Style tips

For Women
>Layering: Mixing and matching different lengths is hot this season.
>Strong colour pieces: A white shirt with nude heels and a hot pink pair of shorts will make a statement. One bold colour in an otherwise muted outfit will make a style statement.
>Eccentricity: It should stand out quirky prints, cuts, textures, etc are always in vogue.

For men
>Colour is in, in a big way: Don’t opt for safe shades any more.
>India-inspired looks: A kurta-inspired shirt, pyjamas, are back in fashion
>Men have become more fashion conscious. It’s not a woman’s domain anymore.
