No matter what the weather is, I am inclined towards pieces and styles that can be used in various ways. So, here are summer trends to try this season. Find more fashion blogs here.

Crop tops

No summer wardrobe is complete without crop tops. They are chic, stylish and are perfect for chill summer days. No matter if they are paired with jeans or skirts, they look good and there are many fun styles to choose from. I like wearing my crop tops with high waisted jeans or shorts. For someone who wants to wear a crop top but is not comfortable with showing too much skin, layering it with a thin overshirt is a good styling option.

Wide leg trousers

The 80s wide leg trousers made a comeback sometime back and they are here to stay. I love their silhouette & how structured they are. Their retro and vintage vibes takes things to another level. They are comfy and are ideal for both casual outings and formal affairs. One can style them with a solid or graphic t-shirt for a relaxed, laid back look and with a nice feminine blouse/shirt for a more elegant & fancy look.

Puff Sleeves

I am a big fan of puff sleeves, as they are enough to add a style statement to a boring outfit. They are dramatic, romantic and scream feminine. Whether it’s a puff sleeves dress or a top, it can be styled effortlessly as the sleeves are the star of the show. They instantly grab attention and make heads turn. When it comes to puff sleeves, structure and shape is everything so go for fabric that does justice to the trend.

Pastel Colours

Summers are a time to flaunt colourful outfits and pretty pastel hues are the trend of the season. Pastel colours are subtle but are bright enough to standout and catch the eye. Having pastel colours in the wardrobe is a must as they add a pop of colour without being too much in the face and look classy. Pastel colours can be easily styled with neutral colours, prints, denim, deeper colours and even other pastel tones.

Oversized Overshirts

Oversized overshirts have been around for quite some time now and I find them so practical and easy to carry. On the lazy days when picking an outfit is a struggle, they come in handy. I personally love checkered overshirts, as they are a good addition to a basic look. They can be worn over basic leggings, shorts, dresses or over swimsuits. One can also steal a shirt from their partner’s wardrobe and turn it into an oversized overshirt.

Tiered Dresses

Tiered, flowy dresses are a staple for summers and I think every woman in the world embraces them. They are romantic, flirty and incredibly versatile. I like mini tiered dresses as they look super cute & casual, but one can go for midi or maxi depending on what length they prefer. They can be paired with sneakers or strappy sandals and can be easily dressed up or down just by playing around with the accessories.

Square-Toe sandals

The 90s Square-Toe sandals have been ruling the fashion world since their comeback and can be seen almost everywhere. These geometric shaped sandals come in many different styles and look high-fashion & effortlessly chic. They are comfortable to wear and go perfectly with everything, be it dresses, trousers, or jeans. For a casual look choose flat slide ons and for a fancy look go for block or pencil heels.

So, these are some summer trends that I am looking forward to try. Hope you liked the blog. Let me know your favourite trend out of these. Stay tuned for more such blogs.

How to Style Culottes

Culottes look really good and when paired with right pieces, they are perfect for almost every occasion. Here is how I like to style them.

Culottes, a pair of clothing that looks really good but can be a little tricky to style. When paired with the right pieces, it is perfect to wear for brunches and even for formal events. The first step for creating awesome culottes looks is to choose the type of culottes that will flatter your body type. Once you have found that perfect culottes, you are halfway there.

To be true, I wasn’t always the biggest fan of culottes, as I thought they make you look short and bulky. But now that I have figured out how to style one, you’ll see me wearing them often on my Instagram. Here is how I like to style my culottes to get fun, comfy outfits. Find more styling blogs here.

1. With a Crop Top

A crop top and culottes according to me are made for each. The ease with which you can style these two together to get a flirty outfit is amazing. Whenever you are struggling to find an outfit for a last minute plan, just throw on a crop top and culottes and you are good to go. You can rock this outfit for a movie date with bae.

2. With a Solid T-Shirt

A solid t-shirt is a must have in your wardrobe as it looks perfect with almost everything and culottes are no exception. The simplicity of the t-shirt and silhouette of the culottes balance each other out to give you a perfect casual daytime outfit. Always make sure that you tuck your t-shirt in the culottes to bring attention to your curves and highlight them.

3. With a Jumper

This look is for the days when the weather starts to get a bit chilly, but you still want to look stylish. Take out your favourite jumper and pair it with your culottes to get an amazing casual look. To complete your look, you can either add pumps or a nice pair of wedges. You can even use a sweater instead of a jumper for this look.

4. With a Jacket

Layering is always fun, and that is what this look is all about. Wear your culottes with a basic top and then throw on a jacket on top to jazz up your entire look. You can pick any type of jacket you like. For a casual look you can go for a bomber jacket and for a more put together look, choose a semi-formal jacket or a blazer.

5. With a Printed Shirt

A printed shirt makes quite a statement on its own, but when you pair it with culottes it looks even more charming. This easy-breezy outfit is ideal for a day out, as it has the perfect balance of casual and chic. You can complete your look with a sling bag and a nice pair of sandals or wedges.

6. With a Shirt dress

I think this one is the most experimental out of all looks and that’s why I have saved it for the last. For this look all you have to do is pair that versatile shirt dress with your culottes and there you have it an awesome outfit for lunch or your shopping spree. You can even add a chunky silver necklace to elevate the look.

I hope you liked these culottes styling tips and I was able to help you in some way with this blog. Whenever styling clothes, always remember that there is no right or wrong in fashion. Opt for clothes that you feel comfortable in and you’ll own the outfit, I promise.

Toc Watch New Collection Feature – Ulysses

As a fashion enthusiast, accessorizing well has always been very important to me. And watches rank high on my list of favourite accessories, mostly on account of their unparalleled versatility. Of late, I have been wearing Toc Watches rather often, so here is a peek into this up and coming brand of highly covetable timepieces.

Toc Watch is the brain-child of two friends and entrepreneurs – Will and Max – who decided to capitalize on their creativity and set us this watch company. They began with the groundwork in 2016 and come July 2017, the first Toc Watch – Toc19 – hit the market. I got my first Toc Watch recently, and am absolutely in love with its chic minimalism.

As you can see in the picture, my Toc Watch has a pearl pink dial and deep burgundy strap. This classic stylistics and bold contours make for a striking wrist accessory. I teamed it up with a grey pom-pom sweater and simple blue jeans. The elegant watch is a perfect complement to my casual outfit as well as the distinctly British ambience I’m foregrounding. And this is USP of Toc Watches – they are distinctive without being overtly flashy and a most versatile fashion add-on that matches almost any outfit or occasion.

Toc Watches are characterized by their retro-inspired look and robust mechanics. Their first collection, i.e., the Toc19s, are all hand wound, which adds to their old-world charm. What I personally love the most is that their exterior is extremely sturdy with fine quality leather, sapphire crystal glass, and splash-proof quality. Since I am clumsy sometimes, especially when in a hurry, having a durable watch is quite the saviour. I wear my Toc Watch to work, to casual outings, formal events, and on date nights even. Those are just a few of the pleasures of having a tough but beautiful wrist watch!

After the Toc19, Toc Watch has come up with a second collection called Ulysses. This collection retains the vintage design though with enhanced nuances of modernity. There are more options in terms of dial colours and strap options, and they are available in both hand wound as well as automatic variants. Though the Ulysses collection is a magnificent coalescence of classic and edgy sensibilities, it is uniquely representative of the Toc Watch philosophy that understated class, and inimitable exquisiteness, are the hallmarks of a good watch.

My concluding thought is that watches are a great way to augment the glamour quotient of an outfit. And if you have a Toc Watch to sport, you can rest assured that your watch is going to win you loads of compliments. Mine most certainly did! How about you?
