The #HauteSquad is perpetually broke. No, really. While we’re scouring the net looking out for pieces for you to flaunt, we indulge ourselves a lot too — we are but mere mortals. Each member in the team is obsessed with fashion, and not a day goes by when we’re not dressed all stylish and sassy. So we decided to give you a sneak peek into our closets and show you what each of our favourite items of clothing are. Needless to say, we had a blast shooting this.
ZARA Reversible Bomber Jacket
“Bomber jackets are all the rage this fall, and my go-to is this delightful little piece from Zara that I could literally live in. What I love is that this lightweight reversible jacket is two pieces for the price of one. On one side it’s plain black and has a beautiful flamingo emblazoned on the back, while the other site is a satin-y olive hue with sporty black and white trimming — perfect for both work and play. I mean, who doesn’t love a double-duty wardrobe essential?”

COS Skirt and H&M Top
“I bought this A-line high-waisted skirt from COS in Stockholm two years (and it still fits, yay!). Apart from the colour — a lovely, rich purple — I love that this skirt has pockets! I mean, who doesn’t love clothes with pockets? It sits pretty on the narrowest part of my waist, accentuating my #DesiGirl curves. But even more than the skirt, I love this black basic top from H&M. I picked it up in Dubai a few months ago and it goes with absolutely EVERYTHING! Not only does it fit perfectly, it also hides my problem area — my upper arms. I wish I picked up more of the same one — at the rate at which I wash and wear it, I’m afraid it will be in tatters soon!”

ONLY Little Black Dress
“My style might be boring for some, but I seek comfort and that is exactly what this dress from ONLY is for me — stylish comfort. I can wear it to work, parties, brunches, or even funerals — the LBD is a gift to womankind. My go-to outfit whether I’m in the mood to dress up or not! Plus, it is a sure-shot formula to look great, you just can’t go wrong!”

Max Waterfall Jacket
“Trust me when I say this, but the easiest way to look chic and put-together is a good jacket! I love how my military green jacket channels this season’s au courant shade while providing a smart silhouette. Get the look with this sexy jacket that you’ll want to rock, come winter!”
— Farozan Dossani, Social Media Editor

Zara Off-Shoulder Top
“If there’s one item of clothing I never (ever) forget to pack in my travel bag, it’s this gorgeous summery Zara top! I absolutely love the print and it’s the perfect addition to any look for an insta-worthy #OOTD!”
— Snehal Fernandes, Head of Video Content

KOOVS Front Split Maxi Top
“My current wardrobe obsession has got to be a split-front tunic maxi top I bought from KOOVS. It’s been my recent impulse purchase and I can’t seem to get enough of it. To be entirely honest, I love wearing whites — it’s minimalist, clean, and, just like the LBD, you can dress it the way you want. So I can literally style this maxi top to work either casual or dressy. It’s also an added bonus that the flowy silhouette makes me feel like Superwoman!”
— Tatiana Dias, Fashion & Beauty Writer

Mango Bohemian Jacket
“I am currently obsessed with this Bohemian jacket that I picked up from Mango. The geometric embroidery adds the perfect dash of jazz to any basic outfit. Oh yes, the bold print does bring me a lot of attention, in which I happily bask! In fact, there have been times when random strangers have asked me where I bought it from! That’s called being in the spotlight for all the right reasons!”
— Meghana Choraria, Social Media Executive

H&M Slip Dress and Vero Moda White Blouse
“A girl can never go wrong with monochrome and whenever I’m, in doubt, I always find myself reaching out for my trusty LBD. My favourite is a slip dress from H&M that’s very fashionable at the moment, and since I wanted the ensemble to look office-appropriate, I paired it with a white blouse from Vero Moda.”
