Fall Trends 2019

Fall is upon us, and with that, the style and trends in fashion are changing. The usual oversized jumpers and jeans combo is, of course, a staple in most people’s closets, but what else is happening in the world of fashion right now? You may be surprised with some of these new trends, and might not have imagined some of the combinations. However, that’s the beauty of fashion, and everyone has their own style. You can take or leave what you like from the current trends and fads, but here are some of the things that are popular right now.

The 6 Best Summer 2018 Fashion Trends

As we usher in the new fashion season, it’s only natural that our minds should turn to the trends of this year. As the year moves on, so does the style of 2018, and everything from the jeans we should be wearing to the accessories we should be styling gets an update.

 

To make sure you’re always in style, check out these top 5 picks from the upcoming Summer fashion trends – and always remember to stay up to date on how to look after your clothes (nothing ruins new clothing like not knowing how to get rid of pen stains, especially with the pastel trend).

Pretty in Pastel

Pastel tones started making a comeback in the form of colourful hair dyes (think Kim Kardashian’s pastel pink she rocked just a month ago) and dresses and have now been seen up and down runways worldwide. From gorgeous strawberry shades to mint greens to sunny, muted yellows, pastel should certainly be your go-to colour trend this year.

Talk About Trench Coats

Perfect for the heavy rainfall we’re about to see, trench coats were the loves of many designers this season. With the likes of Maison Margiela and Balenciaga putting their own twists on this classic, it’s time to see what style you like best. Why not combine two trends and opt for a pastel-toned trench?

Purple Power

Following Pantone’s announcement that the colour of 2018 is ultra-violet, it’s not too surprising that the catwalks were transformed into seas of purple for Spring/Summer. Rich and luxurious, it’s a colour that will certainly have an impact and looks stunning with black hair.

Crazy for Cowboy Boots

Cowboy boots have once again been spotted walking the runways around the world. Calvin Klein, Givenchy, Maison Margiela; these are just a few of the designers who saddled up to ride the Western theme this year. They’re also great for walking through rain (as long as you look after them properly with water-proof coatings) so will be both stylish and practical this season!

Straight-Cut Jeans

It’s time to ditch the skinny’s and keep the flares buried in the back of the wardrobe as straight-cut begins to take over the jeans scene. Paired with fitted, figure-hugging tops and a pair of stylish trainers, you’ll be nailing the go-to casual look of the season.

Jumpsuits Forever

The jumpsuit is a timeless piece; easy to wear and can be styled for a casual day outfit or a formal evening look, it’s about time it made a big comeback. Spotted at Apiece Apart, Gucci and Tod’s to name but a few, the jumpsuit was shown off left, right and center this year.

Staying on trend is important for any fashionable man or woman, so keeping on top of what’s hot on the catwalk with each passing season is vital. See how you can update your wardrobe and remember to brush up on clothing care, learning how to remove pen stains from clothes and keep your outfits looking fresh.

10 Bra Types You Should Have in Your Wardrobe!

We all know as a women, Bra is an essential we cannot avoid. Sometimes we hate wearing them, but we have to agree that they add a lot of value to our dressing and today Bra is not a basic undergarment any more, its a fashion piece, an essential, but definitely something that is lot more than an essential. There are more than 30 types of bra available in the market, but everyone doesn’t need all 30, because most of them are based on specific needs. For example, a maternity bra is needed only when you are on maternity, or for that matter a push up bra is ideal for someone who has small breasts. But here are 10 types of Bra that probably every woman can wear and should have in her wardrobe in order to style them with her choice of clothes.

  • T- Shirt Bra– Now however basic you may consider this one, its a necessary to have a good t shirt bra in your wardrobe. Its seamless and perfect to wear under t-shirts of course, but also go well under some plain dresses and shirts. They usually offer full cover and chances of sagging breasts, double boob are almost negligible if you chose a good fitting bra. A range of seamless bras are available online for you to choose from

  • Sports Bra– Yes another routine bra, we all hear and read about all the time, but its important to chose this carefully so that it not only provides you the basic support but is also extremely comfortable and relevant to the physical activity you chose. A bra with low impact is suitable for yoga or walking, and a high impact one is needed for rigorous exercises like aerobics, running, zumba, etc.
  • Padded Bra– As contrary to popular myth that only women with smaller breasts need padded bra, even a woman with fuller breasts should occasionally try on the padded bra. Sometimes under those deep neck dresses, semi padded bra comes as saviours. In winters they help you give full nipple coverage and avoid embracing encounters. The soft padded ones are super soft and comfortable for any season and dressing.
  • Strapless Bra– This one comes in really handy when you wanna wear those off shoulder dresses and tops. Every time flaunting a bra strap is not so cool, and sometimes you really want the only focus to be on your shoulders.
  • Stick on Bra– This is a new age rage, nothing like the regular bra, but these silicone stick on bras are perfect for those weird neckline dresses that end up confusing you which bra would go with it. Doesn’t that happen with you, you see that dress in the shop and the first thing that strikes your mind is which bra would go under it. For all such dilemmas, these stick on bras work just fine. Check this one out
  • Sheer Bra– Who doesn’t like at least one sensors looking bra in their wardrobe. Sheer bras do just that for you, generally made in materials like net, satin and lace, they expose a bit of your skin, but unlike the typical lingerie range, these provide adequate coverage and support.
  • Halter Neck Bra– Flaunt that halter neck bra underneath a sexy top or dress and you will have all eyes wandering in your direction. As the name suggests these don’t go around your arms and are rather tied up with your neck and most of these are convertibles giving you options of transparent straps, cross back or halter necks. Having one in the wardrobe is a must.
  • Wire Less Bra– For those easy days, go for a basic wire less bra. We all have been totally under the catch of padded, wired and underwired bras and we love them, but on some occasions you need to give your boobs a little rest from the constant poking of the wire, even the doctors advise it.
  • Bralette– A bra that is non wired, non padded and non structured.. do you get the picture of it being the most comfortable bra type ever and undoubtedly it is. Yet it looks super sexy, with generally many design options to choose from they are even worn as crop tops and go well under anything and everything. Thats why they are the next big thing.

 

 

 

 

Shopping to my heart’s content with WishAlley

Experience of online shopping especially when it comes to buying clothes or dress material may not always be that satisfactory, because one wants to touch the material, or try that perfect fit, but given the current scenario, when we are always rushing for something or the other, time becomes a big challenge and hence we resort to online shopping. After a lot of searches and surfing on the net, I have come to a conclusion that online shopping isn’t a bad choice after all. There are some sites that offer genuine products and also define the quality of material to 100% accuracy. You may not be able to touch and feel, but the description tells you enough about the cloth that it enables you to take your decisions instantly.

One such site is www.wishalley.com. I am very choosy when it comes to purchasing dress material and getting it stitched as per ones choice, but sometimes I really feel the need to buy a nice material and get it done as per my perfect fit and choice of style rather than settling for the readymade clothes. Especially when it comes to getting a suit or kurta, I prefer getting it tailored as per my specific needs. While recently surfing through the net, I came across this wonderful site WishAlley. I was amazed by the collection that they have to offer. There is just so much to choose from. So many dress materials, latest trendy clothes and enough options available to find your perfect choice of fashion and get it stitched also as per your needs. Whether Indian or Western, whatever you are looking for, your search will end here.

I was glued to the site and after looking through the entire collection and being confused, I picked up one dress material for my kurta. Though I loved so many of the designs, I wanted to be sure about the product quality and deliverables. I opted for one kurta material for myself and started waiting eagerly for my delivery. To my surprise the delivery was quick and very smooth, I received my packet in just about two days. The packaging was neat and utmost care was taken to not letting the dress material getting rolled up or wrinkly.

I loved the dress material, as it was exactly what was mentioned, I chose a crepe kurta and also to my surprise there was enough material given for even a healthy person like me to get it stitched. The length and width of the material was just perfect.

In a weeks time, I got my kurta stitched and couldn’t control my excitement to wear it the same evening. I was just looking for a reason to wear it and then to my relief, a friend threw in a small party and I got my chance to flaunt my newly purchased and stitched kurta.

Not just me, but even my friends loved it and they could not believe that I purchased such a good material online. So after telling them about Wish Alley, I came back extremely happy and satisfied with my purchase and now I can say that I can easily trust the site and hence more shopping is in the pipeline. So what are you waiting for, log on today to www.wishalley.com and do check it out.

 

 

 

Wear T shirts with a style

T-shirts have been every girl’s wardrobe staple at some point of time. However, there is no need to always wear them the same, old way. Tee shirts, even the most basic ones can look extremely smart if worn in different ways and teamed up with the right accessories and right pieces of clothing. With a lot of options to take your pick from, wouldn’t it be really nice if you had some kind of a T-shirt styling cheat sheet? Read on below to find some interesting ideas to wear your T-shirts stylishly.

With summer approaching soon, it is high time restock on some variously coloured and patterned tee shirts and go online shopping.

Team up your tee with a Summer dress

If you have a summer dress that has a rather plunging neckline appropriate only for parties, you can put a Tee shirt to use. Wear a tee shirt beneath to act as an inner beneath the dress. The tee would not only cover up but also add a stylish streak to your regular summer dress.

Trousers with tee shirts

We usually tend to wear Tee shirts with jeans but many tees look flattering even with semi-formal trousers. You can tuck the tee in the trousers and add a belt to look really smart especially, with the high waist ones.Comfortable, platform heels look the best for office wear.

Add a scarf

Adding a scarf is the simplest way to revamp any plain tee shirt that is lying idle in your closet. A scarf instantly adds some colour and definition.

Wear beneath blazers

You can make a single Black blazer look different each time you pair it up with a different coloured or patterned tee shirt. Adding accessories like scarves, chunky neck pieces etc is another option. If you are planning to wear this combo for office, make sure you avoid anything with Letters or messages that have pun-intended.

Skirts with Tee shirts

Pair up tee shirts with mini or mid length skirts. Who said tee shirts are for tomboys? Add a pretty neck piece or a scarf with smart heels and you would look very cute and feminine. You may or may not add a pair of stockings with this beautiful combo. Sport the look with smart heels or stilettos.

Tee shirts with Palazzo

Nothing beats the cool quotient of pairing up a graphic tee with a flared Palazzo.Do not forget to add a wide belt or a belt bag for that additional style factor.

Tee with Shorts

A funky and colourful tee shirt looks uber cool when paired up with a pair of shorts. Blue denim shorts or White, they never fail to make an impact. Tuck in your tee shirt snugly into the shorts and do not forget the sporty looking shoes and cute socks.

So, with these ideas, we are pretty sure that you shall be able to bring in a fresh spin to the most basic wardrobe item, ever!

Value Shopping with Shop Clues!

How many times do we see those fashionable clothes, those trendy watches, and fashion jewellery across the ads running on social media, we click the links and often shut them back because when we look at the prices, our dreams to own those things start shattering. Most of things are so highly priced, that though we want to make a style statement, but investing huge amounts for a trendy watch or a funky necklace doesn’t seem too wise.

But I as a fashion blogger truly believe that accessories like these help making a fashion statement and one should collect slightly different and unique items. Team one chunky necklace with a plain shirt or top and you are done. One stylish watch, and people turn their heads to look at you. Choosing these things is often assumed very costly but there are some brands that help you own statement watches and jewellery for women in a decent budget.

To our rescue, shopclues.com offers amazing stuff at the best possible prices. Just randomly surfing through the site, I stumbled upon their collection of watches for women and women’s jewellery and trust me its mind blowing.

Value Shopping is surely an upcoming trend which all fashion savvy people should be aware of. It allows you to follow the latest fashion trends, own trendy watches and jewellery without burning a hole in your pocket. College going students or young working women often go through the chaos of looking good everyday, but when it comes to buying new things, it takes a backseat, but like I mentioned brands like shopclues.com now offer such great range of products that you can easily choose from so many options and fit your regular shopping in your routine budget.

[easy-image-collage id=9205]

Also who minds when fashionable and trendy things don’t cost much, at least I love shopping this way, where I am able to choose many things and may be in comparison pay price of just one big branded item. I personally love changing watches and jewellery according to the clothes I am wearing on a daily basis. The different coloured straps and dials make me swoon over watches and wearing jewellery as per occasion and dresses is a basic necessity for me. When I shopped for myself from shopclues and picked up some amazing stuff, I was able to add a lot of value to my regular look and also make my colleagues and friends a bit jealous. Everyday they would look at me wearing a different watch or a different earring and neckpiece and ask me how can I buy so many things. Then I thought I shouldn’t keep this as a secret anymore and hence I am writing this blog post to make both my friends and readers aware of my value shopping spree.

 

So I am sure now you wont refrain yourself from looking trendy and fashionable on a daily basis and make most of this value shopping from shopclues.

Using Jewellery to Create a Unique Layered Look in Your Outfit

Using Jewellery to Create a Unique Layered Look in Your Outfit

Layering your jewellery can help create a unique look that completes your outfit. Whether you’re attending a wedding, visiting friends or hitting up the club, a unique layered jewellery look will turn heads and grab attention. If you want to show off your fashion sense, then here are a few ways to layer your jewellery.

 

Personalise with unique jewellery pieces

If you want to add some personalization to your outfit, then consider using pieces that are more expressive. For instance, a pendant with your name or initials on it can be a great way to add personalization. Similarly, a ring from your favourite TV show can add a geeky touch to your outfit.

Silver creates a more neutral look

Gold jewellery can be difficult to use because it’s a much bolder colour. If you’re going for a neutral look then consider using silver instead to help add neutral tones to your outfit that doesn’t stand out too much.

Go for a simple and minimalist look

Don’t want to stand out? Consider using minimalistic jewellery pieces such as simple chains, studs and rings that have no pendants or designs on them.

 

Huge necklaces pair well with smaller ones

If you’re looking for a great way to stand out with your jewellery, then consider mixing large chains with smaller ones to make them both stand out. Gold chains also work wonders for creating a fashion statement, so take a look at this helpful infographic that shows several varieties of gold chain that you can mix.
