After a successful reign last year, ‘stripes’ are all set to stretch their territory in 2013 as well. But, before you could lay your fingers on any of those shiny new striped materials, take a look at below points in order to get the basic essentials right….
I] The world of stripes
Thin stripes, wide stripes, vertical stripes & horizontal lines, the world of stripes is pretty thick & maddening. So, tread carefully to pick the one that works best for you and catches your fantasy the most!
II] Balance the proportion with distortion!
Like any other form of art, fashion is a great instrument of illusion and stripes in particular can alter your overall appearance with the power of grey matter on your side. For example, the stripes on the bottom help to elongate the lower half of the body and make you appear longer. Or for that matter striped shirt can add volume to your bust and a plain striped pencil skirt can cut a lot of junk from your lower base.
III]Accessorise with Stripes
Accessories are great companions in complimenting the overall attire and neutralizing the look as per the occasion. For example, neutral coloured accessories subdue the effect of wide or horizontal stripes well & experimental ones can jazz up plain attire.
IV] Block them away!
Block coloured-trousers, skirts, shirts and tops go a long way in ensuring the best for your stripe-patterned attire. So, this season don’t forget to embrace the boldness of stripes with the ‘blocked’ intention.
Stripes are fun, cool, cute, sexy and bold. So, make the most of this trend while it lasts and step out with the new vigour and confidence that comes from a place that’s truly your own. Do let us know your thoughts on this one!
Glittery, shiny, sexy and bold, the biggest and the most exciting spring/summer trend to have emerged out of London Fashion week is finally in the stores! And you won’t be hearing us complain for a long-long time ladies since our fixation with the colour Neon is almost legendary. Read on further if you want to get your tone, structure and style right to the ‘T’ because well, the queen bee of all the colours is one tricky lady to please!
To begin with, neon is a fun colour. Wearing it with a lot of ease, light-heartedness and an individualistic sense of self is obligatory since any attire in this colour will BE noticed. Therefore, stacking up some confidence on your side and exercising caution as well would be wise on your part before stepping out if you don’t want to look like a Neon cannon on a self-congratulatory mission. Please accept our apologies if you think otherwise.
There’re two ways to maintain calmness, balance and neutrality in the Neon-universe. Either you insert pale colours to your overall bold outfit or you can go small with neon in order to put life into your dark and dull outfit. This bit of information is also a handy license to stock up jackets, accessories, shoes, belts & purses in pale colours to compliment your personality.
Another fun bit to try this season would be teaming trippy prints, stripes & ethnic attire with the boldness of Neon in the form of trousers, skirts, jackets or may be a simple & plain sling bag. In our opinion, tiny consumption is the key towards getting your ‘neon’ look right.
So, feel free to insert Neon in a pair of stilettos, shoes, purses, belts or even nail paints to spruce up any one of those gloomy days or when you’re in the mood to turn heads and make a raw statement. Before you go outdoors to celebrate life in a rhythm, don’t forget to Dial N for the liberation!
