It's important that you remember to pick a shade that suits your skin, and personality. "Aditi has a really fresh look, so we didn't want a heavy blouse on her," explains Pankaj from the designer duo. And so, they opted for an unembellished nude nougat shade for their one-sleeved or­ganza top, paired wi­th a skirt embellished with metallic cut work in gold with a rose tint, a combination that works well for this style. "Puff sleeves add drama to the outfit and ours was inspired by the Elizabethan style. A top like this could be embellished or plain, depending on where you're wearing it. Also, organza is apt if you want dramatic sleeves as it's voluminous and stays in shape, looking better than a regular fitted sleeve," he adds.

Suit up

Giving the classic black suit a spin, Bebo's take on the one-sleeved trend is suitable for both, work and leisure. The sle­e­veless aspect adds an edge to the outfit, especially when combined with double pockets. It's apt for all body types — make sure your arms are toned. Those on the heavier side should avoid this option in bright colours. Skip floral prints. They lend a feminine touch, which takes away from the impact of the outfit.
