Indian Fashion
In comparison to the US, India generally has a
less revealing sense of fashion. Clothes have less skin exposure, fit more
loosely, & incorporate bright colors. This stems from a mixture of hot
weather & a more reserved culture.

are a few suggestions we have for fashion.
Casual Outing: What seems to be one of the easiest occasions
can sometimes be the most difficult to prepare for. For starters, remember that
you can never go wrong with a pair of cuffed high-waisted denim jeans or some
denim overalls. Pair these with an off-the-shoulder blouse, and some simple
sneaks, and you’re good to go! This look is best served with loose beach waves
for an effortlessly chic result. If you’re going out during the day, pair your
outfits with big, round sunglasses worn by Bollywood stars and even Beyonce herself.

Office: Who says you can’t simultaneously work a 9-5 while dressed to
slay? Do keep in mind you don’t have to do any crazy wardrobe changes; simple
adjustments make a big difference. Switch up your color palette to brighten up
your workspace! We suggest keeping the white button down, but exchanging your
dark skirt or slacks with some millennial pink palazzo pants for a festive
touch. Millennial pink is arguably the trendiest color to date, so why not experiment with it? Though the
trend may have started in the U.S., people are doing it all over the world, in
India, Brazil, and the United States. A pair of nude heels will do wonders for
you in this case. As for your crown jewel, because we aren’t going to leave your
hair hanging (literally), try pulling your hair back into a high ponytail for a
put together, sleek look.

Night Out: Upgrade your little black dress by adding some dimension to it:
cutouts and textures are always a plus. Additionally, this classic is malleable
enough to be dressed up or down. Add some va-va-voom to your ensemble with a neon clutch or printed heels, and your look is almost complete. You’re letting loose and having fun, so why not complement your outfit with lush, bouncy
curls? Whether you’re going on a date or headed for a fun night out with the
girls, this look is a guaranteed winner.

Exercise:
Avoid cotton at all costs & leave that old, stretched-out shirt at home. Not only is it a bad fashion
statement, but cotton absorbs sweat that doesn’t release quickly with
evaporation. Instead, go with a moisture wicking fabric. Brands like Nike,
Under Armour, & Lululemon will have plenty of options. Cheaper option
include Old Navy, Target, & outlet malls.

Last, but not least, the hair is the crown jewel
of any look and often times is the last things a person will consider while
they’re getting ready. We get it: clothes can be finicky and difficult. Makeup
has to be painstakingly applied (depending on your look), and accessories are
just as important as a pair of shoes, but do we have to keep pretending that
showing your hair no love is helping you serve looks? Seriously, don’t sleep on
your hair. It can make or break your entire aesthetic.
