Being chic and well-dressed requires a lot of hard work. But does it really? Die-hard fashionistas are sure to shout out a big ‘no’ in unison. It only requires some bit of innovation to incorporate the latest trends seamlessly into your own sense of style. The best part about fashion is that nothing really becomes obsolete. One always finds what-used-to-be trends making a comeback time and again. Albeit, in new avatars. Hence the key to being a glam diva is smartness and not necessarily hard work. Here are five must-haves from the days gone by that seem to be here to stay.
The Maxi Dress
These flowy long dresses are back with a bang, and there is no reason why they shouldn’t. Maxi dresses are as versatile as they get. Team a floral maxi dress with a pair of white sneakers to get that easy-breezy look for a day out with friends. Or amp up your oomph factor by partying through the night in a solid printed maxi dress paired with high-heeled pumps or ankle-strap kitten heels. Throw in smoky eyes and nude lips, and you are unstoppable.
Bell Bottoms
Nothing spells the classic 70s better than a pair of bell bottoms having the perfectly tailored flare. There is one for every woman, be it the classy urbanite or the bohemian globe-trotter. One cannot possibly go wrong with it for there is such a wide variety to choose from, starting from the grunge-y kinds in denim to the more sober ones in pastel shades and luxurious fabrics.
The Puffy Bishop Sleeve Shirt
Bishop sleeves are back to define feminine grace. They have especially been welcomed for their ability to add a touch of softness to the serious, business look. Think blouses with sleeves billowing out from the shoulders, drawn tightly again at the cuff of the wrist. Aren’t they unmistakably elegant? Like all other trends, this too is marked by versatility and can be made part of shirts and dresses alike.
The All-In-One Jumpsuit
Jumpsuits are an out-of-the-box alternative for the ones looking beyond dresses. They ooze sophistication and are available in a plethora of variants. These range from the sombre full-sleeved pinstriped ones for those who mean business, to the strappy and backless for the ones who wish to bring in some drama into their wardrobe. Tailored Jumpsuits with wide legs that end at the ankles are perfect for the taller ones. The slim fitted and cropped version is a flattering option for those who want to achieve a more elongated look.
D for Denim
Denim is here to rule the roost. The denim on denim look was all the rage during the 90s and apparently, we still cannot get enough of it. Be it in the form of skirts, shirts or jackets; denim suits everyone irrespective of personality or body type. The best part is, they can be worn throughout the year. The quintessential denim jacket is the safest bit to get that layered yet crisp look.
If you still aren’t following these trends, tarry no more. The fashion cycle will move on before you know it!
