MIX PRINTS (PART I): #Floral and Stripes Harmony: Embracing the Art of Mixing Prints for Effortlessly Chic Outfit

”Blooms and lines entwine, fashion’s harmony defined.”
-sweta

Fashion is all about making a statement, and mixed prints are a fun and creative way to do just that. The trend of combining different patterns in one outfit has been around for a while now, and it’s still going strong. From stripes and florals to polka dots and animal prints, mixed prints offer a unique and visually appealing way to express your personal style.

Combining stripe and floral prints can effortlessly elevate your fashion game and infuse your outfit with a touch of playful elegance. To master this artful mix, I started by selecting a dominant piece – a striped top – as the centrepiece of my ensemble. Once you have your anchor, choose the other print in complementary hues to create a cohesive look. Aim for a balanced contrast, allowing one print to stand out while the other serves as a charming accent. So, I picked up a lightweight casual floral jacket. Remember, subtlety is key; don’t overwhelm your outfit with too many competing elements. Keep accessories and other garments simple to let the magic of stripes and florals do the talking. With this harmonious blend of prints, you’ll effortlessly embrace a fashion-forward and unique style that’s sure to turn heads wherever you go.

But how do you mix prints successfully without looking like a hot mess? It’s all about finding a balance between the patterns you choose and understanding the basics of colour theory. Here are a few tips to help you get started:

Stick to a colour scheme

Choosing patterns that share a common colour scheme makes it easier to mix and match. You can also opt for neutral shades such as black, white, and gray to keep your look cohesive.

Experiment with scale

Mixing prints of different scales can add interest to your look. For example, pair a small striped top with a light floral jacket.

Use accessories to tie it all together

Accessories are a great way to bring your mixed print look together. For example, a belt, shoes, or bag in a matching colour can help to unify the different patterns you’re wearing.

Keep the rest of your look simple

When you’re mixing prints, it’s best to keep the rest of your look simple. Avoid wearing too many accessories or bold makeup, as this can detract from the patterns you’re wearing.

In conclusion, the fusion of a striped top and a floral jacket has proven to be a winning combination, a testament to the power of mixing prints in fashion. Embrace the uniqueness and creativity that this style allows, for it reflects the beauty of life’s diverse facets coming together in perfect harmony.

Let your outfits be a canvas to showcase your individuality and bold spirit, unafraid to step beyond fashion norms and into the realm of limitless expression. As you embrace this artful juxtaposition, may you find inspiration in the beauty that emerges from unexpected combinations. So, dare to mix, dare to match, and dare to be fashionably and confidently you. So go ahead, experiment with different patterns and see what kind of magic you can create

Happy styling!

THE LANGUAGE OF STYLE: EMBRACE YOUR MESSAGE WITH SLOGAN TEES

Slogan T-shirts: The Fashion Statement That Speaks Volumes

SLOGAN TEES ARE VIBES
Sweta

Slogan T-shirts have become a ubiquitous fashion trend in recent years and for good reason.

These shirts allow wearers to express their personality, beliefs, and sense of humour in a way that is both stylish and comfortable.

One of the reasons why slogan T-shirts have become so popular is that they offer an easy and affordable way to add some personality to an outfit. Whether you are wearing jeans, shorts, or a skirt, a T-shirt with a witty or thought-provoking message can add a touch of humour or inspiration to your look.

Slogan T-shirts can also be used to make a statement. From political and social causes to pop culture references, there is no shortage of messages that can be conveyed through a T-shirt slogan. For example, a feminist T-shirt can promote gender equality, while a slogan T-shirt that references a classic movie or TV show can show off your geeky side.

Moreover, slogan T-shirts can be an excellent conversation starter. Wearing a T-shirt with a funny or interesting slogan can spark a conversation with a stranger who shares your sense of humour or interests. This can lead to new friendships, connections, or even business opportunities.

When it comes to styling slogan T-shirts, the possibilities are endless. You can dress them up or down, depending on the occasion. For a casual daytime look, pair a slogan T-shirt with denim shorts and sneakers. For a night out, dress up a slogan T-shirt with a midi skirt and heels. You can also layer a T-shirt under a blazer or a cardigan for a more polished look.

In terms of the message on your T-shirt, it is essential to choose one that aligns with your values and beliefs. Whether it’s a witty slogan or a thought-provoking statement, your T-shirt should reflect your personality and style. Be mindful of the message you are sending and the impact it may have on others.

In conclusion, slogan T-shirts have become a popular fashion trend because they allow wearers to express themselves in a fun and stylish way.

Whether you want to make a statement, show off your personality, or start a conversation, a slogan T-shirt is a versatile and affordable way to do it. So, next time you are looking for a fashion statement that speaks volumes, consider a slogan T-shirt.

Hope you enjoyed the post, and grab your slogan tee for your next outing, let them know what you think? Or let them keep thinking the choice is all yours!

CLASSIC V/S TRENDY

IN A WORLD FULL OF TRENDS , DO YOU WANT TO BE CLASSIC?
-Anonymous

I have a question, So is it Evergreen pieces? Or is Fashion Fad for you? I suggest you must have both 🙂 This post explores the best of both worlds, I will delve into the advantages of both Classic wear v/s Trendy wear. Before we move forward, we must understand the correct definition of Classic wear and Trendy Wear.

Classic Fashion is a style that lasts for several seasons, sometimes even years and is accepted by many people. For these time-honoured styles, you don’t have to think twice before wearing them. Ask yourself if you are going to wear it after five years? If the answer is Yes you know you have a simple piece in your wardrobe! White shirts and t-shirts combined with basic denim jeans are the best examples of Classic style. On the other hand, Trendy wear is something extremely fashionable and influenced by the most recent or inspired fashion ideas.

A simple black dress, a worsted wool suit, a leather bomber jacket, basic denim with white shirts- these are all simple fashions that repeat themselves year after year. On the other hand, vogue design lasts only for a season, sometimes even less than a season. Fancy Fashion tends to be at the extreme end of a design with a kind of vibe to it, which can be retro or luxe or any other but not at all prototypal. Also, they don’t always go with all kinds of accessories only but unique ones.

Let’s look into it:

CLASSIC FASHION WEAR

Everyone affiliated with fashion knows about the iconic Audrey Hepburn vintage look for Breakfast at Tiffany’s. LBD (Little black dress) always tops the list for a typical wardrobe! But nothing can beat the effortless charm of the standard pair of BLUE JEANS https://jeanbleu.com/ Here it is!

Jeans are a forever wardrobe essential. While certain styles, such as distressed or skinny jeans, may pass in and out of fashion, a stellar pair of women’s jeans is simple and timeless. While jeans trends can be fun to explore and style, be sure your closet has a few good pairs of classic jeans. Not to mention a crisp white shirt to team it up with is always a wonderful option. Accessorize it with black sunglasses with a classic tote bag and you can never go wrong. And this comes under nonchalant clothing, which I love to do!

Fashion gurus swear by this plain look for ages. Nothing can ever go wrong with this safest classic combo. An extremely versatile and timeless look, apt for most occasions with elite comfort. Usual clothing style describes a person’s personality of preference towards enduring looks, simple and elegant cuts, choice of fine natural fabrics, and matching accessories such as leather shoes and handbags which make the look wholesome.

Though not giving the flashiest look in the room, time-honoured clothing choices always make a person look good. Well, I feel like a diva when my baby looks at me like that:)

PS: To boot you can layer a fresh white shirt underneath jackets and sweaters. You can conjointly add a silk blouse that can be dressed up with slacks or worn with jeans for a more casual and simple look.

TRENDY FASHION WEAR

Now to compare my Classic look with Trendy fashion wear, I need a piece of clothing with a certain kind of melancholy to it that can be experimental to some extent what else is better than POLKA DOTS; https://www.zara.com/ca/en/woman-dresses-polka-dot-l1775.html it’s very stylish and looks good on all themes and occasions but still comes with certain restrictions that we have to keep in mind before wearing it as it has this retro vibe to it and needs to combine with exclusive accessory to nail the look. And for 2022, Polka dot dresses are more significant than ever. Kate Middleton is spotted in one almost weekly, Bella Hadid and Kendall Jenner are fans. At the same time, brands including Richard Quinn, Zara and Ganni have recently launched their own reworked designs in a variety of modern colourways and innovative styles.

Polka-dot-printed fashion is about as iconic as it comes but we’ve seen a new resurgence of the timeless favourite, sprinkled throughout the pre-fall 2022 designer collections not to mention Polka dots always rule the chart for me!

The evocative vibe with Polka dots never takes it out of vogue and it always comes as a breather among wild and weird trends year after year. It is so chic and comfortable and at the same time has the ability to enhance your inner feminity.

Opting for a polka-dot dress or shirt, your personality is probably just as lively and energetic as the playful print. Those who prefer polka dots have also been identified as hardworking and multi-taskers. Adding polka dots to your everyday formals can enhance your personality.

Readers, this diminutive comparison between Classic v/s Trendy wear is always interesting to discuss which somehow is responsible to keep the pace of the fashion cycle going on and on every year. As I mentioned earlier both of these amazing style pieces are must have in your wardrobe. You can fan both to nail them. In fashion always look for a style which is super comfortable and chic, and that’s all we want. Right?

I hope, you find this article alluring!

DO YOU HAVE THESE IN YOUR WARDROBE?

OUR LIFE DICTATES A CERTAIN KIND OF WARDROBE
Grace Kelly

ANY ITEM IN YOUR WARDROBE SHOULD SATISFY ONE OF TWO CRITERIA: UTILITY AND JOY
Stacy London

Back with a post that is not at all new to you, you may have heard it before. But I was waiting so long to write about the wardrobe must-haves that each one of us should possess and also how important role they play to create an ideal wardrobe. A good wardrobe should contain certain essentials to ensure you are always well turned out for any occasion. There are a few pieces which in my opinion everyone should have. Let’s begin with these wardrobe must-haves.

BLAZER/JACKET (from ZARA)

A very stylish well-fitted jacket that enhances one’s personality is right up here on my list of wardrobe-essentials. Pure leather, blingy, houndstooth, denim or checkered make one feel chic and comfortable at the same time. It never makes you look over the top because of the cuts and silhouettes, it can highlight your curve and make you voluptuous if you are thin and can add some height, especially long jackets if you are looking for a tall structure. A jacket /blazer will always compliment your outfit.

PRINTED STOLE (from FABINDIA)

It is a simple as any other wardrobe addition, a printed stole whether it a floral print, animal print or just any random print, it can be wrapped around your neck or handbag or can be worn as a bandana will give a statement to your style quotient and your overall look.

SILK SAREE OR SILK SHIRT (from NALLI’S)

Another addition to your wardrobe is a beautiful silk saree( Indian heritage) or a soft silk shirt. So I opted for a saree, nothing conveys the message stronger than a traditional, nine-yard draped around your body. A silk saree whether a Patola, Banarasi, Jamdani or Chanderi, is the perfect attire to flaunt my Indianess at festivals or social do’s. Also, a silk shirt in any shade/hue will do wonders when complementing with a pencil skirt or simply with formal trousers. Silk is a beautiful cloth.

NUDE COLOUR SHOES (from ALDO)

This is a must-have for your wardrobe. It goes almost with everything you wear irrespective of its colour or style. It is the best shade to mute the attention from anything that takes away from the outfit. It looks super chic with short dresses and almost goes with every pattern. You must have at least one pair in your wardrobe.

PERFUME (from HERMES)

Any wardrobe is incomplete without a good perfume to make that clothing live and worthwhile. An amazing fragrance around you brings the whole look to almost perfection. Go for earthy, woody, floral or any fruity fragrance or should have one each from all. A signature perfume is a must for any occasion.

So by having these above few must-haves in your wardrobe can elaborate the wardrobe quotient and brings it to a whole new place, all you have to do is to keep signature or statement pieces for each.

I hope you are already having a few items in your wardrobe, but for the rest, you can go ahead as the holiday season is almost there, no harm in treating yourself with that new pair of shoes or a nice chic blazer or jacket to pamper your inner self.

Thank you for reading!

YOUR FASHION FEAR BUSTED: PART I

“IT’S NOT WHAT YOU WEARING. IT’S THE WAY YOU WEAR IT“
..

If you find yourself on the style sidelines thinking, “I could never pull that off,” then it’s time to get a new fashion mantra. I’ve rounded up sage words of wisdom that every fashion wallflower needs. This time I am going to bust a few of your fashion fears. Knowingly that all my beautiful squad is full of confidence, brave to experiment but there are certain moments, where you are unsure about particular fashion piece. You won’t wear trousers cause you inherited your mother’s hips, you can’t wear boots,, you are too short, can’t put Hat as you think it’s plain silly. Am I looking good with this or it’s a total disaster? Such constant overthinking kills all the fun!!

So I am compiling this section into three parts, Each part I will discuss three fashion fears that need to be busted as soon as we can. So that we can enjoy what we wear!

In this part, my discussion point will be :

Chunky jewellery is too much for the workplace!
I’m not bad ass enough for leather jackets!
My neck is too short for scarves!

So let’s start with the first one:

CHUNKY JEWELLERY IS TOO MUCH FOR THE WORKPLACE
..

So your antique silver neckpiece from heirloom was last dusted off at a friend’s wedding. Your Cleopatra-Esque gold Choker is reserved for night-outs. That turquoise asymmetric neckpiece goes perfect with a cocktail dress. But none of these you’d dream of pairing with pantsuits to work.

YOU CAN DO IT AND HOW?

Pick up a dress in a single solid color, like I opted for a black dress, to wear with one pieced statement jewelry. Keep clothes neutral, so clothes and jewelry don’t scream for attention. And you can beautifully flaunt your heirloom piece from the ancestry.

I AM NOT BADASS ENOUGH FOR LEATHER JACKETS
..

Kelly Mc Gillis wore one in Top Gun with sexy white formal shirts and tailored skirts, but that was in an environment of whistling metal F-14s and sweaty, testosterone-fuelled fighter pilots. And so you’ve always associated leather jackets with a badass personality. That was 1983 since then, leather jackets have been revamped to sexy chic. Just remember the rest of you shouldn’t look like it’s trying too hard.

YOU ARE AND HOW?

What you have to do is you have to pair a leather jacket with fell fitted jeans and a neutral shirt or top. Semi casual style is the way to go. You can see while pairing your jacket with this style will enhance the whole look and you look fabulous without being badass.

MY NECK IS TOO SHORT FOR SCARVES
..

Your friend seemed so chuffed about. having bought you that classy, limited edition silk designer scarf, you didn’t have the heart to tell her that the last time you wore one, you looked like nature has done you a genetic unkindness as the girl with no neck. You are worried scarves will cover up what a little neck you have, but a little knot knowledge goes a long way.

YOU CAN FIX IT! AND HOW?

So there is a fashion fix for this one that is so effortless to try on and resolve the issue in no second. Long scarves in a lighter fabric, tied lower down on your chest elongate your neck and you no more feel shortness of your neck and feel good about it.

So this is it, I hope you found it useful!

Keep Reading, Stay Safe, Stay Healthy
