Style anatomy: With Daneese Ali
The super-stylish fashionista breaks down her style. Find out all her style secrets and learn the do’s and don’ts in her fashion rulebook
Understanding your body is the key to looking good and a trait found amongst all impeccably dressed fashionistas. While people shy away from talking about their bodies, these brave souls explain how they work their anatomies to their advantage
How would you describe your body type?
I’m tall, slim and slender. I have a straight figure, and I’m glad. I’m not one of those girls who like curvy or voluptuous figures anyway!
Has your body type changed over the last five years?
I wanted to get rid of my baby fat so I became proactive about going to the gym and dieting. But the one thing I never gave up on was sweets. It’s a necessity in one’s life!
How has your style changed over the years?
I don’t really think my style has changed because I’ve always kept it classy and simple, and I think that never goes out of fashion. At most, I experiment with whatever’s trending but if it doesn’t suit me then it’s a big no! Fashion for me is what you feel comfortable in.
In your opinion what is your most troublesome area?
I’m happy with the way my figure is but I can be self-conscious about my calves. They are chunky compared to the rest of my body.
How do you dress your body according to your body type?
Since I’m slim and slender, I like to add curves to my frame with peplum style dresses and tops. I’m obsessed with bootleg jeans and trousers because they are great for slender women as they add shape and dimension. I also feel skinny jeans look fabulous on me. To be honest, I feel I can carry off most styles because I don’t have a full figure and hence I won’t end up looking vulgar. A long top or sweater with culottes or skinny jeans is my everyday casual look.
In your opinion what is the biggest mistake a person can make while dressing here?
The biggest mistake women make is showing too much skin. I strongly believe that showing too much skin doesn’t make you look sexy! Also, don’t hide in the folds of your baggy outfit and don’t try to squeeze yourself into something just for the sake of being able to say ‘I’m a size so-and-so’. Thirdly, playing up your outfit with a couple of carefully chosen pieces of jewellery is a definite do. I really admire women who have the talent to mix and match and can pull off a new trend. Overdoing it however, is one of the worst fashion mistakes out there and probably something you want to avoid. Lastly, women here don’t dress according to their age. They dress more maturely and it makes them look much older. You have your whole life ahead of you to dress maturely; don’t take away your youth and innocence already!
Which silhouettes suit your body the most?
I don’t wear a specific style of silhouette that suits my body because no matter what I wear, I make it my own. Also, I’m lucky because I have a petite frame and I can easily fit in all sorts of ensembles.
What is the one piece of clothing that you shy away from wearing and why?
What I have and always will avoid is low necklines. I feel it is very inappropriate and vulgar to show your cleavage. I don’t think I’ll ever be comfortable with that.

Let Almirah be your shopping haven for Eid
There's something for everyone in Almirah's latest collections
Eid shopping is undoubtedly one of the highlights of Ramazan. It's a welcome distraction from our hunger pangs and who can ever say no to some good retail therapy?
But the hassle of going to different shops to pick up joras for various Eid events can spoil the experience.
Luckily, Almirah can be our one-stop shop solution for all our Eid sartorial needs.
Here's a sneak-peek at what they have to offer for Eid.
For welcoming morning guests
Not only is the palette of the Hopscotch collection bright and fun, but the joras stand out due to attention to detail, like the cute little shalwar pattis and fringes on the kameez.
For lunch with your friends
We're digging the colourful lozenges splattered on this ensemble from the Rangoon collection — it's such a welcome departure from typical floral prints! So quirky, your gal pals will love it!
For house visits
You're running all over the city and the weather isn't going to be pleasant. The Vintage To A Tea collection features pretty prints on light, breathable fabrics, just what we need when we're making our rounds to the rishtedaar.
For a dinner out with family
This mossy green tunic from the Theodora collection has just the right touch of formality for a night out.
For the big dawat at home
The Davinci collection has oomph but isn't ostentatious — just the right look for dinner party hosts!
For the early wedding festivities
Everyone knows shaadi season is approaching and chances are you'll be invited to a dholki this Eid! The traditional festive wear in the Rang Mahal collection will be perfect for those occasions!
Without being loaded with embroidery, this angarkha from the Rang Mahal collection attracts attention with its interesting play of colours. We're sure this will get you a second glance of admiration!
