When it comes to fashion, we have been spoon-fed that the idea of style is the pinnacle for personal beautification. We are expected to sacrifice comfort at the altar of chic, squeezing ourselves into uncomfortable outfits in the name of looking good. But let us be real. When did feeling yourself wrapped in straight jacket type clothes become a pinnacle of glamour? Why don't we rather prioritise feeling like being in a soft, cozy cloud rather than a rigid, pinching nightmare? It is time we put comfort where it belongs—at the top of the fashion hierarchy.
But the real kicker here is that comfort fuels confidence. Social media fashion icon, Prajakta Koli, known for her vibrant style, gets to the heart of the matter by emphasising that confidence starts with feeling good in what you are wearing. Prajakta says it best: 'I'm most confident when I am comfortable in what I am wearing.'
So how would you feel if you are constantly adjusting your outfit or flinching with every step? Lacking comfort in your outfit will strip you of grace and radiance, leading to a lack of confidence—the key element that truly turns heads. Highlighting all these elements, fashion influencer Prajakta Koli opened up about her early life experiences where she struggled with fashion, recalling how she felt pressured to always look glamorous and was unsure of how to wear outfits as expected. Reflecting her journey, she notes that looking back at her younger self, she feels she has reached a milestone that seems almost surreal.
Over the time and with maturity, Prajakta has shifted her focus away from concern that disturbs her external expectations and has instead prioritised comfort and confidence. She draws inspiration from the world around her, experimenting with ideas she picks up from others' style. Prajakta added that even her parent's college days photos influenced her own fashion choices.
Building on her impressive journey, influencer turned actor Prajakta Koli is gearing up to make wonders with her upcoming projects Mismatched 3 and Andhera. Along with her acting projects, she is also set to release her book, Too Good to Be True, which explores the balancing act of juggling life as an actor, writer and content creator. Additionally, she has embraced the opportunities and challenges that have come her way, using them as a platform to learn from her flaws and to represent India on global platforms.
So rethink your approach to fashion. Prioritise comfort and style will follow naturally. After all, when you feel like a million bucks, you will look like it too. On the other hand, the most impeccable runway looks cannot be compared to the power of genuine smiles. Alias, cheers to the future where fashion and comfort are no longer enemies, but allies for ultimate confidence that creates a revolution in which we all come together to not only look but also feel fabulous.
