Winter fashion
Tuesday, January 5th, 2010Be it a classy hair style or a car, vintage styles are in. There is one rule for winter fashion and it spells clearly as ‘comfort’. Indian winters are characterized as mild but the wind is quite a bother. Though style need not be compromised winter styles are certainly to ward off the winter blues. Use intelligent layered clothing and most branded items give you the best in recent colors and fabrics.
Dressing for a wedding need not be about shawls and stoles. Use the tweed suit in plain grey or silver to go over the sherwani or Chinese collared jacquard ethnic wear. The inners in thermal wear also come as good insulation and protection that is needed for the windy night parties. Use simple hair bands or pins to secure hair from the wind and also get into texturing the hair with special formulated winter shampoos.
Skin style is about ease and simplicity and the make up has to be based with a moisturizer. Use a neat lip gloss for the office chic look and do the hair up with a bun to go along with a stocking layered mini skirt in black or grey. Winters are a time to experiment with denims. Invest in good T shirts or inners resembling the ganji look. This is fantastic for teen collection with full sleeved polo shirts with flashy messages.
Use the stole-cum-dupatta as a winter accessory and leave it loose around the neck or cover the same artistically with half of it flowing around the shoulder. Bike jackets in orange, green and flashy shiny suede colors are still in this winter. Though a costly investment, this is a sure style accessory. Using thermal socks is also a good idea if you are getting into sneakers for your causal party.
There are spell binding styles in Indian embroided silks and woven woolen items. Use a casual poncho and a scarf which is hand embroided. Get some stuff from the locals in the hill stations and sew up a frock in knit variety. Woolen wear need not be layers of unmanageable stuff as there are neat options in thermal inners, jackets and soft cardigans.
