Come Spring Summer season and you would be all ready to get garbed in your easy and comfortable casuals. While none would want to pick a highly complicated silhouette making dressing a tedious task, so apt accessorizing can possibly be the best way out. In summers, you often tend to pick the calm and lighter shades of white, yellow, oranges, pinks and hints of red here and there. In tandem with this, we decided to help you juggle up your accessory wardrobe and pick some chic and stylish colourful pieces such as bags, sandals, jewel items, sunglasses etc., to let you define a unique style statement. Remember that combining your outfit with perfect accessories can do wonders and add glamour to your personality!
Here are some of the accessory trends that are popular:
  • High Heels: Classy and dazzling high heel pumps or sandals are going to rule the season. Don’t forget to get your feet in a fabulous condition as you are going to wear bright colored strappy heels. Make sure that your overall look is not too loud and decked up otherwise you will end up looking like a festooned Christmas tree.
  • Neon Printed Scarves: The bright and trendy scarves that you see this spring are from the previous spring and they are back again in neon shades. Wear them over your tees, tank tops or any other top that seems right to you. Just make sure you carry them nicely.
  • Aviators: they are back with a bang. Everything that was old is new again. So it goes with Aviator Sunglasses too. The trend is towards larger aviators with thin silver metal frames. This is an accessory that will suit everyone and with every look.
  • Oversized clutches: they look extremely elegant and chic and it can be carried with any look. You can comfortably carry your daily essentials, and yet, you can maintain your glam look. The best thing about large clutches is the style factor. You can use them for any kind of outing.
  • Floral statement pieces: As you know flowers are a real hit this season. They aren’t only featured as prints on clothing, shoes and bags. They also influence the shape of necklaces and rings. They come in all kinds of jewellery. Necklaces, rings, bracelets, hair pins and other jewellery pieces from Spring/ Summer 2012 collections have been inspired by flowers.
  • Masculine Watches: Go bold this season with huge manly watches. Along with the bright colours and floral prints, manly watches are popular too. Like the cuff, gold watches are preferred. Don’t miss this hot trend that will make you stand apart.
  • Broad Belts: slim is out and fat is in! Fret not we are not talking about your look, but your belts. Store those thin skinny belts and add colorful earthy tone thick broad belts to cinch your dresses, tops and lowers. Keep it high above your waist and look cool.
  • Vintage Sunglasses: These days, it isn’t just the new and modern which is fashionable, but also the retro fashions specially in eyewear.  Trendy people are shopping for rare vintage sunglasses.
  • Go Golden: Gold watches are in again, when dressing for day-to-night, flashy golden timepieces signal authority and class. Sport one solo during office meetings before layering it up with multiple thin bangles. Either way, it's a must for the woman of the hour.
P.S this season is all about bold prints and vibrant shades. So its time for you to toss away black mundane outfits and usher in colors into your wardrobe...

Rendezvous With Street Style


If we’re talking Street Style, you know we’re talking of the eccentric, the quirky and the kind of style that makes a statement. If it’s been a while since you caught up on the latest trends and if you are willing to use some tips, you are at the right place. Each fine detail either makes or mars your look. Point worth keeping in mind is that the fashion circles always  give a thumbs up to clashing prints which you may have already got in your wardrobe. Experiment, mix and match what you own and play with contrasts. Complementing extreme shades is something you should keep in mind.

There is a wide spectrum of vibrant string of clothes ranging from apple green to royal purple or fluoro orange to sunshine yellow that you can choose. Structured dresses and wild graphic prints and patterns are in vogue. The focus is on prints and colours of clothes with a fashion-forward edge. For your denims, sport shades of red, orange, blue, purple and other pastels. High waists, skinny jeans and straight cuts are seen on the runways.

The outfit is incomplete without a relevant hairstyle which must go hand in hand. Braided updos are much in fashion. On the red carpet too, plenty of Boho braids have been dominant lately. Expect to see more of this in the coming days. The subtle addition of a braid can add a flirtatious appeal and transform a plain daytime look into an updo for a night out. Braided buns are another style to flaunt.  

As for the accessories, belt bag is a nice idea. Stick to small and go for squares in terms of shape. Opt for flats instead of the big ones. A skinny belt in blue or pink would pep up your look greatly. For the right footwear, go for the feminine styles like wedges, high heels, ballet flats, and ankle boots as these make the Street trend complete.
