Fashion Tabu

 Fashion has no expiry date. In fact, for many women, the years after 50 bring something far more valuable than following every new trend — the confidence to know what truly suits you. I like to call this our Second Innings — a time to rediscover ourselves, our wardrobes and our personal style. Here are a few simple rules I believe in: 1. Dress for the woman you are today Don't hold on to clothes simply because they suited you ten or twenty years ago. Choose silhouettes that make you feel comfortable, elegant and confident now. 2. Fit matters more than size Never let the number on a clothing label define you. A beautifully fitted outfit will always look more polished than something chosen simply because it is a particular size. 3. Colour is your friend There is no rule saying women should start wearing dull colours as they grow older.

Fashion trends come and go, but good style is timeless. Over the years, I have learnt that looking stylish isn't about following every trend—it is about knowing what works for you. Here are my five timeless rules: ✨ Dress for your proportions — Adapt trends to suit your body and personality. 🎨 Use colour wisely — The right colours can brighten your entire look. 💎 Choose one statement element — Let your outfit, jewellery or dupatta be the star rather than having everything compete for attention. 👜 Accessories make a difference — A belt, brooch, jewellery or a different dupatta drape can completely transform an outfit. ❤️ Create your signature style — Don't copy fashion. Take inspiration and make it your own. The most stylish woman isn't necessarily wearing the latest trend. She is the woman who knows herself and wears her clothes with confidence. — Tabu | Fashion Tabu

Sometimes we don't really leave behind the things we love. We simply take a little pause before finding our way back to them. And so, after a long break, Fashion Tabu is back! Fashion has been a part of my life for decades — as a stylist, designer, entrepreneur, writer and, most importantly, as someone who has always enjoyed helping women discover what truly works for them. When I first began writing Fashion Tabu, my purpose was simple: to share practical fashion and styling ideas drawn from real experience rather than simply following trends. That philosophy hasn't changed. What has changed is the world of fashion around us. Today we have endless inspiration at our fingertips, yet getting dressed can sometimes feel more confusing than ever. What colours work together? How much jewellery is too much? How can we restyle something already in our wardrobe? How do we look contemporary without losing our individuality? These are exactly the conversations I would like to bring back t...
