To help you look your best this in this edition of the ‘Fest Season’, we bring to you 5 fashion trends that you can follow. Who needs a celebrity when you can be the star of your own party, right?

1. Plaid Shirt

Don’t underestimate the power of simplicity. It’s often the simple things that make the maximum impact. A plaid shirt exemplifies this fashion principle. You can wear it buttoned up, unbuttoned or better still, tied around the waist with a tank top! How cool is that?



2. Leggings

These evergreen pair of lowers are so versatile: pair them with a jersey for a sporty look or with a kurti for a fusion look or with a crop top for a party look! Make sure you get one to your fit. And then pick a look that’s comfortable, yet super trendy!


3. Buttoned-up Skirt

A debater, a scholar, a fashionista, she is more of an outdoors person who likes to run 6-8 km a day, just to clear her head. She is an ‘Army Brat’, but an unlikely one. Reading a book by lantern light in a tent by the banks of river Indus after a hard day’s trek in the mountains is her idea of bliss. She wants to be an investment banker but admits that writing lets her escape into a world of ‘Strawberry Fields Forever’.
