She left a mark as the ambitious, fashionable and snooty Pinky Bose in Aisha. Like her reel character, Ira Dubey too is hooked onto fashion in real life. This leggy lass swears by shorts in summers. She shares her list of five summer wardrobe must-haves with CS:
Floral prints come back in vogue every spring-summer. You find zillions of tops and dresses with floral designs. But then, you need to choose as per your body type. Just a top, a skirt or a colourful scarf can do the trick. I have a lovely cotton flowing maxi dress with delicate floral prints and a cool ganji with bolder ones.u00a0u00a0
Sexy shorts
Shorts are cool, amazing and versatile. Andu00a0 they are highly comfortable. People stick to few colours like black, grey, blue and white when it comes to shorts. But I love wearing shades of pink, yellow, mustard, and red. Also, tailored shorts are in this season. I wore one to a formal event a few days back and it didn't feel out of place. You can adjust the length of tailored shorts; they needn't be very skimpy. Team them with a crisp white shirt to look a little formal.u00a0
Glares
I am not a sucker for luxury items per se, but I have a weakness for glares. In fact, I spend a bomb on glares. Tom Ford is my favourite brand. He's the best sunglass designer. All his shades are in unisex designs and suit almost every face cut. I also like Gucci and Chanel. I love the Aviator style in glares; it's an all-time classic. A good pair of glares is a must in summers. It helps prevent headaches. Avoid wearing large sunglasses if you have a small face.u00a0
Big bags
Every girl needs a big day-bag for summers. I love Balenciaga bags, but don't own one as yet. I am against the idea of someone buying one for me, so it has to wait till I can afford it! My friends tell me that my bag resembles a suitcase, and it's not without a reason. It has my pencil box, notepad, wallet, candies pouch, make up kit, scripts, a book to read, sunglasses, hand sanitizer, lip gloss, munchies and so on. And my IPod on days when I travel far for shoots. I feel every girl must have a good sunscreen, lip gloss and mascara with her for summer make up. So girls, opt for big bag with compartments to segregate your stuff and strong straps to withhold the load.
A dash of colour
Summer is the time for colours. The 70s shades like neon green, sky blue, lime green, fuchsia, are all making a comeback. Wearing colours in summer helps you beat the blues of the tiring weather. Moreover, I am not a monochromatic person to always stick to the whites and blacks. I love a pop of colour. In fact, hot pink, peach and corals are great shades for summer. Just apply some coral lipstick on your face and see it bring instant attention to your face.
