Trend: Retro sunglasses
The designer: Narendra Kumar
We suspect Ray Ban's Wayfarer has a role to play in bringing retro shades back to attention. Like Nari did with his 80s-inspired showcase, you too could team them with a printed sports jacket or polka-dotted shorts.

Trend: Smart layering
The designer: Paromita Banerjee
Think beyond salwar-kameez and dupatta when we say layering. You can put together a chic Indo-Western ensemble by wearing a tunic over jeans or a churidar, slipping on jacket in organic fabric, and adding a final touch with quirky trinkets.


Trend: One-shoulder dress and kaftan
The designer: Malini Ramani
Send plunging necklines on a much-delayed vacation, and embrace one-shoulder garments. There's only
one thumb rule to follow here: choose the right innerwear.


Trend: Statement jewellery
The designer: Suhani Pittie
This season, put your wardrobe on a black-and-white diet, and let chunky jewellery (gold-plated, silver, copper or beaded) do the talking. Make sure your jewellery has a story to tell, whether about heritage or craftsmanship.
As seen At: Just-concluded Lakme Fashion Week.


Trend: The sari dress
The designer: Vizyon
This trend offers the ease of a dress but carries the grace of a sari. Can you go wrong with this combination? Great for a cocktail party.
