For years we have learned that the festival of Lohri commemorates the passing of the winter solstice. However, this year the winter has been unpredictable and has finally arrived after festival.
Needless to say, the change in the season calls for a change in the choice of outfits too. Here’s our outfit of the week to keep you fashionably warm.
Pair a striped jumper with a denim jacket and a warm scarf. If you’re a fan of experimenting with your outfits, go for a denim-on-denim number and pair the jacket and jumper combo with your favorite pair of jeans.
Complete your look wearing minimal accessories and a pair of ankle length boots.
Even though its fall, the weather is just not cold enough to be wrapped up in thermals and jackets. In such a scenario, your summer ensembles might come in handy, regardless of the season.
If you’re still confused about the style quotient to follow this week our outfit of the week might serve as the perfect inspiration to you. Look chic and stylish this week by pairing a shirt with a midi skirt. Midi skirts have been in fashion for a while and the best part about them is their versatility that caters to both casual and formal wear.
Midi skirts are available in different patterns and lengths, but we would suggest you to go for a striped or a plain midi skirt teamed with a subtle shade of pink or white on the top.
You can complete this semi-formal look with a trench coat to avoid windy evenings and a pair of high heels. Accessorise your look with an elegant neck piece and minimal make up using different shades of brown and bronze to set the winter mood and step out looking like a runway model.
When it comes to dressing up for the New Year’s Eve party, we’re bound to get confused with so many options around. What adds to the confusion is the cold weather that needs to be taken into account while selecting the perfect ensemble for welcoming the New Year 2016.

Coats are as important as your favorite pair of denims and can make or break your outfit. From sleek and refined styles to statement furry cover-ups, get ready to meet the coats that are here to get rid of your winter style woes.

2) The Faux-Fur Coat
A statement faux fur coat is a must have for every woman. Amazing for those grey chilly winter days, faux fur coats can be paired with warm leggings or over dresses along with knee length boots.
3) Duster Coat
Also known as ‘longline coat’, duster coats are our favourite this season. Sophisticated and versatile, duster coats make you look structured and lean without compromising on your style quotient.
4) The Robe Coat
Robe coats are a perfect blend of simplicity and chic. Look for a style that is slightly over-sized and be sure to pair it with a tailored piece underneath for a balanced look.

Diwali is around the corner and we believe dressing the part is just as important as all the other rituals. So if you’re looking for Diwali outfit inspiration, we have something for you. Give the usual salwar kameez a skip and try out the hottest trend of the season – Dhoti pants.
Dhoti pants have been named after ‘Dhoti’, a traditional garment worn by men in India. But with change in style and fashion preferences, this garment has been adopted by women in an ethnic fusion form. A popular choice amongst many celebrities, designers and stylists, Dhoti pants make for a great change from the usual salwars and churidars. And if you are confused about styling it the right way, take inspiration from Bollywood’s very own fashionista, Sonam Kapoor.
Our suggestion for making Dhoti pants a successful Diwali outfit will be to pair the pants with a well-tailored top that balances out the volume at the bottom. These pants look their best in brighter colours so go ahead and experiment; however ensure that the top is of a neutral/earthy shade. Do remember to add some bling with big earrings and other accessories. We’d recommend minimal makeup but feel free to adjust it according to the occasion and your preference.
Not just tailored-tops Dhoti pants look great with tunics, crop tops and maxi tops.
Culottes have been around since forever and were originally worn by men in the 15th century. They were a hit amongst kings to soldiers to upper class European men and used to have a tight closure around the knee. With time, culottes evolved and grew into loose bifurcated skirts that end below the knees worn mostly by women. Culottes are great for all weathers and are as important a wardrobe staple as denims today. They are comfortable, chic and versatile. The question is how to wear culottes?
It’s not as hard as one would imagine. Culottes have flattering hemlines and various shapes that look good on every body type. Styling these pants can be tricky, but the good part is that there is more than one way to fashion these billowy pants. So whether you’re wearing your culottes on a date, out for brunch on the weekend, or to work, they can fit right in with these small tricks. Here’s how to wear culottes and flaunt this season’s “it” statement.

For a formal-chic look we’d suggest you go for solid culottes paired with a printed semi-formal top and a pair of strappy heels. For a summery look, wear light coloured or striped culottes with printed or plain crop-tops and pretty flats.
A pair of printed culottes make a big statement on it’s own. Keep the rest of the outfit simple with solid-coloured tee or tank tops.

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.
