Fashion Tabu

Black is the colour everyone is ready to play with even in spring-summer.

Let your feminine side shine this spring - or at least let your purse sit in a chic tote.

Grooms-to-be can try Indo-western sherwanis, Jodhpuri suits or fashionable wedding sherwanis embellished with intricate craftsmanship to look regal and exclusive.

While at work parties, never go overboard  with the attire. Keep it essentially practical and functional, which also expresses a sense of sophistication.

The envelope clutch is fast becoming everyone's favourite accessory. So hurry up and buy yourself one now.

The Miss India World crown was inspired by India's national bird, the peacock. The motif in the centre of the crown resembles a peacock feather. The Miss India International crown was inspired by the design of a ladder. This represented the struggle faced by the contestants in achieving their dreams. The Miss India Earth crown was inspired by the lotus petal. The curves of the petals represented the ability of a woman to adapt herself to various situations.

The colours to wear this season are red, white, nude, rose pink, blue, tan, aqua and shell pink.

Lace proves to be surprisingly versatile - as a decorative element or in the shape of cool trousers, sexy dresses and casual cargo skirts.

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

If you have a hour glass shaped body, wear bold coloured clothes or solid colours as these will follow your curves and draw attention to your strengths.

Fashion is an extension of who we are and is more about style that respects individuality.

Military mania is taking over with camouflage prints. Opt for colours like brown and olive green.

The envelope clutch is fast becoming everyone's favourite accessory. So hurry up and buy yourself one now.

If all the dress lines work together in harmony, they create an attractive visual effect.

Although this may seem like a trend from at least 20 years ago, it is definitely making its way back.  Long sleeves are a nice and traditional alternative to all of those strapless and capped sleeve dresses.

Dressing is the art of camouflage and misdirection. Learn how to make the eyes go where you want it to,  choose the best styles to flatter your body type and solve the quintessential crisis of picking the right dress.

Though chiffon clothes look  elegant when worn, avoid wearing them if you are skinny, as well as during the monsoons.

The key to being well turned out has a lot to do with your comfort level in the clothes you are wearing.

Colours create a kind of balance in what is amiss in our life. If you are angry, you must avoid wearing red colour as this will make you more aggressive.

We are seeing a lot of the Spring Fashion with beautiful lace or tulle covered necklines.  Surprisingly enough, I think it can even help accentuate your beautiful face.

Traditional and charming, the colour pink is feminine all the way. 

Witty, sarcastic and always unbiased commentary on the fashion flubs and faux pas of Bollywood celebs! Sonam  Kapoor is wearing a Masaba for Satya Paul saree. It's a kitschy saree worn with a corset with a Peter Pan collar for that vintage look. I somehow like the blend of the olden look with the latest trend. Shilpa Shetty is seen wearing an emerald green jumpsuit. It does nothing to enhance her body shape. Nevertheless, emerald is the Pantone Colour of the Year 2013. Neha Dhupia is wearing an elegant gown with a neat hair style . The make up is fine, so are her accessories. Except one thing that needs to be overlooked is the badly stitched hem. Still it is not her fault as her designer is to be blamed. She is carrying the outfit with great élan .

This season, flaunt a sparkling polished surface handbag in fresh candy hues that not only goes well with your casual outfits but also your formal work wear

Choose the right look for an occasion. It is a disastrous idea to wear jeans for a formal event. It is as foolish as it is to wear a mini skirt at an Indian wedding.

It is the best time to flaunt the uber feminine floral trend. Say hello to spring!

Diagonal lines are dynamic and attract attention.

Nothing looks better than a neat well turned out appearance which exudes confidence and natural charm.

If you want to appear taller than you are, wear a similar coloured top and bottom. A break in colour always stunts the look.
