Actress Tejaswini’s 10 rules of style

Trendy accessories and bold colours define actress Tejaswini’s sense of style…

1. Some clothes look good only on the mannequin, so don’t burn a hole in your pocket without trying them on!

2. I can’t stop myself from buying watches. I am fond of those studded with precious stones. I added a Swarovski crystals studded Rado to my collection recently. A diamond-studded watch is my other priced possession.

3. I accessorise my outfits with broad belts. Leather clutches also make for a good accessory. 

4. I often wear pencil heels as they give one a good posture. Peep toes dominate my foot wear collection. My favourite is a golden pair from Jimmy Choo. Inc 5 also offers a trendy collection.

5. For award functions, I dress in gowns. Salwars are what I wear for family functions. Halter tops and jeans are my idea of casual dressing.

6. Dubai and Malaysia are shopping havens. But do watch out for fake brands that are aplenty in Malaysia. In Bangalore, Commercial Street is my one stop shop.

7. Purple and red colours pep me up, though I must say that black and white dresses are must-haves in everyone’s wardrobes. Also, dark colours tend to make people look thinner. 

8. Try sticking to a minimal make-up look. A lip gloss, kajal and a liner will do the trick. What you can however experiment with is the eye shadow. The colour of the eyeshadow could be a contrast to the colour of your dress.

9. I trust only certain brands — Bobbi Brown, Mac and Sephora — when it comes to cosmetics.

10. Keep your hair tied to avoid it from becoming frizzy.
