My personal style in three words
Edgy, chic, ethnic.
My top 5 wardrobe essentials
- A basic black/white top is a must for your wardrobe. You can style it every season and in so many different ways. I’ve styled this top with some ethnic jewelry for a chic look.
- A leather jacket: My leather jacket is 6 years old and I still love it! It instantly gives my outfit a very edgy vibe.
- A colourful koti: I love wearing kotis over plain bodysuits and jeans. Especially on days when I don’t feel like putting in any effort. The ethnic kotis oomph up any outfit.
- A velvet jora: perfect for winter weddings!
- Ethnic jewelry: I love styling ethnic jewelry with all sorts of outfits.
My top 5 shoe essentials
- Chunky Ankle Boots
- A pair of nude heels
- Nike Airfoces
- A chic pair of slides for the summer
- My most favourite — khussas! I style khussas in the summer and spring with desi and western outfits.
My favourite vintage item
To be honest, I dont think I own anything vintage right now. But my mom is holding on to her 25 year old wedding lengha for my big day and I’m pretty sure it’s going to be my favourite when I wear it!
My most prized possession
This has to be the denim jacket my dad got for me from New York. It’s an ordinary denim jacket but what makes it so special is that my Dad chose it for me. The jacket reflects his style and I absolutely love it. He got it for me almost 6 years ago!
