The Clouds Have Reigned Upon Us, So has Style.




  We’re definitely not writing about a typical monsoon post of using an umbrella or a pair of gumboots to style yourself silly during this time of the year ; but we will write about how a man can add some sartorial delight to his wardrobe during the gloomy season!

  The rains haul over us for over 3 months bringing beauty and gloom ; which kind of motivates us to bring out clothes that not only lift our spirits, but also make us look good. So here’s an article on how we edited  Blogger Tejeshwar Sandhoo’s looks down to Monsoon styling!

Just because its pouring outside, that doesn't mean you dress down. Dandify your wardrobe up with a Navy hue. Wear a Monochrome short suit set with a Navy Tee and your everyday sneakers to battle the puddles on your way to meeting your friends for drinks!

  The next look can be edited down for a Sunday Brunch! It’s relaxed , floral off course , Bright and requires confidence to wear it! We like how its styled with a similar coloured Tee inside but the print is different. This is definitely giving us some Print on Print goals.

Tejeshwar is wearing : Sailex

The last look is our favourite. Its simple, its graphic and its Black. If you have no clue on what to wear to that movie your rushing for, pick a pair of rolled up pants or Joggers and a crisp black tee!

LONDON FASHION WEEK DECODED



The 63rd London Fashion week this season boasted of all things glamorous , feminine and Punk! Yes we said Punk! Preen and Alexander Mc queen have revived punk in a fabulous manner and the fashion industry is definitely loving it !

From buttons to zips to sequins , London fashion week has revived everything we love and care about detailing.  As mentioned above Preen brought about cocktail dressing to a whole new level. There was a pink sequin dress from head to toe , that was styled with an oversized  fur coat which mixed punk sensibility with party glamour.  Burberry had brocade tennis dresses that fitted into  the modern glamour category. Christopher Kane on the other hand had its models in feathers and Fringes. Quite noteworthy we must say, but still a little over the top with its embellishments.


Dwelling deeper in to the infrastructure of London Fashion Week, lets dissect Mulberry too. Mulberry’s show boasted of gorgeous slip dresses with sexy button down shirts layered under and there is not even one coat that we wouldn't wear from this collection!  Also how can we forget about Alexander McQueen. Sarah Burton, creative director of Mcqueen decorated her looks with surreal art like pocket watches and sinister florals. She also revived Creeper shoes and delicate hairpins. This sort of juxtaposition in style can only be seen and accepted in great legends like Mcqueen  or even Vivienne Westwood!









There was lots too the eyes delight this season at London Fashion Week. Hope you fashionistas pick some trends off the runway and style yourself in a unique way, filled with eccentricity and love!
