She's a concoction of looks and style. Meet, Aishwarya Sakhuja, the Miss India finalist who's soon turning an anchor with Zoom's Cinema-Sensex. The leggy lass has walked the ramp for every popular label in India be it Neeta Lulla or Vikram Phadnis. As the model turned anchor gears up for her first innings in tellywood, we get her to talk about her style quotient during the monsoons. Know your body: Its utmost important to recognise your body type and choose your clothes. Your clothes can accentuate your curves and cuts the obvious looking fat or flat. The cuts and patterns should help you achieve the desired look. Spend a day with a decent designer; learn the trick and you won't pick up a wrong garment again. Try to wear sleeveless clothes: Rains make clothes stick to your body, so wear sleeveless or short sleeved tops. Compliment it with a knee length skirt or a capri pant. If you are into wearing salwar kameez then its best that you stick to chiffon and georgettes. Cottons and saris will be very uncomfortable as they do not dry faster. Keep your feet open; do not wear shoes or sneakers. Instead go for the latest floral and colourful plastic or rubber chapples that are available on the streets. Stay hygienic and smell good: Wash your hands and feet with an antiseptic soap if you commute by local transport. The grime in your toes may force you to get a frequent pedicure. The rain water has a particular smell due to pollution, it is important that you carry a perfume or a deodorant with you always. Wash your hair everyday and condition them thrice a week, one can also go for a short crop look. If you smell good and stay clean you can beat the icky, sticky monsoon feeling. Accessories and make up: Rains are the best time to get all the junk beads out. Load your feet with anklets and Kadas and you can add an armlet with your ganjee. Don't over do it or avoid it. Heavy make is a strict no; your liners and foundations will get washed away, spoiling the look. If you prefer smoky eyes then apply kajal. Rain generally keeps the face fresh looking and to add to the softness apply a lip balm. Use waterproof watches and eye glasses for sheer style.
