When it comes to ever-changing fashion and ‘how-to’ inspiration, Bollywood has been our go-to saviour since time immemorial. Outfits featured in movies and well as worn by leading ladies while out for events often have us falling hook, line, and sinker for the fashion trends. But how does one exactly wear clothes the celeb style, without splurging more than required? And how to find what your personal style is? The answers all lie in your wardrobe, all you gotta do is figure it out! Here’s how you can shop on a budget and style yourself like your favourite celebrity.
Organise Your Wardrobe
This might sound redundant until you try it for yourself. Not only will cleaning up your wardrobe make it easier for you to see all your belongings, but you will also find some outfits you had forgotten all about. Totally worth it!
Make A Calendar
No, not a ‘to the T’ timetable that you have to follow come what may, but it’s good to have an idea of what you are going to wear, no? Pair your outfits in advance and you will not be sorry, we promise!
Browse Through Instagram
We have all been there at some point or the other, so when it comes to getting your daily dose of fashion inspiration, go to the gram. Bollywood celebrities aside, there are plenty of international fashion accounts you can follow—Scott Schuman led ‘The Sartorialist‘, Instagram’s Eva Chen and Man Repeller’s Leandra Medine Cohen, to name a few.
