Summers are here and summer fashion is what we can’t take our minds off! As much as we dread the extremities of the weather, the joy is all about being able to flaunt the lovely, summary attires in vibrant hues.

So, before you all gear up to revamp your wardrobes, here are a few quick tips that can come in handy to choose the right summer clothes.

White is Right: You can never go wrong with whites. They are simple, yet elegant and versatile. We all love wearing them with bright contrasting colors. But this year, let’s go bold! Pair those whites with shades of gold and other metallic tones like copper to add that touch of royalty.

Back to Florals: Bright floral prints have been a summer trend since last few years and are here to stay this year as well. Smaller prints are going to be appreciated as they won’t take your look over the board.

Slits to kill: Extended slits will be a rage this summer! They are going to render a modern and chic attribute to the Indian ethnic wear. Go for a high slit Kurta with geometrical pattern to be the trendsetter.

Capes: This fashion element is the designer’s new obsession. The cape has made its way in Indian Fashion as it adds a dash of class and elegance to any attire.

Asymmetric Hems: Dresses and Kurtas with Asymmetric hems and clean and distinctive cuts are surely going to get you the title of The Summer Diva! Embrace this style to look a class apart.

So ladies, keep these style tips in mind when you pick up that favorite shopping bag. But do add your personal touch to it. Remember, Trend is what you follow, Style is what you create!

All the fuss about the Smartwatch!

What is a smart watch? A smart watch can simply be defined as a personal digital assistant which performs various functions. The functions vary from one smart watch to another.

Of late smart watches have become very popular, but are they really as useful as they say they are? Lets find out –

1)       Convenience – Let’s be honest being able to do all your tasks without having to whip out your phone every time is convenient. They keep you in the loop without have to go through a lot of trouble.

2)       Social mannerisms – It is rude to check your phones constantly when you’re out in a meeting or amongst a group of people, smart watches let you see a message in a glance without interrupting your outing.

3)       Affordable – They are far more affordable from all the other swanky phones and gadgets available in the market. With their growing demand, options are growing too which gives you a chance to choose from a sea of smart watches.

4)       Calling – Most of the smart watches let you take calls and make calls, which is convenient when you’re in the gym with your headphones on or if you’re driving. Smart watches such as Apple’s smart watch let you directly have a conversation through the watch.

5)       Fitness – Most of the smart watches are equipped with fitness trackers which make them even more wearable and convenient. You no longer need to carry a Fitbit around your watch is capable enough to count your steps or calories.

Ultimately, the smartwatches do everything a smartphone can, but they're not there to replace your phone - they're there to complement it.

Men’s Wedding Looks

The wedding season has begun! There is a lot of fuss about what a woman has to wear to a wedding and men are left out. I think there’s equal fuss, after all who doesn’t want to look good.

·         Kurta Pajama – Tuxedo’s are suave but Kurta pajama’s can still melt a girl’s heart. If worn correctly they can make you look amazing. If you’re still not so keen on the idea of wearing Kurta Pajama to a wedding you can always step the game up by pairing it with a waist coat.

·         Sherwani – Sherwani’s are technically worn by the groom but you can always sport a dialed down version of them. If you want to go for the Indian traditional touch opting for a Sherwani would be great. The only drawback to this outfit is that it cannot be worn to just any part or event but weddings.

Dhoti Kurta – This may sound odd but the modern version of a Dhoti Kurta with a waist coat is actually a very cool outfit. It will not only help you stand out but will make up for the perfect wedding read more...
