Right side of fashion: Dos and don'ts of every trend

GladiatorsSince they are not your run-of-the mill shoes, styling is the key here. Actor Sonakshi Sinha’s (right) gladiator ­sandals ride much above her knees, and seem to be ­imprisoning her legs rather than embracing her pins! The sudden knee clasp looks more like a brace, and mostly like a big eyesore. It also seems out of place with the casual shirt dress. On the other hand, singer Rita Ora (left), in her lacey gladiators, brings in the needed edge, and looks the right amount of dramatic with her black and gold ensemble.

Crop TopCrop tops that shows off just a sliver of skin are must-haves. But actor Parineeti Chopra (right) falters with the sleeves, the snug fit and the unflattering boat neck that makes her look top-heavy. On the other hand, TV star Jessica Wright (left) looks poised in a similar ensemble, thanks to the styling and balanced fit.

Shirt dressYes, it’s called a shirt dress. But, to be fair, we also wear boyfriend jeans, not withstanding our relationship status! So, taking the shirt dress concept too literally can make you end up looking just plain sloppy. Seems like actor Vanessa Hudgens (right) simply forgot to put on her pants, while actor-singer Leighton Meester (left) aced the look by cinching her shirt dress with a belt and off-setting the look with an oversized handbag.

CapeletsPicking capelets blindly might make you look like you are in a Shakespearean costume. Actor Sushmita Sen (right) was clearly missing her stylist when she wore her version. But model Natasha Ramachandran (left), in a Nikhil Thampi creation, shows us how to ace the look.
