Fashion Tabu

A white outfit can make a classic and is always just a comfortable reach away in your wardrobe.

To test colour fastness of a cloth, view the fabric in sunlight and in shade. If there is difference in colour, it will bleed. Also you can wipe the fabric with a wet cloth to check if it is fast colour.

A vertical line gives the illusion of height and it can also be used to divide the figure, making it appear thinner.

Black helps you to look thin. So place black colour at certain places like panels of your dress, it can work wonders to shape the entire look.

Clothes don't necessarily need to match. Sometimes the best look comes about when absolutely unconventional things are put together like checks with stripes.

 Net saris are in and a must in every young girls wardrobe as it is versatile and lends itself beautifully to every occasion.

When it comes to colour, the options are limitless. Block it up or go graphic and solid.

 Nayanthara, the South Indian glam doll who made her comeback into Tamil cinema after a brief hiatus is now a busy bee and has several offers up her sleeve.  Among them are the Ajith-Vishnuvardhan movie, 'Raja Rani', Idhu Kadhirvelanin Kaadhal and the Tamil-Telugu remake of Kahaani among others. She has denied the rumours that she is all set to share screen space with Sundar C in 'Aranmanai.' The Bollywood actress Tabu made a phenomenal landing into Mollywood almost a fifteen years ago, with the Priyadharshan movie ' Kaalapani' which ran in many festivals. She was also seen donning the female lead in the movie 'Coverstory'. Now after a decade from these movies, the tall actress will soon be making a comeback with the new movie 'Angry Birds'. What a title! Hope it creates the same effect as the game that got each one addicted to.

Be careful in choosing the fabric for your outfit. Tissues, organzas, organdies are stiff fabrics and will suit only slim people.

Be consistent. Look and act in a professional way. Pay as much attention to your physique as much to your clothes.

Follow your instincts with your clothes. You may not be wearing the latest fashions but at least you are feeling good.

Mixing is not about having a lot of clothes. It's about being resourceful. It can allow you to create a maximum wardrobe with a minimum investment.

Keep clothes neutral, so clothes and jewellery don't scream for attention.

The sari has retained it's beauty over centuries. It has become the most seductive garment with limitless possibilities for the future.

Fashion is a commodity that belongs to anyone and is yet universal.

Fashion is a sense of creating the charisma of looking good in anything you wear and this magic is created with the right kind of accessories going along with the foot wear and the clothes, making up a pleasant picture to view.
