The Fashion Formula

Image
The Fashion industry has a "Fashion Formula" circulating around since years, I am just going to break it down for help! The outfit should basically  consist of three main pieces: a Basic;  which is something solid and simple.The second piece is an  interest piece , which includes something with colour, pattern, texture and/or shine. The third piece is the  completer piece , which finishes the look off. A jacket or cardigan are the safest option, but a belt (skinny or wide) do the trick as well.  And of course the  accessories  are the fun little extras that make the outfit really you. You can not opt for a completer piece, depending on the climate and or how comfortable you are with the jackets or belts! Here are few examples. This outfit does not have a completer piecer but because the colour the pants is bright, it makes up for the missing element! So that's the basic formula to be kept i...

Be it day or night, blouse or dress, the more they are embellished the better. Embellish it with studs or with metallic fabrics. the important thing here is to add bling.

It's all about men! Winter 2013 edition

Image
The trend for men for Autumn/Winter 2013-14 is pretty much the same as women's! Basically, if you follow Johnny Depp blindly, you'll be doing really well. His dressing is the perfect playboy and nature inspired. Also to not forget that 60's-70's are playing a major role this season, invariably a lot of geometric print will be seen!  Here are some major trends: 1. Claret for men It's an unexpected entry this season but is definitely the most common seen colour this time. It's time to embrace this colour either through separates or if you really feel like it, go head to toe in it! Though a dark red would look perfect with another complementary colour. This hue could range between a burgundy to a magenta! 2.  Animal Instincts Now if you thought that animal print will not make it to menswear, whoa hey! Think again! It's here and it's big. But only if you are daring enough you indulge in an safari print outfit, otherwise keep it s...
