5. Don’t Neglect Your Hair!

Never underestimate the power of a strong hair game! After all, open hair doesn’t suit all face types. Tie ‘em up in a messy bun for a chic look, or leave them wavy for boho feels, try a high ponytail to add volume to your slick-straight hair, or opt for a half-tie just like Kriti for a fresh look.

Don’t restrict belts to ‘something you use to hold your loose pants together.’ Cinch that waist with a chunky one. It not only makes you look more shapely but is also an easy fashion add-on. Belt your boxy tops for a balloon effect or your dresses to exaggerate the hem.
