With zany sensibilities and a perpetual willingness to experiment, we couldn't think of anyone better. So NDTV Swirlster had a chat with Taapsee Pannu on her fashion choices and how spectacles can be a statement-making fashion accessory.
NDTV Swirlster: Glasses have always been thought of for utility so do you believe they can lend style to a look too?
Taapsee Pannu: Of course they can. Eyewear definitely adds an edge to the entire style statement because it's on your face and that's the first thing someone will notice. It is an introduction for defining someone's own individual style.

So whether you are an actor or not, I think it's really nice to know what you feel the best in and what reflects your personality in the best way.

NDTV Swirlster: What is Taapsee's tip on how to style spectacles with an outfit?

NDTV Swirlster: What are your go-to fashion choices?
Taapsee Pannu: I have definitely developed a fondness for cotton outfits, basic flowly skirts, contrast tops with shorts, sarees. Layering of an outfit also attracts me especially with sarees, and I like styling them with the right eyewear all the time.
