Summer Fashion
Summer means liquid gold painting nature; summer means worshipping the air conditioner; summer means trying to beat-the-heat with the swag and, of course, being in vogue. Summer of 2016 made Kolkata's temperature soar and gave the designers a perfect opportunity to rack their brains and come up with dresses which are classy for the world but "easy breezy" to the person carrying it with the élan.
● For a simple day out with buddies :
“Fashion is life and just like life, you must always express your feelings freely”--Andrea Amanda Ndiaye. These words by the graceful lady pretty much sum up the style-statement for summer. To be the statement, you must keep faith in Andrea’s statement. The meets with friends, which you absolutely adore, prove to be disastrous when it comes to dressing up. Fear of being mocked about one’s sartorial sense and the deep urge to wear nothing but shorts and tees start the personal battle. To keep it easy, yet classy and perfect, one can opt for a capacious kimono top and a pencil skirt. The white sneakers, which people are going gaga over, can complete the look. The hair can be pulled up neatly in a top knot and make-up should be minimal. One can opt for bold red lips. Accessorise the look with a pair of geek glasses.
● The family meet :
“Fashion is about suspense, surprise and fantasy. It’s not about rules.”—Wolfgang Joop. The family meets; well, they sometimes have that tiniest conservative twang which makes you hesitate a bit before wearing shorts. Yet, your status as the fashionista among your cousins CANNOT change. To play the safe card is to wear a dress with the hemline touching the knees. Keep the look as airy as possible. The dress can be a traditional khadi shirt dress or a cotton shirt dress. Opt for the stone-washed blue colour. Team it up with black dungarees. Accessorise the look with gladiator glasses. Tanned loafers will complete the look. Lips can have a reddish tint. Do not forget the fedora.
● The evening party
“Elegance is the beauty that never ends”—Audrey Hepburn. The evenings are clammy, but the breeze is quite soothing. To enjoy the “Boishakh” feeling, one can opt for a sophisticated bong-western look. One can do a little bit of art work; spend around 30 minutes to draw a Jamini Roy design on a sleeved black crop top or on a sleeved orange silk crop top. Team it up with floral shorts. Use bronze chokers. Do the hair in a messy bun. Winged eyes and red lips lend the perfect touch of elegance. If one has the time, they can embellish their feet with the traditional “alta”. Complete the look with a black bindi. Opt for black lace up heels. Wear a bronze headgear but make sure it’s not a large piece as this can exaggerate the look.
Apart from these, one can easily make their own style and set the trend. The more unique the style, the better.
