Hot Fashion Trends on Indian streets for 2017


Just like every other year, 2017 brought with it a wave of new trends. Many of them were major ramp hits and others being the carryover of 2016. As we have made through the first five months, some of the trends got ditched, while rest turned out to be a rage in fashion industry and on streets. So, let’s take a quick check on the current hot favorite trends to pump up your wardrobe game!


 1. Stripes all the way
One staple trend that should make a place in your wardrobe instantly is stripes. A major hit of past three seasons, stripes are here to stay. Go for bankers or pinstripes, this one trend looks good in all kinds of fashion pieces, be it a shirt dress, a palazzo, culottes, top or a maxi.  Give it a more edgy look with a striped knot around the waist. While pastels being favorite, vibrant stripes were seen making its way on international ramps by Altuzarra and Proenza Schouler in their spring/summer collection 2017, earlier this year.


2. Flashdance and One Shoulder Cutout
This flattering trend has become a personal favorite among fashion designers. Revolutionizing the cold shoulders phenomena is the one shoulder top or dress. From strategically placed cut outs to flashdance shoulders, this adds an uber-chic vibe to your personality.


3. Asymmetric hems and layers
Asymmetric hem lined tunic goes great with palazzo, patiala, leggings and culottes. Choose from light breathable fabrics for that cool summer style. You can also pair an asymmetrical jacket or cape over a kurti and palazzo for an instant ‘ethnic yet chic’ look. Get ready to witness more of this trend in numerous variations from different designer collections in coming seasons.


4. Mules
While pumps being the wardrobe essentials, mules have took over the fashion streets this year. Choose from an array of flat mules, heeled mules, wedge heel mules, low block - heel mules, espadrille mules and sneaker mules. They come in a variety of colors and fabrics including suede, satin, embroidery and canvas. Complimenting both your westerns and Indian outfits they are must haves this season.


5. Statement earrings
Going are the days of choker and silver jewelry, be a fashion forward and add statement fringe/tassels earrings to your collection. These Instagram worthy statement pieces goes great with all kinds of clothing. We have seen over dramatic versions of these on ramps. Pair them with all sorts of traditional outfits or with your favorite western piece for an instant quirkiness. 


6. Yellow blast
It’s time to give this color some love, for; you are going to witness all shades of it in this season. Opt for vibrant and mustard hues for some cheerful look or go for lighter shades in lemon, pastels and butterscotch for a more positive and peaceful impression. Take your inspirations from the collections showcased in Lakme Fashion Week, 2017 by designers like Divya Reddy, Bhairvi Jaikishan, Naushad Ali and Jayanti Reddy.


7. Words matter
From phrases in 2016, slogan tees this year will be more of a one-word game. Choose a word that defines you and sport it in your tees, bottoms or dresses. Bold, bright and embroidered one word definers are stylist’s favorites right now.


 8. Return of 80’s
Predicted by top fashion experts, the glamorous trend from 80’s is a decade dip that you can’t choose to ignore. From full sleeves, high shine fabrics, body conscious fits, tie up bows, frills & ruffles, draped volumes, silhouette – enhancing nipped waists tied up with giant belts, fuller and voluminous sleeves to flirty hemlines, the list just seems endless to play with. It’s time to embrace all feminine details in your dresses.


9. Painted wonders
This artistically inspired concept was seen on the international ramps this year, by designers like Valentino, Roksanda and Celine, Marni and numerous others. Taking inspirations from strong art references, you have a variety to choose from painted print works and patterns. Go an extra edge and unleash the artist inside, by creating DIY’s in your favorite fashion clothing and take over the streets by your own piece of art.


10. Sleeves
Sleeves will be the show stoppers of the whole fad story this year. Opt for sleeves with slit for a top or go for floor length sleeves for your lehenga blouse or a gown. Exaggerated and ruffled versions of it looks great when wore over a jeans or dress. Long sleeves with bell hems look good on tops and kurtas. You can also experiment sleeve hems with bright colored fringes, giving it a joyful look. 

 Above all, this year will be all about being you. Showcasing your personality in your own unique style oriented pieces through your wardrobe is what stylists are emphasizing on.

Polka meets Cold Shoulder

Hey all, it’s been over a week since I started blogging and thought it’s high time to post my first outfit look and share with you all my personal style. It’s a fashion blog, after all!😃  Before moving ahead, I would really like to thank you all for loving my work and appreciating it. For an introvert like me, blogging was not an easy decision.

Be Safe with PEE SAFE #saynotodirtytoilets

Hey people Today I will be talking about something very different from what I usually document on my blog. This is an awareness post concerning the hygiene and safety of women and is highly recommended. It’s in collaboration with PEE SAFE. Public Toilets! Two words that make us cringe, every time our bladder commands to get empty. Playing in our minds a gross and stinky sight. Poor or no infrastructure, zero cleanliness, jammed pot holes, dirty toilet seats and oh! that bad odour... are some common reasons to avoid using public toilets. Fear of catching infections from dirty toilets, make us hold on to our bladders while we hunt for much “cleaner” restrooms in a mall, multiplex, hotels or until we don’t step in the comfort of our own houses.
