As Malaika Arora nails the busy printed suit and neon shoes look, we tell you how you can pull off your own version of this unique combination.

Tapering tall
- Stick to two contrasting shades when you pick a busy monochrome suit; these shouldn't look confusing or messy.
- Opt for a pair of heels or sleek pumps in a neon variant that isn't too similar to any print, shade or design on the suit. If it's a black-and-white combination, don't wear a silver or grey option.
- The cut of the two-piece is crucial. Padded shoulders or a style that gives the same illusion works best, especially when paired with tapering pants. This helps prevent you from looking too formal, which takes away from the look.
- Wear an accessory from the same family of colours inside - a silk turtleneck will look great.
- Be generous with your kajal.
Neon top-up
- Sombre plaids are best for a formal event. Use a thin belt to cinch it.
- Add a dash of colour by sporting a solid neon hat or cap depending on the occasion. Even a beanie works.
- Pair this with nude shoes or even ones with the same pattern as the suit.
When boots are bae
- If you wish to flaunt many shades, go for a design with minute symmetrical elements.
- Keep with seasonal changes, and wear a cool pair of bright boots with buckles.
- You can even choose a power cape suit, which would complement the bad-ass vibe the boots offer.
