Balancing trends & longevity

In the slew of trends that manage to fancy us every season, the state of change in our real lives have made us rethink our choices. If there could be one trend that you’d wear for the rest of your lives, we’d all choose the one that we’re most comfortable in. At this moment in time, we need a wardrobe that complements our lifestyle; a new dress code of transitional style that can last decades. As thoughtful wardrobe investments triumph fads, longevity is being defined as the trend that is here to stay. A mindfully curated wardrobe and environmentally conscious choices are your answer to balancing trend and longevity.  Streamlining your style with trends and timeless elements is easier said than done. The most ardent fans of the It trends would also love and admire heirlooms too. Here’s where transitional style becomes the code of conduct.

The future of festive classics:

The versatility of classic pieces is a given, but flexing our styling flair also gives you a distinct look every time you experiment. Treasured favourites shouldn’t be reserved for only special occasions. Rather reach out to them time and again if it makes you feel great. If you have a knack for experimenting, place your trust in the trendy connotations of these classics. While concept saris are Ruffles on saris will continue to flutter for years and refreshing fusion hybrids of sharara sets are here to stay.

It’s a natural choice:

The spotlight over sustainability has nudged us towards a style that is conserving the nature cohesively. Durable and ethically produced linen, khadi and cotton clothing are now more than just wardrobe staples. Rich in history, these handwoven fabrics boast a style mileage of decades from now. because simple living doesn’t mean any less statement.  In the time when ‘investment-worthy’ holds more meaning than ever, pieces that will remain perennially polished amidst the upcoming statements should be the building blocks of your wardrobe. 

Basics, but better:

Whatever the coming days could hold, comfort will form the essence of every mood and move- from home to work and beyond. Make life easy with practical pieces like shirts and go-to dresses and sharpen them up without detracting from the relaxed vibe. While we’re championing basics, anchor them with bold pieces to balance the style quotient to not let your sartorial standards slip. Keep more budget for statement jackets and tops. Create sets that can be sported everywhere- work, vacation, weekend- check, check and check!
