In India, the year will be about the new standards of fashion, which shall be classy in appeal.
Men can comfortably pair formal wear with denim. Faded, stressed, torn denim trousers can now be worn but they should fit perfectly and go with sleek shoes, a smart shirt and a well-cut jacket. Checks can be combined with stripes and two opposing bright colors or ethnic patterns with classic or contemporary ones. Patterns are sure to appear in bright colors.
Trousers are going slim and shoulders structured. The monochromatic color scheme is back in fashion with hints of splashy colors. When it comes to denims, the ripped away is in with tones getting darker. Men’s accessories are turning sporty this year with a more casual look.
For men, it’s about sporting high-octane styles in lively colors.
Women are ready to welcome color back into their life, rather than the reliable black dress. And this includes work attire. Peaked shoulders are an absolutely suitable ready-to-wear trend. It is ideal for formal jackets, dresses and blouses.
