Ananya’s look

Ananya Panday’s preppy outfit is full of demure glam. She donned a deep red long-sleeved, oversized sweater, exuding a laid-back, casual vibe. Underneath, she wore a collared shirt with horizontal white-blue stripes. The collars were crisp and peeked out of the sweater. The short, beige skirt had pleats. The neat structure of the skirt added a sense of both balance and contrast to the baggy sweater.

For footwear, she chose chunky black loafers, paired them with black soaks. Her hair was in a sleek, half-up, half-down. The overall minimal and clean look of her ensemble had a touch of effortless sophistication. The understated glam is prominent with the natural makeup and lack of accessories. It’s an excellent modest, yet glam sartorial inspiration, nailing the preppy style aesthetic to the tee.
