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.
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!
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!
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!
You
must have a variety of clothes piled up in your wardrobe but talking of kurtis,
we have one thing to say - they can turn a plain Jane into a glamorous diva. And
probably, the best thing about them is the fact that they suit everyone, and
are an ideal choice for the Indian woman. If you prioritize on sartorial comfort and elegance, Kurtis have got to be the
choice you should opt for. See for yourself; not every stylish woman down the
street is one who’s stomping away in shorts and spaghettis.
From casual outings to office-wear, can you think of one occasion where you
could go wrong with them? For someone who’s always in skirts and jeans, and
suddenly turns up in a kurti and churidar combo, you’d understand better what
we’re talking about. And now, kurtis have come a long way indeed, when we come
across short kurtis, noodle straps, and so on, you have so wide a choice of
stuff to team them up with- jeans, churidars, patialas, and each of them gives
you a whole different look!
You can choose to wear them with your dupattas if
you want. For women who know what it takes to stay fashionable, you’ll see her
carry an armful of kurtis when on a shopping spree. Talking of comfort, there’s
no way you could’ve been more comfortable in anything else. You can also have more
fun wearing them than being left to the jeans-tee look all year round. Go
ahead, try on a few of them, and see yourself discover a whole new you!
When we’re discussing fashion for the women of today, you know we’re talking about more than just apparels and clothing. Fashion and style have as much to do with the jewellery you wear,
the footwear you put on each time you step out, the accessory you flaunt; each
of these do go into defining you. When you step out on the porch, or go for a
wild outing with your bunch of buddies, you sure want to get noticed.
However, many a time you come
across situations where you quite like the look of that embroidered kurti that
caught your eye at the store, but the shade seemed a little too loud for your
taste. Haven’t you ever been on your way to the cash counter with that nice
dress in hand when you discovered those sequins at the hemline which just about
ruined your love for that dress?
Clearly then, we know style can’t be limited
to fixed designs, colours and patterns, sometimes there’s something missing
which would have fairly convinced you to buy that outfit, accessory, call it
what you may. That is why Fashion Boutiques are a hot favourite for women who
know just where to head to get a better choice of trendy items they want. Custom
designs and a personalised touch suiting your tastes are few of the key
advantages of visiting one. One gets to discover myriad new designs and styles
with each boutique they venture into, adding new dimensions to their own fashion sense. But of course, it would take a lifetime if you
looked around for each fashion boutique in town. So you can make things a wee
bit simpler, Koovs brings you these very boutiques, from across India in just a
