What’s Trending!

A variety of ‘70s fashion trends made their way back in 2015. Read on to rock these retro styles this winter!

As 2016 begins, we decided to look back on some of the greatest fashion hits of the previous year. From the ramps and to wedding season must-haves, the highlights of 2015 include vintage boat necks and funky, cut-out sleeves that date back to the yesteryears.

Boat necks



This trend has been a showstopper at almost every fashion week. Boat necks look great on both desi and western wear and can be enhanced with embellishments and cut-work. A good place to start at could be your mother’s trousseau collection. Rummage through in case she has a wide-neck kameez or simply get one made. Pair it up with a traditional lehenga and shine away at the next reception you attend.

Cut-out sleeves and slits



As much as we loved the ever-so-flattering simple long sleeves, we also adore the unique and trendy ways in which designers have been jazzing them up. From slits and shoulder holes to bell-shapes and capes, these quirky ideas add much needed oomph factor to your wardrobe. So this shaadi season, indulge in some arm candy and don’t be afraid to show off those lean arms you’ve been working on.

Flared pants



Perhaps our favourite of the current trends, flared pants are ideal for those with heavy lower halves. Not only are they more comfortable to wear than cigarrete pants —  especially in the warm summer months —  they are also very figure-flattering when paired with a fitted top. And the best part is that they come in all kinds of styles, from bell-bottom jeans to Dhaka pajamas for desi wear. Whichever you prefer, be sure to get your hands on one or two of these fabulous items.
