“ Bermuda, Bahama , come on pretty mama”



  There’s something about the humid air this season, which makes us feel that we are a part of a tropical rainforest somewhere in the Amazon - sometimes the rain, sometimes the sun! Though  fashion always keeps up, by inspiring us to inject a tropical vibe into our daily dressing! From Palm trees to Pineapple’s , create your own fashion paradise by using some of the seasons coolest prints.

  Wearing bright colours like neon yellow’s and tangerine brights brings out the colour of our beautiful indian skin tone. These colours when matched with prints make you stand out in a crowd. So, ditch the boring black pants and go for something unusual like tropical print leggings. This trend is sizzling in high street fashion as everyone from a 20 something to their late 30’s is adopting this style with great enthusiasm! The palm tree motif works well on a yellow dress , when styled with the right nude pumps. It adds a touch of retro to the look. Team this look up with red hot lips and curls and your good too go from poolside to bar-side in no time.

 Another interesting way to spruce up your daily style is to always add a thin layer over a plain white tee. Add a tropical motif’ed kimono styled over-layer instead of a black blazer  to complete a basic look for work. The same Kimono can be styled over shorts and tank top with slippers for a walk by the beach when on holiday. It can also be worn as a great cover up over a bikini too! 

   The Palm Tree print adds a spur of happiness to your holiday ensemble. It carries a relaxed yet stylish vibe for a short summer trip or a fun weekend getaway with your best friends! Palm Tree motif accessories are brewing up to be quite the style rage.Gold earrings and charm bracelets lend themselves quite well when wearing a simple skater dress for a shopping date to the mall!

  This trend is definitely taking over the fashion radar with its chaotic mix of flaura, fauna, forests, gardens and what not! We still love to find beauty in its madness by wearing it in the right way! I was a non believer in the beginning but I must warn you this is definitely a style addiction! 


 Fashions biggest names like Salvatore Ferregamo, Altuzarra and Stella Mc Cartney have embraced the tropical trend in a big way! They have advised avid style lovers to own key pieces like maxi skirts , palazzo pants and a great jacket to work this trend to its maximum potential. So do not be afraid and bring out your inner starlet!

Who doesn't love a great outfit during the biggest season of the year?  So embrace your favourite Diwali outfit with a wonderful ethnic yet contemporary accent called the Kolhapuri! 

   The history of a Kolhapuri lies in  its hand crafted leather and how they were locally tanned by vegetable dyes to give them that gorgeous colour!
