Connect With The Dotty Fashion

Fads fade but few vintage trends like polka dots never go out of fashion. For every girl or woman, polka dots are a fashion must-have! It’s classy trend which was highly popularized by Minnie Mouse’s character in the cartoon rules even today on fashion runways and red carpet events.

From a printed blouse to spunky sunglasses, we can find this trendy polka dot print being used now and then in a big way. So, what is the reason behind it’s high popularity? It’s a style for all seasons simply because it exhibits an undeniable youthful flair and adds a sense of playfulness to the design. This pattern is not restricted to one size which gives way for more creativity and in addition big, medium and small sized polka dots suit everyone. Unlike the other vintage trends, polka dots can be mixed and matched with bold colours.

To add a little fun to your party outfit, choose a big structured polka dot design and team it with subtle accessories as these dots give enough details to the attire. If you consider yourself daring enough, stick to the big and bold dotted dresses, skirts and pants and similarly designed fun accessories like bangles, hats, scarves, belts and bags.  There are also other accessories you can experiment with - a flashy headband or a pair of polka dotted socks with your short dress. Polka dots will continue to get reinvented year after year with funky and mischievous twists. 

Carry Style To Work!

Presentation is the key to turning your boring stint at work into something exciting, fun, and happening. With a change in your look, your work gets double-noticed. Office wear ain’t about glamour, it’s about dressing smart. Sport sensational yellows, or bold pinks; however, don’t overdo it. Team it with greys and whites. For clothing, be sure to avoid a striking mix of colours. Choose a bright dress and balance it with neutral colour. Peplum tops paired with a slim pencil skirt create a flattering silhouette. 

The sheer fashion trend counts as one of the most in-vogue styles to don. It adds a dramatic appeal to ensure that you stand out. However, to get the look right, layers are of prime importance. To balance the look, team it with light jewellery in pastel shades of browns and greys. For an elegant formal look, team a beige blouse with grey or black trousers or skirt and kitten heel pumps. Avoid wearing the same shade of neutrals together like white shirt over white trousers. Indian women prefer kurtis, salwar kameez & even sarees as their daily office attire.

With hairstyles, keep the look simple. A short crop of hair always goes perfectly with formal wear. If you sport long hair, high ponytails and buns sound just right. So the focus comes right back to your outfit accessories. Strong scents of perfumes must be avoided. If you like your stilettos, stick to low-heeled and shades of browns & blacks, or you can experiment with mauve and beige.  Pearls, light pendants and neck pieces give you a sophisticated look. So head on and bring in a whiff of colour and panache, to the dull workspace!

Swing & Sway All The Way

With the arrival of the warmer months of spring and summer, you have party invitations galore at your doorstep which means it’s time to look around, and redefine what look you’re going to give to yourself this year. Each time you hit the party scene, you’d want to make sure that you have your best foot forward. The current fashion trends suggest you sport fabulous vivid colours as well as soft neutral shades besides pastels – two top favourites being soft mint green and lush pink. Blacks and whites have remained popular and worked all along. Also in vogue are floral prints, all hues of reds and tons of lace. So, the focus shifts from glitter and sheen to more of vibrant colours in sync with the season.

Turning to styles, off-shoulder dresses and skirts will rule the roost. Again, stick to stripes, vivid and animal prints. The dominant theme this season is more or less classic, albeit retaining a touch of the edgy.

Now about footwear, it is essential that you wear your dresses and skirts with the right kind of footwear. This time around, Besides pumps and sandals, stiletto and ultra-thin heels are among the hot footwear trends. You can also go for stiletto boots of knee-length or ankle-length, tie-up sandals or stylish gladiators. Now that you have umpteen options for both clothing and footwear, finding the right style that will perfectly complement your outfit is the most essential step for donning a great look. Remember to consider the colour & nature of your outfit while choosing a pair of footwear.

When it comes to accessorizing right, a small metallic clutch is a great complement to a little black dress to add a shine to the evening. Bags with sequins, beads and other embellishments are also terrific options. For jewellery, keep the glitter a little low, avoid going too loud. Keeping all these in mind, you can be all set to paint the town red! 

Tip Time - Style Up This Monsoon!

You hear of downpours and drizzles, and see people rushing off. If you’ve always associated monsoons with trouble, then it’s time you gave stepping out a thought.  Sport colourful raincoats, and trendy boots. If you like to play around, and jump into puddles at the onset of a downpour, wear your shorts and skirts, dresses and capris, just perfect for the season! If you want to get drenched, anytime, anywhere, the ideal casual wear would be a crisp cotton shirt or spaghetti teamed with shorts or capris. While you’re having fun, you’d also not want your clothes to lose their sheen and colour. So avoid wearing crepe and chiffon, as they tend to get spoilt. Stick to cottons and polynylons.

Talking of the right hues and shades for the season, the most popular and oft-suggested ones for the year turn out to be blues and greens, and the like. Add purple, lemon yellows, and parrot greens to your wardrobe. These shades bring out the right contrast with the greys and whites of the monsoons, giving you a cheerful look. If you want to take a dip, sport the right kind of beach wear that fits, and flatters your physique. If denims and tees are your favourites, try on polka dot tops, with rolled up jeans, for the evenings, and be sure to be noticed.

For accessories and footwear, stick to flip-flops and floaters for best comfort, staying away from leather. Wear translucent bracelets, neckpieces, and match them with your outfits, also try on aqua and pale greens for accessories. Earrings, pendants and bracelets in bright coloured plastics would also give your attire a vibrant look. Make the most of the season and storm out!
