It doesn’t matter how many clothes you have, the trends you follow and stylish images you’ve saved on your mood board on Pinterest—an all-black outfit is most often everyone’s go-to, including Deepika Padukone‘s stylist, Shaleena Nathani! Black is a versatile and timeless shade—woke up late and have to rush to work? Wear black! Can’t find a great look for GNO? Just choose an all-black outfit! Feel like you’ve gained 10 kgs ‘coz you’re on your period? Find your go-to all-black OOTD.

And like every fashion girl, the colour black, while being the easiest to pair things with, can also be the toughest to make into a statement look. However, we’ve got Shaleena—who’s favourite colour seems to be black and here are 7 ways she makes her outfit stand out by playing around with textures, silhouettes, and accessories!
