Denims are a definite fashion must-haves! But it has come a long way from being the traditional blue. And we’re not even talking about them taking one step up and being available in blacks and whites; denims today are available in absolutely radiant colours including mustard, green, orange, red and pink. And while these coloured denims are only getting popular by the day, there are a few dos and don’ts that need to be kept in mind so that you don’t end up looking like a circus tent. DNA gets model Karan Medappa to demonstrate the look…
Karan is been modelling for nearly three years now and has been part of several advertisement campaigns as well. “The theme for this week’s shoot is pretty cool as I wear quite a bit of coloured denims myself. I loved the styling by Shaggy and it suited the overall theme perfectly. Overall, I had a great time shooting for the column,” says Karan.
Accessorise me
Too many accessories would spoil the show, and Karan was already aware of that. So he decided to go simple. He picked up a pair of trendy shoes that went with the entire look and strapped on a leather belt to complete the ensemble.
Check that outfit
In order to keep the look casual and yet stylish, Karan went with a pair of dark green denims and paired it with a black tee shirt so that it doesn’t look too dressy. In fact, a black T-shirt is apt when you’re wearing coloured denims.
Contour my face
The only thing a casual look requires is a clean face. So, Shaggy first cleansed his face to remove excess oil. He then used a concealer and followed it up with a foundation. After that, he contoured Karan’s face in order to highlight his features.
Style that hair
The theme requires a funky hairdo and that’s exactly what Shaggy gave the model. To start with, he ironed Karan’s hair and followed it up with spikes. And to set the look, he used hair spray and gel to make sure the style lasted the whole evening.
