DIVYAK D’SOUZA, STYLIST

“This kurta is from Péro, by Aneeth Arora. Aneeth is one of my favourite Indian designers, primarily for her sustainable approach to making clothes that are wearable, versatile, and classic. I must confess that I’m a Péro sale addict. Every year, when Aneeth’s team comes to Mumbai for their annual sale, I am usually the first in line. When you’re shopping in the peak of summer, a breathable fabric in a fresh, sorbet colour like this makes for a good investment. And the gingham checks in hand-spun cotton, with clever detailing, further made it a must-buy for me. It is my daywear staple, and I usually wear it with a pair of light jeans or relaxed linen trousers, Birkenstock sandals or white Converse sneakers, and my trusty Casio digital watch... Easy, effective, and comfortable.”
