The festivity is ongoing and the atmosphere around could not have been happier as Diwali is around the corner! Yes, we cannot keep calm as our days are spent stocking up on sweets and crackers and shopping for the morning puja and card parties in the evening. I am sure by now you must have already decided on what your attire is going to be, but how about some last minute considerations that could make you the showstopper anywhere you go?
So, here are a few trends that are raising the temperature everywhere. Let’s have a quick look so that you can hit the nail right on its head with your outfit.
Trend No.1: Man-up, wear man-skirts.
Remember that look of surprise you had on your face when you saw Ranveer Singh sporting a man-skirt! Yes, I know a part of you rebelled at the image while the other part smiled with glee! From Kanya west to Vin Diesel, the manskirt has been garnering a lot of support, leading it to have the fashion moment right now pretty much. While most are suspicious about it, those daring to wear it are being viewed as the ones not afraid of experimenting. That is surely a great impression to make, right? Want to make a fashion statement in the card party? Wear a man-skirt. (You have Ranveer’s blessings!)
Trend No.2: Hakuna Matata…hakama pants are here!
Hakama Pants are the rage right now. Add it to a bandhgala and you have created yet another signature look that sets you apart from the crowd! Go ahead and experiment with the colours!
Trend No.3: Florals are ruling the floor!
Yes, you read that right. Pastel and deep coloured floral kurtas are back in fashion and also ruling the ramps all over. Choose your colour and pair it with slim fit pants. The look you create would not be found sported by another in the room. Makes you festival ready instantly!
Trend No.4: A Nehru never goes wrong.
A Nehru jacket always adds that dollop of sauve to your attire. This is one foolproof plan for turning heads. Not only does it up your smart quotient but makes you look instantly hot as well. Go on and find yourself that perfect Nehru jacket that you can mix and match or team up with complementary colours. Keep the pants slim-fit, as it adds to the look further.
Trend No.5: Bandhgalas always seal the deal.
Following the Nehru jacket tradition is the bandhgala, another way in which you can never go wrong. To add that extra bit of quirk, you can team it with dhoti style pants. Something that most have not had the courage to sport yet, giving you the chance to be the trendsetter in your group. This look gives you a balanced yet edgy style, something that is sure to grab the eyeballs.
Trend No.6: It is the little things that matter!
Never underestimate the power of accessorizing your attire with the tiny details that most overlook, and when added turns around the look! Be it pocket-squares or buttons, or even a brooch, keep your eyes open for the little items that can make a huge impact.
If you are picking up pocket-squares, ensure they are in contrasting colours to the suit you are wearing, and are complementary. If you happen to be shopping for buttons, go for the handcrafted ones that would add an indigenous touch, and not the same old boring initials or square buttons. Brooch, well, this you can have real fun with. Pick something that would catch the eye immediately, it anyway would as not many are seen sporting brooches. Remember Tyrion Lannister’s “The Hand” brooch? Imagine that beauty sitting on your suit. Get the drift?
Trend No.7: Why don’t you create it?
