To put an end to ever uttering the phrase, “I have nothing to wear” we at BandraRoad are here to help you put together some cool, one minute, change-up-your-wardrobe styling tricks. Because sometimes you really only have a minute and in those moments, it helps to have a few, quick techniques to steer you straight through your style conundrum.

Layer Up With A Vest –

A vest is an easy way to transition from day to night. Just add a denim or leather version for a cool and casual look, over a dress or top.

Add a Pop of Colour with Accessories
