Eid and Diwali season is approaching and the anxiety of “what to wear” is looming large over everyone.
FUCHSIA did a bit of virtual and actual window-shopping for you, our readers; to bring you the latest from the fashion scene.
Prints and embroidery-wise, all things floral have made a comeback, and each designer has their own version of Laura-Ashley-inspired patterns. Birds, butterflies and other nature-inspired motifs are also big this season.
“Jackets Are So Last Season!” – Whoever told you that needs a serious style check. Jackets are a trend to stay. In fact, ponchos, too, have started making an appearance in the most versatile manner.
“Short Shirts Are It!” – Well … not quite. They might be back, but the fashion industry has not as yet bid farewell to the flowy-and-elegant long silhouettes.
“To Jump, or Not to Jump?” – We leave this one to the wearer’s discretion. We still love jumpsuits and would gladly adorn them anytime.
“Hip and Trendy, or Traditional Glamour?” – This depends entirely how formal the occasion is, and the wearer’s comfort zone. Go all out and make heads turn in a heavily-embellished gown, or a jaw-dropping Sari; or go elegantly subtle in pastel colours and self-embossed fabric with a less-is-more touch to it.
Whatever your style, have a Dazzling Diwali and Happening (Hari Raya Haji) Eid.
