Layers can be used on frocks, long maxis, Kurtis and even sarees.

  • Colour Combinations

Even if the designs, structure, and embroidery of an outfit are flawless, the entire outfit can blow out of proportion if the colour combination is messed up. Color combination reflects the personality of the person in the dress. When it comes to fashion sense, it is one of the most important elements to be taken into consideration. There should be a colour palette for every outfit. It can be dark, bright, a mixture of both or it can be nude shades, or grey, whatever best defines your style.
