By Kriti Kharbanda, widely recognized for her acting, has also emerged as a fashion icon. Known for her effortless style and versatility, Kriti believes that comfort is the cornerstone of fashion, proving that stylish looks can also be comfortable.
Comfort as the Core of Fashion
Kriti shares her fashion philosophy:
“I have always prioritized comfort first. But I’ve realized that comfort can also be fashionable and empowering.”
She emphasizes the importance of fit and experimentation, stating that comfort does not have to be boring. According to Kriti, choosing pieces that allow freedom of movement and self-expression is what truly makes fashion liberating.
Experimentation and Personal Style
Kriti continues:
“I like to try new trends, but only if they feel authentic. I won’t wear everything on the red carpet, but I experiment at home. If it resonates with me and reflects my personality, it’s what I share with the world.”
Her approach focuses on authenticity, avoiding the pressure to conform or fit in with trends.
Impact of Social Media on Fashion Choices
When asked about social media’s influence, Kriti explains:
“Social media has a huge impact on how people dress today. It can be a great tool for discovering trends, but it can also be misused for trolling or hiding behind fake personas.”
She appreciates how social platforms empower homegrown brands and provide opportunities for creative individuals, regardless of financial constraints. Social media, according to Kriti, has become a democratizing platform for talent and fashion expression.
Fashion Exposure for the Current Generation
Kriti reflects on how exposure to fashion has evolved:
“This generation has unparalleled access to fashion trends in real-time. Unlike my teenage years, when trends were limited to monthly magazines, young people today can instantly explore styles worldwide and develop their unique fashion language.”
She highlights that the USPs of today’s fashion-savvy youth are their access, awareness, and the ability to use exposure creatively.
