Denims



Although denims have went through myriad adaptations but they never ran out of fashion. They recently made a comeback with bell-bottoms, flared and high-waist jeans.


At the college campus, you can explore its other variations like boyfriend jeans, shorts, dungarees, skirts and team them up with crop tops, kimonos, shirts or just spaghettis. Don’t forget to take some style cues from our previous blog Denim Affair to nail your look to perfection.


Go the Athleisure way



At the campus, you need to be experimental and well-balanced at the same time. Add a dash of sportiness to your regular wardrobe by pairing a leather jacket with sneakers, jeans with cool windcheaters or heels with jogger pants. A baseball cap or a printed bandana would be good accompaniments. Avoid overdoing jewellery.


Bring back the Retro magic


Fashion is cyclical, you see. Never hesitate to revamp your wardrobe. For a change, you could try some retro avatars like floral bomber jackets, flattering bell-sleeved dresses and printed palazzo pants that are back in vogue.

Rehash your embroidered kotis and vintage-themed jackets to work out the magic. You can also opt for chic gingham prints and give your attire a cool spin. Not to mention, a pair of hoop earrings and long winged eyeliner will make you look like a true retro diva.

Mix and Match


It’s totally cool to refurbish your favourite outfit and experiment it in various ways to create your own contemporary fusion.

Be daring enough to coordinate flirty crop tops with trendy dhoti pants or a simple plain kurta with contrasting cigarette pants. Get creative with bright colours and feel free to play with your skirts, denims or slogan tops.

Ethnic charm


If you’re not a fan of street chic styles, you can accentuate your style game with ethnic separates. Gussy yourself up with the trending slit kurtas, palazzo pants, shirt dresses and long skirts with an added twist of drapes, cowl and other patterns.

Additionally, you can use a breezy georgette cape to give your otherwise casual appearance an ethnic twist. Just be yourself and girl, you’re ready to rock.

Shoes

Marilyn Monroe has rightly quoted, “Give a girl the right shoes, and she can conquer the world.” To complete your head-to-toe fashionista look, you can always keep a pair of kolhapuri, sneakers and boots in handy.


Add a pair of juttis to elevate your Indo-western avatars. While flatforms have made their strong comeback, the fashion police have also picked bright kitten heels as Summer 2017 trend. Bring on the stilettos!
