Captain Marvel cool We are loving Brie Larsonu2019s resistance- supporting simple T- shirt. It is a tasteful way of wearing this style. u201c Make sure you donu2019t mix too many colours u2014 a dark shade and a light one work. The font should be easy to read and in upper case. Politically- inclined messages shouldnu2019t be in cursive font u2014 that takes away from the point,u201d says Sahni.

A pair of dark shades completes the look. Give it a formal touch by adding a matching blazer ( same shade as your pants).

Jazz it up Who said formals and T- shirts canu2019t work well together? Make the best of both worlds by following Amy Willertonu2019s fashion footsteps. For an evening out, pair a patterned, monochrome, bright co- ord set, with a tee in a lighter shade with text on it. If you donu2019t want to make a political statement, wear your favourite quote, like Willerton has with Amanda Seyfriedu2019s iconic Mean Girls dialogue. You can opt for bling, too.

And instead of simply choosing a stunning outfit like many of her peers, actress Natalie Portman decided to make a statement in a different way u2014 she wore a cape embroidered with names of women filmmakers as a way to call out the Academy for nominating only men in the best director category yet another year. This included Lorene Scafaria ( Hustlers), Lulu Wang ( The Farewell) and Greta Gerwig ( Little Women), among others. A subtle, slick and tasteful way to go about it, opines stylist Isha Sahni.

u201c A long shrug in a deep shade looks royal. Subtlety is key when it comes to wearing text in a formal setting,u201d she explains.

Closer home, Prime Minister Narendra Modi flaunted the style back in 2015 u2014 with a blazer that had his own name written all over it. A strict nono, says Sahni. u201c Itu2019s narcissistic and the font is too small.u201d style guide Speyside tipples Style speak
