Doing Casual Right

It is my pet peeve. Why do we seldom get casual right? We do just fine for weddings and formal events but come casual it is a mess. Even our stars with all the stylists and designers at their disposal seem to have a tough time with that.

Check out the following pics. Let's take a look at what works and what needs work ( I am starting from who I think needs the most help)

Katrina looks like she fell out of bed, picked up and put on what was on the floor and walked out the door. From her rumpled, un-cuffed shirt to the greenish white sneakers, she is a disaster. If you have to wear a black shirt blue jeans combo. I would:

Roll up the shirt sleeves to near the elbows

Pile on some chunky metallic kadas

And add metallic gladiator sandals.

Now how difficult is that? This would have defi taken her from drab to fab.

Kareena has most of her look down fine. White ruffled tshirt - check, shaded sunglasses - check. But silver sneakers - I think she was influenced by her Kambakht Ishq costar Akshay's silver shoes (see an earlier post). Girl, metallic - yes, sneakers - no. A pair of silver gladiators would have nailed this look.

Looks like both women wanted to wear flats - then something like this pair from Cole Haan would have worked for both Katrina and Kareena.

And then there is Bipasha. She has it right ( my only worry is that I could not find a full Length picture and could not see her shoes).

She has all the right trends in place. White sleeveless shirt, jeans, armful of bracelets and a messenger bag ( so in right now). The more fringe you have on your bag, the better.
