Ananya served an appearance that wasn’t typical of her. This ensemble did not follow a single fashion trend. Ananya used a single eye-catching appearance to channel several fashion trends. Let’s explore it and find some fashion lessons.
Bows, leather, and denim are three different style elements that Ananya Panday elegantly combined in her ensemble. The adage “opposite attracts” has never been more stylish.
She incorporated the bow into her ensemble rather than using it as an accessory. The neckline of the strapless denim shirt had a striking bow. The pink flower accent in the center is reminiscent of the airy, whimsical, and romantic coquette flair of the original bows. However, this denim shirt gave the bow a dramatic, seductive boost. The denim top flared out from the midsection rather than fitting like a tube to create a more attractive silhouette. The denim top, which costs £180, or roughly Rs. 19,139, is a Denim Bandeau Top from the Mr. Self Portrait company.
Bows are usually made of breezy, fluffy materials like chiffon. However, the denim material’s integrated bow reveals the fun bows’ badass side.
Ananya wore leather with the denim top. A timeless, classic pair, leather and denim instantly evoke a particular grabbed “je ne sais quoi” spirit since the materials completely complement one another. The leather midi skirt costs £495 (about Rs. 52,630) and is from the same manufacturer, Mr. Self Portrait.
Ananya Panday opted for Swarovski dangler earrings as her accessory. The denim bow top is the focal point of the ensemble thanks to the sparse jewelry.
Finally, adhering to the fundamentals of matching shoes to skirts or accessories, Ananya paired her leather skirt with Aquazzura’s black pumps. It is roughly Rs. 83,647 and costs $975.
Style lessons learned:
A pair of jeans and leather is always a safe choice. Ideal for an impromptu OOTD.
Accessories don’t have to be accessories all the time. The next time, think of refashioning scarves, bracelets, scrunchies, and other accessories.
Use shapes to add interest to your ensemble. similar to how Ananya Panday’s shirt created visual interest by flaring at the hem. Use shape to add interest to a simple clothing that lacks texture or patterns. For lethal looks, a distinct silhouette is the preferred choice.
On the other hand, by letting go of the rigid duality of its visual personality, you can reinvent the classic aesthetic. Goths may look stunning in pink, and even villains can wield bows.
