| 1) My height is 5 ft 6 inches and I weigh about 80 kgs. How do you think that I could look slimmer and taller? |
| Slim Leg Low Waist trousers B 90, B60 and T20 fits from BLACKBERRYS and fine striped shirts are ideal for summers. Nothing better than a dark tone Slim Fit suit for you! Wear same tones for top and bottom garment. |

| 2) I am 25 years old. I am usually in my pair of jeans. It becomes a problem for me deciding on what to wear at family weddings without looking boring. Please advice the kind of dressing that will make me look cool in such occasions. |
Surprise yourself and others by dressing up. You might not relate with that look initially but the hoards of compliments shall make up for it. If the suited look is too drastic for you then you could try dark tone Jackets and trousers. Wrap a abstract print scarf to create your own style statement.
Your case is much like Zayed Khan’s character in ‘Main Hoon Na’, you like the long haired rock start, but believe me girls like him post the make- over. In occasions like weddings, romance is in the air. Subconsciously most singles looking out for possible mate, this makes it all the more important for you to dress up. |

| 3) What looks smarter on men? Indian outfit or western outfits for wedding parties? |
| In this age of Global culture, Indian outfits are much like costumes, you always look overdressed. Indian fashion wares do look majestic but cannot be worn over and over again as they make a very distinct mark. Dinner jackets or tuxedos do the same magic and do not go out of fashion. With different shirts and accessories always provide a fresh look. |

Trousers in darker colors of black, navy that are of wrinkle free blends are easier to maintain. Smart ties in solids, stripes and checks will add on to your personality. Black and brown shoes and belts are a must. These are a few tips to start with and you will find your own combinations. |

| 5) I work for a multinational. We are expected to wear suits/ jackets through out the year. What sort of suits should I wear during summer month? |
All offices are air-conditioned. So, if you are not out in field job any light suit will do.
Also, linen suits worn appropriately with cotton shirts and subtle ties look really good in summers. |

| 6) Can you wear striped shirts with striped trousers or is it too much? |
| Ever seen those Retro prisoner’s uniforms! Bold stripes top to bottom is a blunder. Only if the shirt is in colored stripes then the closest that the trouser can have is self stripes (which are barely visible). The stripe width for tops should be broader than the trousers. Only very fine stripes for trousers and suits! |

| 7) I am always confused when choosing the right attire for a party. But my friends seem to know exactly what to wear. Please give me a few tips. |
Trust the experts. Most good designers or brands group their merchandise as per occasions. So you will find separate sections for evening or party wear.
And a good store manager should be able to advise you on what to wear. It is like going to an exotic restaurant where we trust the waiter to suggest us some options. |

| 9) Formal dressing can get very stifling. What sort of combination will make a person look smart but not stiff? |
Khakis with casual shirts would make a good look. Lively tones are good for shirts and earthy shades for Khakis. Stripes or checks for shirts and trousers should be primarily solid. |

| 10) Is it necessary to wear ties with jackets? |
It depends on the occasion that calls for a jacket and tie combination. If it is for office wear, I suggest that you stick to being traditional(with Tie). But if it is for evening wear then you can experiment and make your own statement.
You can add your own personal touches to ready to wear clothing. You can wear jackets without a tie by combining it with a high 2 button collared shirt of the same family you can also add a silk scarf for a more fashionable look. |
