Sew beads and baubles to a plain shirt or tank to give it a personalised touch. Bits of lace, zari borders and sequins can be stitched onto hems, button openings and sleeves to make a 'limited edition' piece. Bohemian chic rules!

Cool Tip: Want to dress in Grecian flair like the stars? Take an old georgette/ rayon sari from mum to the local tailor, armed with a photo of the coveted style. The effect may not exactly be ramp quality, but will get you close while keeping well within your allowance.

If all else fails, and especially on those days that you just can't get your 'style icon' avatar to start up, stock up on bright and pretty shirts and Polo tees.

Playful stripes, checks and prints are sure to liven up any day of the week.
