Check out the looks that had our eyes popped out and also few off balance looks in our style barometer . A little fix here and a little fix there can make all the difference.
The outfit worn by Shilpa Shetty Kundra left us feeling overwhelmed. Too much happening in one ensemble.An off balance look.
Jacket dresses are flavour of the season, though to carry this kind of masculine piece can be tricky. Odd looking shoes and little chocker on the neck are surely downers in this look. Would prefer tan/grey pumps to let the lovely fire engine colour do the talking.

Lovely colour combination but the sash belt in the middle is completely unnecessary, it is not contributing anything to the whole look. Although a minor gripe, I would have prefer pumps to close high shoes.

Let’s check which celebrity has channelised her inner glamour and who has not fared so well on our STYLE BAROMETER. 🤩 or 🤔 and a quick fix for the failed looks can’t be far behind.
The monotone hybrid pant suit is giving “hey,something is missing” vibes. Add pulled back sleeves to this structured jacket and presto! the look is complete and balanced.
This burgundy double layered peplum is not only adding volume to the structure but also attracting undue attention . A single peplum with proportionate length would definitely notch up this otherwise striking anarkali.
Overdose of checkered print and matchy matchy accessories are making the look so dated.

The size and placement of the bow is clashing with the puffed over sized sleeves leading to an off balance gown. Bow seems to be an afterthought.

Let’s browse through this week’s style barometer. Who was on the top of their fashion game and who failed to inspire us. 🤩 or 🤔. Check out the quick fix solutions for the failed looks.
Roman styled sandals are not in sync with this, an other wise lovely peppy checkered summer dress. White ballerina shoes or silletoes would have worked better for this dress.
Accessories can make or break a look, here the broad choker is definitely a spoiler. A statement ring or a bracelet would have complimented the ensemble better.
With lots happening on neck and shoulder of this saree tuxedo, why complicate the look further with a broad neck piece, let those exquisite shoulders do the talking. The tiny black bindi is also out of sync.
Leather on leather look can be very tricky. With cropped pants the look is outdated and kind of not happening.

Check out the latest fashion trends of the celebrities who are the torch bearer of style and glamour in India.

Every fashion faux pas has a remedy, a quick fix. Here’s our list.
Definitely a mismatched look. The neon pink belt is not in sync with the silver grey tuxedo dress and white sneakers. A black broad belt could have notched up the outfit.
Excess of accessories has over shadowed the delicately embroidered lovely nude lehenga. With an over the top outfit ‘less is more’ is the best bet.
Add a little black belt to this vibrant, peppy outfit and the classy retro look is complete.

This week’s verdict is out, who is on the top of the fashion game and who has failed to impress. Let’s rejuvenate the look of celebrities who have failed to impress.
Well, so much is happening in a single outfit. Do away with the bow scarf which is hiding the much required belt and see the magic of lovely sunshine colour
The top/blouse is not doing justice to an otherwise lovely sequinned long skirt .Replace it with a button down grey/ivory shirt and see the magic.

The excess of ruffles on the blouse (should be on the neck line or on sleeves) have created an imbalance. The big chokker and ruffles are not in sync with each other

While most stars fare well on our style barometer with their choices, some fail to create an impact with their style.

We have complied a list of hits and misses

Here’s a quick look at what went wrong with their styling and a quick remedy from our side to rejuvenate the whole look.

Quick fix — A black scantily embellished jacket/jacketless look would have faired better for Shraddha Kapoor.

Too much of heavy print in a single frame. Need to incorporate a neutral shade, can be a trendy scarve, to elevate the dragged down look of Vidya Balan.

Kajol’s look failed to impress as the saree has an outdated feel to it.

Quick fix — The style of blouse could have been more playful ( cropped style) with shorter sleeves.

Deepika’s look is too colour coordinated.
