Whether you’re going on vacation or on a coffee date, adopt the pink state of mind à la actor Shanaya Kapoor. A light pink puffed sleeve mini dress is effortless, while looking stylish.

STYLE IT RIGHT

• Opt for a solid-hued dress or top with puffed sleeves. Avoid tops with prints -or in colour-blocking styles.
• Pair a fitted puffed sleeve top with a pleated skirt for a soft feminine look.
• Tuck the top into your pants to let the sleeves do all the talking. For a puff-sleeved dress, cinch your waist with a belt.
