“Knife pleats
are as feminine
as it gets. While
I love the
silhouette, I feel
a studded bag
and sneakers
toughen up
the look. Add
gilded hoops
and you have
yourself a great
desk-to-dinner
outfit, too!”ARSHA HIRANI, 22
“Shorts are a summer staple, and usually fall
under the cazjh category. But I love sprucing up
a basic pair by teaming it with something dressy
like a crop top (seen here), or metallic heels. It
just makes the look so much more interesting.”

“I’m obsessed
with the
colour red
these days. I
believe the
trick to getting
a red-on-red-
on-red look
right is by
playing with
tones and
textures. My
dress, shoes
and bag are
all different
shades—it
helps to
break the
monotony.”SOMYA MALIK, 21
“I often use a printed
piece as the focal point
of my outfit and build
the look around it.
Here, my bell-shaped
skirt plays the lead, and
the monochrome extras
(like the top and shoes)
help me keep it the
centre of attention.”VANI M
DHALL, 27
“It took me a
while to get on
board the over-
the-knee socks
trend, but I’m
completely in
love with it now.
I love how it adds
edge to a super-
girly outfit.”
