Stylists swear by them, college girls love them and working professionals can’t get enough of them. Street-side shops are a treasure trove of chic and comfortable outfits that don’t burn a hole in your wallet
Gone are the days when Fashion Street was one of the few places in the city that stocked the trendiest and cheapest apparel for women. Over the years, Hill Road and Linking Road in Bandra and Colaba Causeway in tony Mumbai have evolved as fashion hubs in the metropolis that have the latest outfits and accessories.
Though high-end stores stock apparel that have excellent cuts and silhouettes and luscious textures, when you aren’t in the mood to splurge but still want to look your best, street wear is a good option.

Also, with trends changing every season, it makes perfect sense to pick up budget-friendly outfits so that you can upgrade your wardrobe more frequently. Make heads turn with these looks without burning a hole in your pocket.
Night out
Coral is the flavour of this season. It is one of the few shades that compliments all skin tones. Opt for a coral dress and team it up with a statement neckpiece, preferably in a contrasting colour. Complete the look with minimalistic earrings and flats.
Why should black always be the colour of the night? It can be coral too!
