Shibani Dandekar’s Closet Is A Paradise For Print Lovers Of All Kinds
Style is subject to change from closet to closet and especially for the ones owning it. With a world population of close to 775.28 crores, we can definitely expect the same amount of styles, floating on this planet. This is exactly why every human has a distinct sartorial taste. Ruled by moods, aesthetics and personalities, picking a print can also be a hassle for many. But in the case of Bollywood’s favourite celebrities, there is a mix of every kind, that serves the purpose of every type of dresser. And while I am obsessed with each of their closet collectables, multi-hyphenate Shibani Dandekar’s wardrobe is a paradise for print lovers like myself. A territory that many seem to run away from, prints can be a great element in your everyday outfit to channel your current moods and offer a slice of your persona. So, for anyone who now feels motivated to give prints a try, check out our list of favourite patterns from Mrs Akhtar’s wardrobe, that might work best for your style aesthetic.
Beloved Bohemian
Unconventional, and artistic, Shibani’s wardrobe is primarily ruled by this particular aesthetic. Wanderers at heart, these dressers present a penchant for rustic shades, intertwined with crochet patches, decorated hemlines, symmetric Aztec, powerful paisley, florals, and ikat amongst others. And keeping a mix of these designs, Shibani’s dedicated wardrobe for this aesthetic is often refilled by her favourite designer friend Payal Singhal’s designs.

Is This Too Much?
For every friend who pesters you with this patent question of ‘is this too much?’ Please head to Shibani’s style files to help you tone down every outfit and soothe your minimalist soul. While Shibani stays away from any form of sorbet-hued, ditsy designs, some of her daytime picks include a mix of dainty flowers, imprinted on fail-proof, subtle shades.

We Want More
A minimalist’s worst nightmare, maximalists are loyal experimenters. From trying out the weirdest combinations to diving into the trendiest silhouettes, maximalists make their print shopping an affair worth their time. Bold and bright is a go-to, with appliqués, busy, digital and dramatic prints always topping their wish list. And helping her fellow maximalists, Shibani’s collection of contrasting combinations and powerful patterns lead the troop here.

Classic Kind
Amongst the list of all kinds of dressers, who often find the strength to shuffle through some hot trends, classic lovers seem happy to cook the same old recipe, over and over again. From plaid and checkered to monochromes, these dressers say a yes to only fail-proof designs and stay evergreen. Taking cues from Shibani’s personal style, dressers from this category can easily find comfort in their daal chawal worth ginghams and old-school geometric lines.

Too Lazy To Dress
There is a lazy dresser in all of us, and it needs that one awful day to channel it. It is when I hope to enter a Barbie dress up game and have someone style me up, as I chill in silence. And taking inspiration from Shibani’s fuss-free, breezy options of prints, one can opt for statement jumpers, jackets or the season-fluid tie-dyes to get ready in literally half a minute. With zero effort required, these pairings as seen on Shibani, are easily achievable with denim jeans and in silhouettes like a no-brainer, tank top.

I am On A Holiday
Vacation wear is often ruled by the destination and culture you travel to. From Roman, and Parisian to British mod, travellers often pack according to the climate they are hoping to serve. But for many a safe pick of tropical summer, makes up for a staple mention. And for those who are soon taking a flight to their next location, these floral sundresses and jungle-themed sets serve best for holiday statement-making.
