The New Year has ushered in new and dynamic fashion trends in India. It's time to explore the hottest trends just off the fashion runways. Having said that it is also a truism that the best style is what you feel comfortable in.
If you are all set to make a fashion and style statement in 2014 you must keep a hawk's eye open for the latest fashion trends. If you are keen to keep abreast of what rules the ramp and will finally percolate down to your wardrobe, here is a sneak peak at what is hot.
Every year the fashion markets determine a new fashion color that will occupy center stage for a while. Pantone has announced radiant orchid as the color of the year for 2014. This is a vibrant and vivid tone of purple. It is bound to energize your wardrobe. The rosy undertones of this hue reflect onto the skin and produce a healthy glow. It goes very well with the olive tones of the Indian skin. Pastels and baby blues, soft lavender and subtle yellow are back in vogue. Prints can be radical, animal and delicate lace work is to embellish many outfits.
The figure hugging skinny jeans are replaced by palazzo pants. This high wasted style lends leanness to the silhouette. The kalidaar variant that the designers are offering is becoming increasingly popular.
2014 is the year for crop tops. The trendy crop tops will be chick and revealing. Bolero tops with varied lengths, especially the asymmetric hemlines are hot and trendy this year. Bra tops, boxy tops and boy jackets are the new trend.
The dramatic and fussy Anarkali suits with their flowing lines are a big no no. In their place comes the well fitted Kurta giving a leaner and straighter silhouette.
The elaborate sari will take a back seat. It will be replaced by pre-stitched drapes in textured fabrics. The accent will be on the pallu. When sported with a simple t-shirt (and not the body suits of yesteryear) they will be trendy and sexy. The mainstream designers such as Sabyasachi Mukerjee, Masaba and Payal Khandwala are popularizing the trend.
Knee length skirts will replace the reveling miniskirt. Ankle length skirts are also back in fashion. Something that is longer than a midi but shorter than an ankle length is the preferred length.
Pleats add femininity and romance to any silhouette. They are all the rage this year.
Short pixie hairstyles are in vogue. The classic braid is the best idea for this hot summer.
One thing that never dates is jewelry. Styles inspired by history, nature and abstract art are very desirable. Gold is still too ornate and the sterling silver pieces are the preferred options.
The latest fashion trends in India are no longer confined to the ramp. They are easily accessible on the world wide net.
