“We are wearing gothic plaid outfits created by myself. I wanted to look like a gothic Victorian queen ready for anything. Currently my style is inspired by 90s punk, 5th Element (the movie), and most anime. I like to look like I am ready for war or a fashion show.”
“I am inspired by myself. I love to wear color and express my style with my socks.”

Not all of us have a keen eye for fashion. Some of us might truly believe that neon orange and hot pink are a match made in heaven (and hey, if that’s your vibe—go for it!). But every now and then, you accidentally pair two pieces together, and boom, you’ve got an unexpectedly stylish look

To understand why certain fashion risks work, we spoke with Sakshi Agarwal, who studied Luxury Brand Management at Regent’s University London. With her experience in fashion and styling, she gave us insight into how unconventional combinations can end up being surprisingly fashion-forward. Whether it’s colors, patterns, or accessories, there are plenty of ways to make a bold look feel intentional and chic.

She began by saying, “While we learn color theory as fashion students, some shades naturally complement each other. For instance, red always works beautifully with deeper tones like navy, emerald green, or even a soft pink—it’s all about balance and contrast.” The key is to experiment but also understand why certain colors create visual harmony.

“The same goes for patterns,” she added. “Stripes and florals? They can look amazing together when done right. Polka dots and animal prints? Surprisingly chic if balanced with neutral elements.” Mixing prints is tricky, but when paired thoughtfully, it can elevate an outfit from basic to runway-ready.

When it comes to accessories, gold and silver aren’t the only players in the game. “Gold generally complements warm tones like reds and browns, while silver pairs beautifully with cool-toned outfits,” Sakshi explained. But fashion is flexible, and combining metallics can actually add depth and personality to an outfit when styled with confidence.

“Now, a lot of this information is easily available online,” she pointed out. “People can experiment more than ever before—whether through Instagram trends, Pinterest boards, or TikTok style hacks.” The digital age has made it easier for anyone to step out of their comfort zone and try daring fashion trends they might have never considered before.

She pointed out, "Fashion designers experiment all the time, pushing the boundaries of what’s considered stylish." Runways are filled with daring looks that, at first, might seem bizarre but later define new trends. Some of the most iconic fashion moments in history started as risks that paid off in ways no one expected.

While controversial, it was a bold artistic statement that blurred the line between fantasy, fashion, and craftsmanship.
