1. Miranda House

The graduation night at Miranda House is quite simply, the best. Hundreds of girls from the graduating batch make up the night with their eye catching sarees. Ayotakshee Roy, a student of Economics at Miranda House chose to wear a yellow-orange saree inspired by the sunset!

[quote]Given a choice, my preference always lies with darker shades. But for Graduation Dinner, my mum made me try something I personally wouldn’t even have touched at the shop since it’s just so bright. After scanning a number of shops in South Ex and Lajpat Nagar, we finalized on this yellow ombre saree matched with a thread-work blouse from a boutique in Sarojini Nagar. Yellow just isn’t my colour, but then there’s something so calming about sunsets.

Dosvidaniya 2016, the farewell event of Department of Commerce saw a lot of bold fashion choices. Shubham Aggarwal chose to go bold and original with his blue coloured suit.

[quote]Guys hardly have any choice of outfit when it comes to suits. What’s special in a black suit and tie anymore? I decided to go a different way for my farewell. – Shubham Aggarwal

3. College of Vocational Studies

Sudisha, from English Hons. at College of Vocational Studies chose not to follow the trend of wearing sarees at the college farewells. Her decision of wearing a plain black kurta with golden earrings, bangles and golden heels got her a Miss Farewell title!

[quote]I wanted to stand out. Everyone normally wears a saree, but it wasn’t mandatory as the theme was ethnic. Besides, black is my favourite colour and it goes so well with golden accesories – Sudisha [/quote]

 

4. Jesus and Mary College

Vani Vivek, a Commerce student from Jesus and Mary College had never worn a saree before, so she went to her mother for help. Turns out that she wore her mother’s saree instead of buying a new one.

[quote]I hadn’t worn a saree before so I heavily relied on my mother’s experience with sarees, and actually ended up wearing one of hers rather than buying a new one. It’s a chiffon leheriya that she picked up from Jaipur, I liked it for its light, breezy feel and the fresh colour. I didn’t want to wear an itchy or a heavy blouse so I went the handloom route with a yellow cotton ikkat one. I really enjoyed wearing the two patterns together! – Vani Vivek[/quote]

In the pulsating city of Delhi, the DU students make for the energetic young bloods who know what they want to achieve and how to raise a voice for it. However, they also believe that to add to the boldness of their personalities, a raw Indian look is a must. And, that is how began the ‘Great Indian Trend’ tales!

Not only that, the girls here are obsessed with the wackiness, the colours and the varieties that originate from the roots of India. If you wish to taste a tad bit of this trend, Wooplr has penned down a list of 10 things that every Desi Diva should possess in her closet. Here, take a look :

1. Quirky Kurtas

If there could be a better replacement for casual tees, it is kurtas. Free, fun and expressive; what more could we ask for? The best part about purchasing these kurtas is that each looks different and has a different mood to it. They are colourful and can be styled for various occasions.

2. Jazzy Jutties

Looking to spruce up a dull outfit? Go on, add a pair of spunk to your OOTD by including fun jutties. Mirrored, embroidered or embellished; you will be spoilt for choices. Whether an Indian or a western outfit, it will undoubtedly break your shoe monotony.

3. Bewitching Bindis

We grew up seeing our mom put on a beautiful bindi on her forehead, which would instantly light up her face. A mother’s style mantra never fails to entice the world and we’re inspired too. Borrow some inspiration and try on a bindi to complement your kurti or suit outfit. We’re sure you will dazzle with this one!

4. Joyful Jhumkas

Whether in DU or not, a jhumka is a must-have accessory for every Delhi girl. A beautiful jhumka can instantly brighten up any outfit and add immediate charm to one’s face. A desi diva always knows how to let her jhumkis do all the talking!

5. Kajal Kamikaze

The eyes are a mirror to your soul and it’s only right to enhance it. Every DU girl is a kohl addict, whether it is worn as a liner over the eye or under it. No makeup bag is complete without this beauty basic. It compliments both Indian and western wear so well. So, when you put on your patialias or short kurtas, don’t forget to line those beautiful eyes with kohl. One stroke of it and you know you’ll be an instant head turner.

6.Bangle Blaze

When you decide upon an outfit, make sure that you think it through with all the accessories too.

If being a desi girl is your style of the day, then add on some bangles to match it up with your salwaar or contrast it too. A kada, chunky bangles or lots of glass bangles- we love it all! In fact, even when you wear an all-black outfit, bangles can be the standout factor. Bangles are worth to be flaunted, so don’t forget to pick the best!

7. Patiala Patola

Borrowed from the Punjabi culture and most widely adopted by the girls of DU, Patialas are definitely for the Patola kudis! Patiala salwars are the best saviours when you don’t feel like dressing up and want to be comfortable. If you think these salwars work best with short kurtas, let us introduce you to the trend of baggy tees that can compliment them perfectly. Think Kareena Kapoor in Jab We Met.

8. Dupatta Indulge

This one is dedicated to all you Bollywood lovers. You can add a dash of your own drama and vibe to this one by including it in your outfit. Colourful, printed and with cute little latkans; there are too many options to choose from. As a dupatta, stole or even scarf, you can style it up the way you want. Its super easy, we promise. The star of the season has been the phulkari dupatta, so go, get them!

9. Joyful Jholas

Arm candies do make for great eye-candies! Spreading their wonders worldwide for several years now, jhola bags with embroidered and Indian artwork are certainly a catch that you shouldn’t miss out on. Make these bags your style statement and we assure you that no other accessory would be needed to make you look exquisite!

10. Pretty Printed Wrap-Arounds

It’s every DU girls’ personal favourite! If there is any Indian print you have not yet explored, you should be on a wrap-around skirt hunt. You will easily find such skirts with beautiful traditional block prints like paisley, elephant prints and tribal ones in rustic colours to make it look more desi.

Living in Delhi, everyone is habituated to at least two things- the scorching summers and almost frosty winters! Bidding goodbye to the summers and welcoming the cover-me-up winters is definitely the most awaited time of the year for every girl. Why? Well, it’s just another time of the year to play dress up. And DU girls sure know how to play dress up and make a statement. There sure is something about the winter wardrobe. But apart from this, there are 5 things, every DU girl has an obsession for during the winter season. Here’s what they are:

1. Lusting For Leather!

Irrespective of the seasons, the DU-ites have an irresistible lust for leather. Whether in the form of accessories or attires, you will find students in awe of rugged leather. If you have friends in DU, your ears might be tired of hearing, ‘yaar, iss bar sardiyo me leather jacket lena hai!’. Yes, their winter bucket list always has a leather jacket. And, why not! It’s the most warm material for the weather here. You can be warm and still manage to be the diva of your college! We suggest that you go in for a tan brown or a ruby instead of the usual blacks and browns?

2. Let Your Boots Be The Hero!

Believe it or not, boots give a stiff competition to a girl’s favourite pair of heels. Some DU girls don’t even wait for the winds to be as chilly to get their seasonal heroes out. The loyalty that even their boyfriends won’t get. Mind you! They are not the kind who would opt to play it safe in black boots. In fact, they love showing off their unique boots with the most daring details.

3. Because They Love To Hug Their Wools!

And finally, the woolens won’t suffocate anymore. It’s about time we bring them out and give them a good rub. While sweaters and mufflers are common among the girls, the centre of attraction is always that one favorite woolen beanie you put on! Don’t forget to check out the latest trends in woolen wear before you go on your next winter shopping spree!

4. Lazy As They Are, The Baggy Hoodies Are Here To Stay!

Our rigid perceptions about guys being the laziest creatures on this planet were boggled by a handful of DU girls when they told us one reason they love winters is because they wouldn’t have work on their looks too much and still look stylish! The front shelf of their closet will always be occupied with the most baggy hoodies that they can pull of amazingly with denims and give a kick start to their day at college. You know what? Make hoodies your best friend for letting you enjoy some extra sleep time in the morning!

5. Secret crush? It’s the Winter Blush!

Are you also one of those who waits for December just to get this glowy skin tone with just the perfect pink blush on your cheeks? Well, if you are, the wait is about to get over. Keep your blush ons back in your kits and get ready for the natural one! You can always play a lot with your eyes in this make up friendly weather, but, all thanks to it, you are definitely not going to waste too much time on doing your face. And, just for the record, if you do have some secret crush for real, isn’t ‘Winter blush’ the perfect con?

For all the believers of destiny, it wrote for each one of us, three years, that were purely dedicated for a phase called ‘young and reckless!’. This phase starts when we enter the college and ends when we finally grow up to face the realities of life! While, in these years, we tend to do what everyone would do, behave like we are the coolest alive but, wear what we really love to wear. How others would think about your style is something that you will never pay heat to. And, that is how the humans of Delhi University, created a trend of its kind – Campus Style, the young, wild and reckless Fashion that you will only find in DU and nowhere else. What you might not know is that the girls here have their own Fashion secrets. How about we leak out some to you?

 

  1. SHIRT IT UP!

For the usual lousy days at college, the girls at DU prefer to keep it light. No! They won’t specially go for a casual shopping spree, they will rather sneak into their guy friends’ cupboards and steal their shirts. Checkered or striped shirts with rolled up sleeves and denims make a perfect free day college look for them. They might as well feel like dressing up sometimes, but, for the rest, they are absolutely in love with their shirts! So, if you’re DU lover, we are sure you have aced this trick by now!

 

2. JIFFY JUNK!

With due respect to the late nights and late wake ups, these girls still know how to sizzle up their look in a jiffy! They won’t give much time to their look, but, their Junk jewellery will be up for a save. A clump of bangles on one hand, a worn leather band on the other and the most pretty looking jhumkis has always been the perfect route to styling for them. And, the main reason why they have an undying bend towards street shopping is the junk jewellery that they spot from anywhere and everywhere.

 

3. POUT OUT!

Being in college, makeup would be the last resort for any girl. What makes them look sinfully stunning is their ‘no-makeup’-makeup look. Irrespective of all the essentials in their bag, you will find the most poppy shades of lip colors in them undoubtedly. One hot pink shade on their lips, aviators, and they are pout ready! But, if you think it’s all about being jazzy, let us remind you they are also in love with the nudes! Afterall, that is how they define campus styling. The main make mantra for these gorgeous girls is – ‘Pout out and K.I.S.S’, Keep it simple silly!

 

4. HELLO ARM CANDIES!

What intrigues us the most about DU is how these DU Divas have a secret collection of Bags in their trunks! From fringed slings, to spongebob backpacks to rugged leather bucket bags, you name it and they have it. The catch though, is that they honestly follow the bag bible and know it right when to carry which bag to complete their looks. For the skater dress girly look, they have their cute slings out while for the ripped jeans attire, they will hop out of their houses with their backpacks on! Unaware of this trick? You definitely need to get out for some bag shopping!

 

5. I’M FEELING ‘EM SHOES!

And, when you hear ‘after diamonds, shoes are a girl’s best friend!’, it falls completely true for a DU girl. They do know their shoes well! Among the massive amount of women traveling in metro, if you spot ladies in their quirky slippers, it goes without a guess that they are from Delhi University. ‘Opt for the easy way out, but, don’t forget to nail it!’ – is what they believe. Thong sandals are their regular summer flings and for winters, ‘oo la la!’, the leather boots are out! And hey! Don’t forget how toms became popular in Delhi! All credits to DU girls and their fun cravings!

 

The style secrets are out ladies, get going with these fun tricks and do tell us when all eyes are on you in your college. Think you can add to this list? Download the Wooplr app and reveal some of your campus style secrets! ASAP!

Over the years, Delhi University has not only bestowed us with great minds, but, created identities that have marked a history in the field of fashion. Popular Designers, Bloggers, Fashionistas, this list of personalities drawing a massive hierarchy of personal style just doesn’t end. While some have found their distinct places where their names will be called out and paparazzi would strike them like a storm, for the rest, there has been a special wall of stardom at Wooplr which never stops showering them with love. Let’s meet our top 10 Fashion Icons from the various colleges of DU who are racing their way up on the Fashion Reign :

 

  1. SALONI SEHRA

Being the Miss Fresh Face of her time, Saloni belongs to a college where you’ll see two varied communities of Fashionistas. While one community believes in following an everyday college style, the other has divas like Saloni, who believe in turning heads towards them with their runway ready fashion. She is one of the reasons why Kalindi college is known for it’s beauties. Never will you find her repeating her looks, or attires. And, talking about photographs, she will never be tired of flaunting her fashion in them.

  1. LENTINA LONGKUMER

Speak of simplicity, speak of Lady Shri Ram College! It is one college where the girls don’t do words, they follow the word of being effortlessly stylish. Holding this value strong, Lentina is one such loyalist at Wooplr who has always kept her style elementary and personality strong. When you see her, not only will you wish to own such a comfortable collection for college, but, you will feel such positivity in her fashion that you wouldn’t be able to stop yourself from knowing her deeper. The girl who can nail a plain maxi dress with such poise, definitely knows a lot of fashion.

  1. NIKITA JAIN

Gargi College – ‘THE’ college where all that girls do apart from their lectures is great fashion! Being a student of such a college, you automatically tend to follow a trendy breed no matter how off you are with styling. Similar is the case with Nikita Jain, with the only difference being, that she was born with a fashionable spoon. She follows the mantra – ‘The shorter, the better!’. While she is obsessed with her tiny bodycon dresses and hot pants, she is also a once in a blue moon surprise package with her indian wear. The question is, who should we thank for such an amazing fashion discovery, DU or Nikita herself?Wooplr Nikita Jain

 

 

  1. PRATIKSHA KAKKAR

At Wooplr, you’ll find smoking fashion influencers, and then, you will find, unbearably cute faces like that of Pratiksha! Pursuing her UG course at Lady Irwin College, she has almost completed her masters in being a Fashion icon of a kind. From a college whose fashion society has a record of being the topmost for more than two years, it was really hard to spot a girl that got our heart melting. What makes her different is that, she knows her shoes quite well! You will never find her in the same footwear, and make-up, oh! you haven’t seen her enough! Despite of being a brand-baby, she does the street-style quite right!

5. NAYANA ROY CHOUDHURY

Coming as complete astonishment, is this combination of sugar and spice and everything nice, Nayana Roy Choudhury! The surprise is not in how sinfully fashionable she is, but, the fact that ARSD college, has such gems hidden in its treasure. So, just in case you thought that the DU Fashion is saturated in a handful colleges, she is here to prove you wrong! Her idea of fashion is to always create a twist and turn out of a normal outfit and write a story that could justify the worth of her purchases. While simple is an everyday tale, her thing is to spice it up with grace!

  1. ARSHDEEP KAUR

Being the pioneers of vogue in Delhi University, Kamla Nehru College gets its fame through sizzles like Arshdeep. Having associations with her fashion society in the college, she owes every bit of her chicness to it! She feels that a personal style might be inborn, but, fashion, is a learning process that wouldn’t end till you cross an age where you fall for your whites! We love how she loves her lipshades and flaunts her reflectives just with the right ray of sun falling on her.

  1.  BHUMIKA POPLY

If you’re wondering which college to head to if you want your three years to be one big fashion carnival, then, it is none other than Guru Gobind Singh College of Commerce! Just as how crazy this college is, Bhumika is our crazy find from there, whose first impression to us always remains, ‘Hello Happiness!’. Having a hardcore fetish for prints, you will spot bhumika in amazing ranges of prints every time you see her. And, mind you! When we say ranges, her collection of prints just would not reach a zenith. She is one cute head who set the stage on fire with the hotness in her fashion.

  1. SRIJONI ROY

‘Bored? Let’s style up!’ – With styling checked among her favorite pass time, Srijoni is one fashionista, you’d look at and question her of being a student at Miranda House, or at any college for a fact. With a touch of professionalism in her styling, she never fails to lose out on any attention in her college. She might seem a quiet person to you initially, but, she will be at her best when she is in her perfect attire, which is everyday! She has her own moods when it comes to her daily looks. While, at times, she is all quirky, and at times, she is this elegant Indian lady brimming with a unique sense of style!

wooplr srijoni

  1. MONIKA KAPOOR

‘They say, if you want to find the typical ‘dilli girl’, then Daulat Ram College is your place to be!’ We weren’t really sure of this quote, until we came across, Monika, who has got that perfect DRC vibe in her, making us believe, that irrespective of the fact that you’re a delhiite or not, DU, will make you one, at least with your fashion! She has a closet that can bring any girl in envy of her. Street shopping is her choice for college wear, and for formal occasions, she hits to destinations that would remain a big secret. The exclusivity, though, is not in the place where she shops from, but, the way she moulds it to her personal touch!

  1. UZMA RIYAZ

One of our oldest fashion influencers, Uzma is the Wooplr sweetheart. She walks on the path that says, ‘Don’t over-do, but, do what you think is right!’. She is a very simple girl when it comes to fashion, but, when it comes to looking a class apart, she knows how to make a kill with her sophistication. The catch for her is the uniqueness of an outfit and bling, what bling? Pursuing Psychology honors from Lady Shri Ram College, she is an amazing mind reader and that’s how she manages to leave a lasting mark on great minds with her jaw-dropping Forever 21 Fashion!
