TV doesn't give you the liberty to experiment : Rakshanda Khan

Rakshanda Khan who will make a comeback with Ammaji Ki Galli as Parminder shares her gyaan on fashion. Fashion is: Fashion to me is comfort. I can’t let a fad or trends dictate what I wear or don’t wear. I can’t wear 6 inch heels and be uncomfortable all night just because it’s trendy. Who chooses your clothes? On a personal level I choose my own clothes. For a television show I like to sit with the stylist and choose a look. Sadly TV doesn’t give you the liberty to experiment a lot, so keeping the parameters in mind I like giving my inputs for every show of mine. It could even be anything as simple as a certain accessory that could become a style statement associated with my character. Do you wear accessories? Accessories are always add-ons to enhance a look, so I use them as and when they are required. Ideally I don’t like accessorising a look too much. It’s better to keep it simple and be understated than to bling it up to the extent where you end up looking like a Christmas tree. Do you follow any brands? Brands are good as long as they don’t start dictating to you. Why become a fashion victim and wear a brand that is not your style? Instead choose a brand because of the value they can add to your personality. Favourite shopping destination: Shopping is a great de-stressing activity and so should be indulged in frequently. I love the clothes and shoes available in New York and London. Leave me in a mall when it opens and pick me up only when its time for it to shut. Most expensive buy: My most expensive buy would include a few things because I believe in the adage that diamonds are a girl’s best friend. Clothes you are comfortable in: Jeans, jeans and more jeans, nothing in the world can beat their comfort level. Favourite designer: I have quite a few favourites - Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla for great and timeless Indian wear, Gavin Miguel and Swapnil Shinde for their gowns. I also like Gauri and Nayanika's style. Must-have in your wallet: Home keys and my credit cards. Favourite perfume: Anything that is sporty and not overly floral. I can’t stand strong smells essentially I prefer men’s colognes. Colour that fills your wardrobe: Like any sensible person who wants to hide all the not- so- flattering areas, a colour that dominates my wardrobe is black.
