!
In your opinion what is the biggest mistake a person can make while dressing?
Don’t overdo it, keep it simple. You don’t really have to wear that chunky necklace with big earrings and then pair it up with a fully printed outfit. Go easy on yourself and your style! Don’t follow trends blindly. Also, it’s about carrying yourself. Even a plain white tee can make a great style statement if you know how to style it right.
What’s your favourite item in your closet?
My PJ’s.
What’s a style every woman should try at least once in her life?
Boho chic!
If you could have any TV or movie character’s wardrobe, whose would you chose and why?
Serena van der Woodsen.
Which silhouettes suit your body the most?
Some days it’s long flowing dresses - other days boot cut pants so my legs are highlighted; making me feel extra tall.
