Now, this is what a challenge is. You need to mix and match, do what not to look trendy, but you might feel uncomfortable by completely transforming your looks into ‘Ultra Modern’ in the process of following the trend. Why don’t we mix both trend and our favorite ethnic wear and end up looking just ‘Wow’?
It is advisable to shop rather trendy clothes or accessories than expensive brands tags. Try to buy apparels, which can be put on for various occasions, not only one. For this, better do shopping of your casuals in flea markets than hi-fi malls.
Always 'mix and match' your apparel and accessories to the old ones of your wardrobe. Experiment with clothes and accessories. You can use new T-shirt with old jeans or new leggings with old kurti. Try long tops with dark leggings and ballerina slippers, Kolahpuri chappals or other flats. To add a fashion dash, wear a printed cotton scarf around your neck or your waist.
Choose the colours wisely for your casual apparel. Don’t go behind a specific colour rather select all the colours matching your skin tone. Neutral colours, such as white, beige, gray, navy and black are good choices for the pants, skirts and leggings because they almost go with every other colour. Fabrics are also an important element of your wardrobe. Natural fabrics, such as cotton, wool and linen never go out of style.
Keep your casuals simple as trendy patterns and specific colour combinations tend to become outdated within a year. If you want to maintain a stylish look with your casual clothes for a long time then go for simple designs or patterns. Choose polka dots, checks and floral designs for forever freshness.
Choose your fashion accessories matching to your wardrobe's clothes. The trend of fashion jewellery, belts, bags and scarves changes frequently in fashion so don’t invest in expensive one. Chunky or costume jewellery is perfect for any casual wear. You can choose embellished cotton, jute or canvas bags and belts to gel well with your casual clothes.
Add bold, bright, interesting designed necklaces, earrings and bracelets in your casual clothes. Forget fine gold or silver and add more fun and colour to your casual look.
Make the casual look of jeans and white shirt chic by using some bold costume jewellery like earring, necklace or bracelets.
Do not wear horizontal lines clothes as they will make you look wider than you really are. Instead, wear clothes with vertical lines.
Wear colours that look good with your skin tone. For example, if you are very pale, it is probably best to stay away from white and light pink T-shirts, tops and kurtis.
Match soft girly clothes and accessories with edgier clothes and accessories. For example, a light pink headband and pretty ballet flats with an indigo jeans and sheer black leggings.
What more we need? After all we are looking trendy not at the cost of our identity…
