Mira Patel on What Style Means to Her

"Having style for me is having confidence. Having the guts to step out in the super crop top and sheer outfits. Coming from a Hindu family and a culture so embedded in the idea of measuring a woman's worth/dignity through how you choose to dress can be quite daunting to step out of the "sanskari chokri" (meaning a well-cultured girl). I used to have to wonder what people would think or say about me and my family if I wore something revealing, but now I am stepping out in what I feel comfortable in and accepting that not everyone has the same level of comfort as I do with certain styles. Style is living in the moment, embracing what you've got, and just being happy because that's when you stand out."
