Welcome the New Year

 2015 is almost over. Is it just me, or did the year really fly by too soon? Everyone has different ways of welcoming the new year- some party with friends, some chill with family, some go on trips and some just like spending it alone at home. Nevertheless, I am sure everyone will agree that New Year eve is synonymous with party. Here are a few things that you must have to look fabulous at a party:

1. ONE PIECE

Is there any better way to flaunt your figure than a dress? Stores keep fresh stock of short dresses and gowns during this time. Although LBDs are a favourite, colourful dresses look different and very appealing. Try some new styles, step out of your comfort zone! Some quick information about popular dresses- Sheath dress (hides the chubby tummy), A-line dress (for every body type), Peplum dress (for broad shouldered girls), Flared dress (totally chic) and Lace dress (super sexy).

2. PARTY TOPS

Dresses are not mandatory for parties. Trendy tops, if paired with the right accessories and bottoms (skirts, pants and even trousers), look attractive! Some types of tops that you should consider for a party are- strappy, layered, tube, lacy and crop tops. Cut-outs and sequins look classy as well as sexy. Add some sparkle to your look!

3. ANIMAL PRINT

Yes, it is somewhat clichéd to wear animal print but what can I say, it is the most popular party wear pattern! Not only animal print tops and accessories, pants and skirts of this pattern are trending too! This looks sensual and appealing.

4. AWESOME ACCESSORIES

None of the attires look complete without the right accessories. Wear funky earrings, sultry heels, cute headgears (bands, clips, hats), classy bracelets and anklets...and chunky neckpieces! They are available in streets, boutiques and malls- you can buy according to your choice and budget.

5. FUN MOOD

It may be last on this list but it is the most important factor. Nothing can look more glamorous than playful eyes and a quirky smile. So before going for the New Year party, make sure you’ve got enough rest (because you will be dancing all night). Forget about all the stress and be happy. Lift your spirits up to truly enjoy yourself.

And if you are just chilling at home (alone or with loved ones), make sure you have your favourite movies, fun games and some chocolate cake! Ultimately, what matters is that you enjoy yourself.

1. PAX, Colaba Causeway

Have a Fashionable Winter

Source | Drescodes.com

Fashion is identified with sun and summer, so does that mean we should stay indoors or worse- end up looking boring, during the winter months? Of course not! You can have fun dressing up and staying warm even during this season. Although technically it does not get very cold in Mumbai, Winter Fashion is something we can still flaunt. Here are some tips to stay cute this winter:

1. SWEATSHIRTS

Traditionally, sweatshirts were collarless, long-sleeved, oversized cotton pullovers worn by athletes during sports training. From that typical gray gear, it has evolved into colourful “hoodies” with zippers and funky quotes. These days universities, colleges and even society organizations have their own sweatshirts made! Now sweatshirts have a mass market that appeals to youngsters- from collegians to celebrities. They keep you warm, casual and trendy!

2. STOLES AND SCARVES

Egyptian queens have donned scarves; they have been depicted in Chinese sculptures and glamorized by Victorian ladies. They come in different fabrics (fur, cotton, silk), prints (cartoons, animal prints, etc) and designs. Colourful stoles are available everywhere this season- from local trains and footpaths to boutiques and malls. It is now more of an accessory than a warmth-providing garment. This winter, glam up your plain top with a stole!

3. ADD SOME COLOUR

Winters mean gloomy skies, gloomy weather and gloomy trees. What better way to brighten the mood than wearing colourful clothes? Match your blue denims with bright top and floral prints, your plain tops with printed pants. Paint your nails with pretty pinks, apply red lipstick and wear bright shoes and clips. Add some colour to your wardrobe with trendy tops and bottoms!

4. BEANIES

Popularised by Jughead from the Archie comic book series, they have replaced the usual boring caps. Originally an all-American cap, they now prevail worldwide- amongst both boys and girls.  Beanies can be made of different fabrics and colours. They not only protect from the cold and keep hair off your face; they also add a dab of fashion to your simple look.

5. CLASSIC SWEATERS

I remember wearing pink sweaters knitted by my Mom when I was a kid. Although both sweaters and I have now evolved in terms of fashion, nothing can ever beat the classic sweaters. Pastel sweaters look cute and oversized knits look casual. Now they are no more made by our Mothers and Grandmothers but are available in mainstream fashion stores and endorsed by celebrities.

Striped leg warmers can be paired with shorts and cute ankle socks can add some colour. Winter is also the season of various boots- be it flats or with heels.

Wardrobe Must-haves Part 1: Edition XY

“You can have anything you want in life if you dress for it”

-Edith Head

We generally focus on women’s wear, often overlooking the trends in men’s fashion. While most styles are temporary, typically lasting for only a few months, some are timeless.  Here are a few items that you must have in your wardrobe:

1. FADED BLUE JEANS

This is a must have in every wardrobe- irrespective of your age, profession and preferences. These come very handy for quick getaways and travelling. Getting late for college, put them on! Can’t decide what to wear? You can never go wrong with a pair of blue jeans. They should fit you right- neither skinny-fitting, nor super loose.

2. BASIC BLACK BUTTON DOWN

The best part about black is that it is very versatile. You can pair it with blue, beige or any other colour. Black shirts can not only be worn as formals but also in parties. Black button down gives an effortless appearance which is obviously very intriguing.

3. TRENDY BOXER SHORTS

You can wear them as undies, you can roam around your house in them. They are the most comfortable night-wear (and even day-wear). These days you find all sorts of prints and designs on boxers- cartoons, comics, funny sayings, innuendos and what not! So if you don’t have any, it is time for you to buy one.

4. KURTA

A girl just has to give a second glance at a man in a kurta. Kurtas can be pretty basic (plain or monochromatic) or even elaborate (brightly coloured, with embroidery and designs). So embrace the desi-look and step out in a kurta.

5. CHECKS

Checks, being a metrosexual pattern, needs to be worn with confidence. Starting from small pieces like checked ties and shorts to shirts and even trousers, this pattern is probably the most common. Available in subtle colour combinations to rather bright ones, you should buy whatever makes you feel comfortable.

6. COLOURED TEE

A dark t-shirt gives a fresh look. This could be half-sleeved or even full-sleeved; simple round necked or confident V-necked. Although most men aren’t comfortable with bright coloured t-shirts, it should be a part of your wardrobe. They are perfect for small outings, casual games and even day dates!

7. CASUAL SWEATSHIRT

A sweatshirt is the casual version of a sweater. While giving a grown up look, it also has a rather relaxed attitude. This gives the perfectly approachable and sexy vibe.

Some stores in Mumbai that are exclusively for men’s wear:

• DZIRE NX, Lalbaug- For Jeans
• STYLE-O, Bandra- For Casual Wear
• SNEHALCOLLECTIONS, Malad West- For Traditional outfits

As our favourite Don Draper says, “Make it Simple, but Significant”
