The festive season is here. And if you are looking to get some last-minute shopping done for an office festive look or a party, we’ve got you! In our very first edition of Westside Style File, we’ve got the stylish face, Aastha Atray, a Mumbai-based author and the editor of Sunday Mid-day, with quick fashion tips that you can put your own spin on! Read ahead to know how Aastha plans her work wardrobe and what festive workwear means for her.
W-Style: How do you choose your workwear outfits?
Aastha: My workwear outfits are a mix of comfy and stylish. I like to dress up to work to feel more confident and in charge. People also react to you differently when you are well-dressed. I stick to my style — easy, romantic and feminine. So, I try keeping that mix in mind and accessorise.
W-Style: What does festive dressing mean to you?
Aastha: Bright colours and prints! And use bold jewellery to accessorise. Juttis are a must. But yes, be comfy. If you can’t be comfy in a sari, wear a dress, and make it festive.
W-Style: What are your wardrobe staples?
Aastha: My wardrobe staples are white dresses, black dresses and basically a lot of dresses. And yes, accessories.
W-Style: Please tell us what made you choose these Westside styles and how have you styled them?
Aastha: I liked these pieces because they go with my aesthetic of being bright and whimsical. They are flowy and breezy and that’s lovely. I have styled them with cute juttis and lots of statement jewellery.
W-Style: Any styling tips for busy working women?
Aastha: 1. Try and figure what you want to wear the night before. So that you are relaxed in the morning.
- Invest in some fun statement jewellery — big hoops and necklaces will go with everything.
- Choose one thing that’s yours — I love hearts, so I wear a lot of them in the form of jewellery or motifs.
- Choose a silhouette that flatters you and stick to it
- Don’t follow trends or try and replicate an outfit that you’ve seen someone wear. Style it and own your look.
