Editorial Policy

How our style edits and guides are made, and the standards we hold them to. Last updated: July 11, 2026.

What StyleSnoop publishes

StyleSnoop publishes two kinds of content: Style Edits — outfit-by-outfit breakdowns of looks we love, explaining why each one works and how to wear it — and Style Guides — longer practical articles on styling formulas, buying decisions, colour pairings, and garment care, written for shoppers in India.

Everything we publish is editorial styling opinion and practical guidance. We are not a product-testing lab, we don't sell clothing, and we don't publish sponsored content.

How a piece gets made

• Selection. We choose each look and each guide topic ourselves, based on what we find genuinely wearable and useful — never because a brand asked or paid.
• Research and drafting. Our write-ups are researched and drafted with the help of AI writing tools, working from the chosen imagery and from general styling, fabric, and garment knowledge.
• Human review. Every piece is reviewed and edited by our team before it goes live. We check that the styling advice is sound, the descriptions match the imagery, and the claims are ones we can stand behind.
• Updates. When we revise a published piece — expanding it, correcting it, or refreshing guidance — we update the "Updated" date shown on the page.

What we will never claim

Honesty about what we are is the foundation of this site. We do not claim to have purchased, worn, laundered, or lab-tested the garments shown in our edits. When we describe a fabric or a fit, we're describing what the look shows and what general garment knowledge tells us — not a hands-on trial. Care advice we give (like "hand-wash satin cold") is standard best practice for that fabric type, not a wear-test result.

Style Scores and prices

The Style Score (★ rating) on each edit is our subjective editorial opinion of how strong and wearable we find the look — nothing more. It is not a quality measurement, a fit trial, or a value-for-money verdict. Prices shown are approximate guidance for the kind of garment pictured, meant to help you set a budget. Actual prices vary by retailer, size, and season; always check the store before buying.

Independence and advertising

StyleSnoop is funded by advertising served through Google AdSense. Ads are placed by Google's systems, not by us, and advertisers have no influence over what we feature or how we score it. We have no affiliate relationships and earn nothing when you buy something we've featured. Details are on our Advertising Policy page.

Corrections

If we get something wrong — a fabric misidentified, a styling claim that doesn't hold up, a price band that's badly off — we want to fix it. Send corrections through our contact page or email info@stylesnoop.in. We review every report, correct the page where warranted, and update its "Updated" date.

Suggestions

Reader suggestions genuinely shape what we cover. If there's a look you'd like broken down or a styling question you'd like a guide on, tell us — the FAQ and several of our guides started as reader questions.
