FASHION ADVICE, STYLE TIPS, ACCESSORIES AND MORE...

I’m 15-years-old and I usually wear very simple clothes but I want to wear clothes like mini skirts, short tops, etc. But when I wear these I feel very uncomfortable. What can I do?
Minakshi S. / Pune

Hi Minakshi, the most important rule with clothes is to ALWAYS wear what you are comfortable in. If you are not comfortable with what you are wearing it will show and you will only end up looking awkward. There are so many different kinds of great clothing options in varying lengths, colours and styles. Choose from capris , jeans, trousers, skirts and dresses. And since you want to wear skirts why not try a knee length skirt with a nice fitted shirt/ T-shirt. They are not so short but look just as great.

What kind of accessories should be worn on a black evening gown?
Arti Nankani (Age 16) / Solapur

Hi Arti, a black evening gown is a very elegant outfit, so it’s best to keep the jewellery elegant too. Silver jewellery works best or you can also wear costume jewellery. It costs less and there is so much variety available in stores. A neckpiece and silver earrings will look great, or you can leave your neck bare and instead wear dangling earrings and a nice ring. Carry an evening purse or a beaded bag large enough to hold all the essentials (keys , money and lipgloss) and finally to complete the look wear elegant but comfortable high heeled shoes.

I am 13 years old and 5 feet 1 inch tall. I am not slim and I feel heavy in the bust area. What kind of clothes I should wear?
Alisha / Jhansi

Hi Alisha, all of us would love to be tall and slim, but you need to remember you are special and unique and you need to start believing that since no one else will unless you do. The right kinds of clothes though can surely help accentuate your best features.

And finally the one thing you should always wear – your SMILE.

I want some cool styling tips for my hair. I have waist-length hair which I can’t do anything about except tie a ponytail. My hair is also frizzy. What kind of hairstyle should I go in for?
Sania Sharma / Delhi

Hi Sania, to begin with you should visit a good salon to get a cut that will not only suit your face but also help you to manage your hair. Ask the stylist to suggest a haircut and styling tips to suit your face, hair and life-style.

To tame frizzy hair

If possible use a leave-in conditioner. Hot oil treatments will also give you some temporary control to frizzy hair, but you'll probably need to use them weekly or bi-weekly. For styling options you can choose from braiding your hair, wearing it in a bun or even a ponytail, but make sure accent your style with beautiful hair clips and hair ornaments.
