What accessories should I buy that are in fashion today? I want to order some from Malaysia.

Vaishnavi (13) / Maharashtra

Well, fashion is what you feel comfortable in. If you want to have a funky look, wear long chains with big pendants and heavy rings. If you want to keep it simple yet stylish you can wear thin silver chains with cute pendants and earrings as well as bracelets and delicate rings. Now that you ordering your jewelry from Malaysia get a variety of the available accessories there.

I am 19-years-old and need a beautiful hairstyle. My face is convex and fair. But my hair is very thin with less volume. My forehead is large. What hairstyle will look cool as well as seem a bit traditional? Do I need to colour my hair?

Apoorva Bhargava

Loosen it up! Get a fringe cut, it's the in-thing, easy to manage and also gives a stylish look. Keep your fringes slightly below your eyes so that your hair will envelop your large forehead, do not cut the length from behind, just get a nice step or a layer cut. Team this up with colourful hair bands and clips. Instead of colouring your hair, use hair extensions to avoid hair damage.

I have so many shoes but I don't know which type of footwear must be worn with which outfit. I usually wear skirts and shorts with tees.

Raktima (15) / Jammu

Wear colourful flip-flops with capris and jeans, skimpy sandals with short skirts and frocks, ballerinas with formal skirts or trousers. You can even wear sport shoes with shorts and denim skirts. For parties you can wear high heels on your skirts and one-piece.

I'm 5'9" tall and too thin, about 55 kgs, and fair complexioned. I'm very simple in my dressing and hair style. I want to change my looks and look posh.

Jose (25) / Mangalore

You are gifted with a good height, start going to the gym to get a good physique! Wear loose formal shirts, printed shirts with jeans or trousers. Accessorize with a nice big dial watch. Wear either formal shoes or Converse, the all time favo type of shoes will go best with your attire. If you want to keep your look a little less formal go in for chest print tee shirts and jeans or knee length pants with slippers or sneakers. Colorful slippers are in!

I'm 5'6" tall, slim with short hair. What clothes would suit me? I usually stick to jeans and tops, so I want to try something new.

Jingle (16) / Kerala

The rainy season is here, so you can wear short skirts, capris with colourful plain or chest printed tee tops. Team them up with wooden bangles or colourful plastic bangles or bracelets. Go for skimpy sandals or slippers i.e. flip-flops. Try harem pants with short tank tops and a waistcoat to get an altogether different look.

My parents do not allow me to wear western dresses much, especially skirts and short tops. I can only wear jeans with a kurti and suits. What else can I wear?

Zaisha (16) / Kanpur

You can wear tunics and long printed kurtas with leggings or Patiala pants. Wear short kurtas with jeans. Experiment with different types of patterns on your kurti or design them yourself to make it look stylish and different. Try a mix and match combo. Go in for bandhni kurtas or cotton printed kurtas.
