Here are some all-time style hacks that you want to know about.

Salman Khan: Ripped Jeans
You’re mistaken if you think wearing ripped jeans is a new trend. Remember the song Oh Oh Jane Jana…? Salman stole everyone’s heart with his shirtless and ripped jeans style. Salman has been working on the trend since the 90s. Here’s the thing about torn jeans: You won’t just differentiate yourself, you’ll also become the center of attraction.

Dimple Kapadia: Swimsuit
Booby’s iconic front-tying, midriff-baring top with polka dots that she pulled on for one scene was a turning point of Indian fashion. This trend will make you feel entirely different and gives the wearer the confidence of being all dolled up.

Madhuri Dixit: Backless Blouse
 When Rajshri productions starred the evergreen Madhuri Dixit in ‘Hum Aapke Hain Koun,’ she gave an impeccable style to the fashion industry with her backless blouse. This style soon becomes a trend, and everyone starts flaunting it. The film completed more than two successful decades & still, the iconic blouse style is on-trend. So wear a backless blouse and give yourself a complete 90’s Bollywood glam look, stating your type.

 Bhagyashree Patwardhan: Blue Skirt
 ‘Maine Pyar Kiya’ was a movie that set specific notable trends. If you remember, Bhagyashree’s blue skirt and a top with polka dots on it were a hit with young girls at that time. Salam khan’s leather jackets were also in demand after the release of the film. They even commissioned similar outfits with the initials of their name inscribed on them. College campuses at that time started resembling the sets of ‘Maine Pyar Kiya.’ 
The hits are hits; This style still works very well for going to college or hanging out with friends. 

Kareena Kapoor: T-shirts with Patiala Salwar Pants
Wearing T-shirts with Patiala pants is the perfect blend of comfort and style. No one has ever made this look as cool as Kareena Kapoor did in ‘Jab We Met.’ For the longest time, many girls tried to embrace this combo as their fashion mantra. It’s the combo of comfort and confidence. No matter where you may be, dressing, after all, is a way to care for yourself. 

Deepika Padukone: Color-blocking
Who doesn’t remember the ultra-glam of Veronica from the movie ‘Cocktail’ & its Daaru Desi’s song? Deepika perfectly encapsulates color-blocking in the song: brown shorts, olive green shirt, and the contrasting pink top and green hot pants. But Deepika doesn’t only win at that movie. She also emerges with outfits you’ve only dreamed of wearing contrasting blocks.

Vidhya Balan: Red Saree
Vidhya wears that red saree in Kasto Mazza He Relaima with a blouse covered in frills, and this time her style also makes her acting and fashion style stand out. 
This look gives us major inspiration for the Durga Puja look. Wearing a red saree with a full-sleeved blouse or one with frills provides us with a feel of traveling back to the 60s.

Sridevi: Chiffon Saree
Sridevi will always be a fashion icon. How can we forget her stunning chiffon saree in the song  Mere Haathon Mein when she changes the definition of saree in dance. She certainly inspired many women across the country. 

When we look deep into that look, the chiffon saree with a white ensemble complete with rose petals offers a glimpse into a style that every woman envies. Still wearing chiffon sarees can make you look all styled and different for the event you are going to.

Rani Mukerji: Bright Colors
Don’t be afraid to wear bright clothes, is what Rani Mukerji from ‘Bunty Aur Babli’ told us. She proves that wearing bright colors is no fault; the way she wears shimmery Patiala suits, with multi-colored thigh-length and collared Kurtas. In her one look, she even guides fashionistas to not be afraid of wearing polka-dotted Patiala Salwar with blue hoops paired with a bead ring to match and completing the look with a wrist-full of cool bangles look. But, of course, there is nothing wrong with wearing all bright. Often, it’s the best way to show your mood.
