Karisma Kapoor has a certain penchant for wardrobe basics, that she plays around with and styles effortlessly. Her off-duty style is worth taking style cues from—think cropped shirts, quirky prints, striking colours and classic staples. The actor who posts about her quarantine routine and at-home OOTDs often on her Instagram, recently took to her page to post a picture of her lounging in her wooden-floored balcony in her Bandra residence. And the Mentalhood star’s outfit was one for the books. She teamed a plain, white t-shirt with a pair of plaid pants and accentuated her outfit with not-so-basic hoops!

Karisma Kapoor serves a lesson on how to elevate at-home outfits:

The actor’s fuss-free look was a testament to the magic that prints and hoops have that up the ante of a basic outfit, instantly. Her choice of teaming a plain, white t-shirt with pyjamas featuring the classic plaid print was quite stylish. Classic prints have the ability to add some sartorial excitement to basic outfits and Karisma’s look is proof. The actor did not just stop there. To add some more oomph to her outfit, she opted for square-shaped, silver hoops that accentuated her look, furthermore. Hoops are a fail-safe choice of accessories that can make you look good and feel good. Agree, noh?

As we continue to spend a major chunk of our time at home, sometimes a little bit of makeup can do the trick in uplifting our moods. The actor, while relaxing in her balcony in her tasteful, not-so-basic outfit, coloured her lips red, added some kohl for a little drama and left her lustrous locks open.

Karisma’s cropped top + printed pants combo has definitely inspired me to play around with basic wardrobe staples at home. What about you? What do you think of her look? Tell me in the comments below!
