Nidhi Agarwal, founder and CEO of western non-casual wear brand KAARYAH, doles out a few shopping tips:
• Fit
Fit is the most important criteria vis-à-vis definition of “appropriateness” to an occasion. While general rules for sleeve length, pant lengths apply, wearing a well fitted garment is also a function of preference and what suits your body shape.
• Functionality
Just as you may not wear walking shoes to a board meeting, you may want to rethink your stilettos on a factory visit. So, stay comfortable while looking good.
• Go beyond boring
Formal wear doesn't necessarily mean plain. Wearing bright colours, detailed embroidery or frills are not improper as long as they are not distracting.
• Fashion forward
You can even take inspiration from runways and incorporate fashion into formal clothing.
