Here are some common dos and don’ts you need to keep in mind while wearing one:</p>.<ul> <li>Always try to balance out the baggy nature of the shirt by pairing it with well-fitted jeans, nicely cut culottes, tights (wear leggings only with long shirts) or short shorts.</li> <li>For a flirty casual look, team your shirt with cut-off denim shorts or wear high-rise cuts if you’re going retro.</li> <li>And as a rule, NEVER combine a boyfriend shirt with boyfriend jeans unless you want to look like you walked straight out of bed in your jammies.</li></ul>.<p><strong>I am planning to explore the club scene in the city.

But I am scared of buying a pair as I don’t want to look funny and out of place. How should I style dungarees, and on which occasions should I ideally wear them?</strong> <em>— Deepti K</em></p>.<p>As you know, dungarees are worn as casual wear and can be paired with white t-shirts and cool sneakers or crop tops. It can be worn for a holiday with friends, shopping, and is an ideal campus wear. If you feel uncomfortable in body-fitted dungarees, go for bell-bottomed ones. Avoid wearing it to formal gatherings. You can also pair it up with a crop top.</p>.<p><strong>Is leather a good fabric for the skin. Black leather pants look so good. What are the things to be kept in mind while buying one? </strong><em>— Tess Joss</em></p>.<p>Yes, leather is a good fabric for skin but it also depends on your skin type and the weather condition. You shouldn’t wear leather in warm and humid climate. Here are a few things you need to keep in mind while buying a pair of leather pants:</p>.<ul> <li>The material and fit are the most important things to consider.</li> <li>Leather is stretchable, so buy a snug fit. However, don’t go down a size.</li> <li>The finish and stitch are important.</li> <li>The cut is crucial, as it creates an illusion about the body. Straight-leg leather pants are great for elongating your body, making you look slimmer.</li></ul>
