The 26^th edition of the India Fashion Week came to a close in the capital recently and there’s so much that happened at the 5-days extravaganza. It’s true that the biggest highlights of every fashion week are the designers and their collections that are sported on the runway by models, but hey, street style fashion plays an equally important role!

Spotted giving everyone major style inspirations were many bloggers, buyers, editors and fashion lovers at the Amazon India Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2016. Bright colours, floral and geometric prints, fringes and oxford shoes were a few things that dominated the street fashion. Take a look at the best of street style spotted at the Amazon India Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2016.

Sneakers, loafers and oxford shoes paired with shift dresses, maxi dresses, shorts and skirts were a common sight on each day. Making it our personal favourite for autumn/winter 2015, this style is definitely here to stay.

While some women chose to rock the sneaker trend at the Amazon India Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2016, we spotted many fashionistas flaunting the fringe trend with fringed bags, skirts and shorts.

Many trendy show goers also gave major wardrobe inspiration by wearing jumpsuits and overall’s.

Adding a twist to ethnic wear were many fashion forward ladies presenting sarees draped in unusual ways.

Not just women, we spotted many dapper dudes donning a fusion of Indian and western outfits, pairing dhotis and jodhpuri pants with blazers was a complete stand out!

Beards are still a huge trend amongst guys and they’re only getting with time. We spotted many ‘Movember’ men flaunting their beards and suits in different prints and textures probably prepping themselves for the ‘no shave november’!

Men’s fashion 102: colour of the season – military green

Making a comeback from last year’s runway is the colour of this season, military green. Associated with masculinity, this colour is all set to complement the vibrant and deeper shades of your wardrobe. Versatile and a whole lot more surprising, military green is an easy to wear colour for any age regardless of your style. From bloggers to celebrities almost everyone seems to be obsessed with this hue. Whether you go for classic olive, camouflage or military green, it is one wardrobe staple you must own.

Best part about this hit shade is that it can be worn just like any other neutral colour and is easy to team up with different shades.

Here’s how you can incorporate this colour to enhance your style quotient this fall.

1) Head-to-toe green

If you love green and are confident enough to embrace the head-to-toe look, you can pair different shades of darker and lighter green and get a subtle look. To complete the polished look, opt for bold colour accessories like belts.

2) Go monochrome

The easiest way to pull off this colour of the season is by mixing one standout item with your basics. Military green pairs very well with black and grey. Team a black shirt with green chinos for a formal yet classy look. Finish the look with leather shoes or boots.

3) Play with blue

Striking and sophisticated, military green pairs well with every shade of blue.

Consider pairing a denim shirt with olive chinos to get a laid-back look.

Fashion rules every man should follow at work

“The men of the world! You have the right to remain silent and read below!” The fashion police are here! You may be pretty confident about the way you dress at work (who isn’t?), but there are several other very important things every guy should keep in mind while dressing up for office!

Take a look at this crisp list of Fashion rules every man should follow at work!

1. Getting the right fit

Knowing the right size of the clothes you wear is extremely crucial. A slouchy ensemble or an over-fitted outfit is bound to reflect unappealingly on your personality.

Source

2. Avoid low waist bottom wear

If you want to look professional enough for people to take you seriously, stay away from low waist trousers and denims at work! It is plain wrong.

Source

3. When in doubt, go for brogues

Brogues are the must-have classics for men! If you’re unsure about what shoes to pick with those trousers you’ve recently bought, go for brogues. They come in different colours and are sure to make your dapper look stand out!

Source

4. Wear the right accessories

The right cufflinks and a cool watch are just about enough when it comes to accessorising for men! Remember, don’t overdo your accessories. Bracelets and neck pieces are meant for women!

Source

5. Watch your hair

Looking sharp is the key and your hairstyle at work adds a lot to it. Spending an extra 5 minutes on your hair so it looks neat and sharp is a must for every guy out there. Shabbily kept hair is a huge turn off for the people around you!

Source

6. Invest in timeless basics

Something like a grey suit and a black tie will never go out of fashion. Even a pastel coloured polo tee works just fine when it comes to business casuals. It’s time to invest in such clothes! Remember – it’s not always good to follow the trends because they eventually die! Opt for style that makes you feel most at comfort and boost your confidence.

7. Button up

Yea yea, we know you’re a man. But flaunting your chest hair with that unbuttoned shirt on the top would not take you anywhere. The only button that needs to be open (if you’re not wearing a tie) is the first button below the collar!

Source

8. Act your age

No matter what you wear, if you don’t have the right attitude to carry it – the whole point gets defeated! Remember to act according to your age and keep the swag on!

7 things a beard virgin should expect while growing one for the first time!

If you’ve never kept a beard and have always been fascinated with one, NOW is the time! We’ve heard some people say that beards don’t suit certain men and beards are unhygienic and what not. Don’t listen to them. Listen to us. People will have their opinions. Some will like it on you, some won’t. But hey! Who cares? At the end of the day you’re the one who has to carry it off right? That’s why here’s a list of things one should expect while growing a beard for the first time.

1. It is a real slow process!
Like they say ‘all good things take time’ and growing a beard is the perfect example. Let’s just say it takes about 2.5-3 weeks for a nice looking beard to grow in its full glory. Therefore, always keep in mind that this change is going to take time!

2. People will have their opinions. Remember – You’re not entitled to any.
Some will encourage you to follow the process of growing a beard and some won’t. Don’t listen to them or anyone who tells you not to do it. Make your own choices and be proud of them.

3. The first week will make you feel erm… not so appealing but like they say – patience is a virtue.
Yes, the first week especially is the hardest. With a small patch of hair covering your face, you feel different. And mostly it’s not good different. Just hang in there!

4. It is going to itch. A lot.
Beard is itchy. Though they do have beard smoothening lotions and different products out there to make it better, it is all a part of the packaged deal. At first it might just annoy the cr*p outta you but then remember – things will get better and you will eventually get used to it.

5. People staying in the hotter parts of the country will experience SOME SWEATING!
Sweating happens everywhere (well almost). So why should your face be an exception?

6. It needs maintenance.
Invest in a good beard trimmer and keep your beard nice and shiny. Though maintaining a beard isn’t too complicated. Just a little bit of brush up every now and then and you’re good to go.

7. Contrary to the popular opinion, the chicas dig it!
Of course women love beards. Not sticking to a stereotype here but most of the women love a little bit of scruff on a man’s face. And that’s a great reason to grow a beard! You’re welcome!
