Shriya also shared the inputs regarding the trousseau, and styles and silhouettes that are huge this season.
Here are excerpts from the interview:
3 wardrobe essentials that every girl must have.
A pair of classic denim pants, a jacketand a basic T-shirt
Which are the colours that are raging super big this festive season?
My pick would be the Aurora Red
People, unfortunately, do not have the luxury of time off late, in this case, how can one put together a last-minute look?
By mixing the styles and experimenting. Looking at a wardrobe full of clothes and yet having nothing to wear is a dilemma we all go through. The best scenario here would be to put together styles to create an entirely new outfit - saves you time + money.
Styles and silhouettes that are huge this season (eg: bell sleeves, etc?)
Ruffles and textures
For someone who isn't purely desi, what should those guys opt for?
Rather than being a fashion victim and conforming to trends, one should opt for silhouette neutrality based on confidence and attitude
The wedding season is just around the corner, so what are the hues that every bride must opt for?
An onion pink and periwinkle blue from the Shriya Som signature color story
Destination weddings are the new in thing, so what should one carry to for the wedding without paying excess baggage?
Less footwear, definitely. It's the one thing that won't attract attention because it won't be visible anyway so there's no compromise on your look
If you were attending your best friends wedding what would you wear for the haldi ceremony, sangeet and wedding?
For the haldi, it would be a minimal ruffled lehenga in a pastel color because it's light & easy. For the Sangeet, my pick would be a heavily embellished lehenga topped with a fur cape. And for the wedding, I would pick a chiffon tie-up blouse and a floral embellished lehenga. It's modern, yet dramatic.
One major no-no that a bride must never do on her big day?
Excessive makeup! Less is always more.
One trend which is way too passe?
A matchy bride ie. lipstick being red outfit being red and red nails. It's way too overdone.
