  • Men’s Fashion 103: Let Lecoanet Hemant teach you how its done right!

    Men’s Fashion 103: Let Lecoanet Hemant teach you how its done right!

    The Indo-French label Lecoanet Hemant showcased their Fall/Winter’15 collection in the capital recently and we can’t wait to get our hands on it! The uber talented minds behind the brand, Didier Lecoanet and Hemant Sagar have travelled a long way across continents and are now planning to expand their reach pan-India starting with New Delhi.

    Held at their atelier in Infocity, Gurgaon; the duo presented their latest collection named ‘Here and Now’ with a fashion show for their pret label ‘Genes’.

    Our favourite pick of the lot was the menswear designed by Lecoanet Hemant that stole the show and here’s why!

     

     1) No one does activewear better than this!

    Simple, comfortable and most of all – stylish, was the range of active/sportswear that kicked off the show. T-shirts, cutoffs and track pants with the perfect accessories completed their look.

    2) Their casual ensemble rocked the runway!

    Jackets, boots, gloves and t-shirts with spectacular scarves made heads turn as these dapper dudes strutted down the pixelated aisle decked with lights.

    3) Their formal attire with a hint of pop!

    Business suits, formal shoes, pockets squares and cuffed bottoms paired with the perfect printed shirts/t-shirts set the best example of formal wear for the winter season.

    4) The Indian touch!

    Playing with short kurtas, wrap-around dhoti pants and bandhgala jackets in darker shades of winter made quite a statement on the runway adhering to designer Hemant’s Indian roots.

    5) Their lounge wear sure tells us how to lounge in style!

    We loved the fact that Lecoanet Hemant kept their loungewear very simple with minor detailing. Crisp shirts with tapered pants and just the right shoes gave us major style inspiration for this winter season!

  • Outfit of the week: Statement Stripes

    Outfit of the week: Statement Stripes

    A mainstay of both casual and formal wear, stripes have become a staple in every man’s wardrobe rather than just a trend. Seasonally appropriate and versatile, whether you are rocking striped pants, a striped suit, or layering a striped t-shirt under a blazer, this is a trend that everyone should get on board with. From Dior to Gucci, every brand has their own version of stripes taking the runways and the high street fashion by storm. Take a look at this week’s outfit of the week and get inspired.

    Different stripes have different effects on overall body shape and size. Horizontal stripes tend to make you look wider, while vertical stripes draw the eye down giving the illusion of length/height.

    Opt for thicker block-stripes or bold coloured motifs to bring a modern twist to this timeless pattern. Team up a bright tee with a pair of striped chino shorts and loafers for an off-duty look. Switch to trousers and a pair of blazers along with a striped shirt for a more evening-appropriate look.

  • 6 tasks you can accomplish while blow-drying your hair

    6 tasks you can accomplish while blow-drying your hair

    Blow drying hair is as important as taking a shower for a woman. So spending 20-30 minutes holding a dryer in their hand is something almost all women have to make their peace with. However, for the multi-tasking woman of today, it’s very difficult not to accomplish anything else while all that water evaporates from her hair. We understand that feeling very well and that is why we’ve got you a list of recommendations.

    Here are six tasks you can accomplish while blow-drying your hair on a daily basis.

     

    1) Start following that face mask regime you’ve been wanting to since years

    Haven’t you been procrastinating applying that face mask because of your fear of not being able to show your mask-ey face anywhere for 30 minutes? We say mix things up and blow dry your hair while that mask works wonders on your skin. Both skin and hair taken care of together! Sounds like an amazing start to a day, doesn’t it?

    hair-drying-mask
     
     

    2) Work on your booty

    We don’t always get time to work on our body. So why not utilise the blow-drying time towards doing some squats and making that booty look buff. Try it the next time and thank us.

    hair-dryer-squats
     
     

    3) Work those calves

    If squats get boring everyday then keep switching between them and calf raises. Calf raises are very important to show off those legs and might we say, very easy too! Just rise up until you are on your toes, lower back down and repeat.

    hair-dryer-calves
     
     

    4) Get that teeth-whitening treatment out

    Remember that teeth-whitening gel that needs to stay on your teeth for around half an hour? Make use of your blow-drying time to make your teeth look whiter. Apply the gel and leave it on while you do your hair. Easy peasy!

    5) Let that pedicure dry

    Every woman fears ruining her wet nail paint more than the world apocalypse. So before you start blow-drying your hair, give yourself a pedicure and let your nails and hair dry together.

    6) Give the ‘apply sunscreen 30 minutes before sun exposure’ rule a shot

    You know how every sunscreen label reads ‘apply all over thirty minutes before sun exposure’? Give that rule a shot! Apply your sunscreen lotion all over your face and body and blow-dry your hair after. Let the body soak in the sun protection while you dry your hair and exercise. 

    hair-dryer-last

    Remember this list of tasks you can accomplish while blow-drying your hair next time you’re at it and walk out of the house with a beautiful smile.

    10 essential shoes every woman must have in her wardrobe

    It’s true that a woman can never have too many shoes however there are basics when it comes to footwear as well. A woman can have as many shoes as she wants in fact the bigger the shoe closet, the better it is but having these ten pairs will make your life much easier.

    Black and nude pumps really go a long way, for work and otherwise too. To add a bit of variation, one may want to purchase a pair of strappy stilettos with small details. It’s important to have a pair of flat shoes, so we suggest buying a pair of powder blue/lilac ballerina flats. Feel the need to break away from the usual? Get a pair of tan wedges and let them be your comfort shoes for those days when you don’t feel like putting in too much time in dressing up.

    For you winter needs, get a pair of black ankle-length booties and tan leather knee-length boots. A pair of sports shoes according to your fitness needs and  a pair of loafers is a must for days you crave comfort. Take a look at this info graphic to understand these 10 essential shoes every woman must have in her wardrobe.
