Many of us know how to wear good clothes and the right jewellery and use flattering make-up.

But that first step out the door with a slouchy posture, with your tummy sticking out, kills the otherwise well-groomed effect.

According to grooming and image consultant Chhaya Momaya, women in corporate India largely know what it takes to be well-turned out. Hence, she focuses on finetuning their skills.

Women, says Chhaya, are the epitome of sensuality. They can speak subtly with their eyes and gestures.

Smart women use body language to accentuate their best features and show off their personality. But the most important and often overlooked aspect of body language is the way one carries oneself.

Chhaya Momaya is a grooming and image consultant, with over 10 years of experience in the industry. She has worked with corporates, industrialists, models, actors, airline crew, beauty pageant contestants and pop stars as well as homemakers and brides-to-be.
