Two trends

The distance does slow down our outfit blogging a bit. But we are back and extremely excited about this Outfit Post. Hope you like these two trends for summer.

Jasleen went overboard with the the B&W stripes trend

• Horizontal, vertical, curved or chevron, stripes are back with a vengeance. Gifted with a timeless appeal and perennial style stripes were actually never out of the fashion radar for us. 
• This year, the black and white stripe is the ‘it’ stripe. The classic colour combination allows you to go bold and basic at the same time. 
• Use the stripes to your advantage. Elongate your torso with a vertical stripe blouse or slim down your bottom half with wide-stripe trousers.
• See some of our favourite striped combinations 1, 2, 3, 4.

Sonu is still stuck with the colour-block trend

• While the raging trends are neon, back & white stripes and graphic prints, I’m still loving the colour-blocking this season.
• It’s minimalistic, chic and effortless to blend different colours in an outfit. Pastels, neons and even nudes all are fresh options this summer. I chose a mix of pastels with jewel tones for a bright dewy day look.
• Opt for darker hues to camouflage your problem areas. Pick blacks, maroons, greens and purples bottoms for a pear and hourglass shapes. Pastels, neons and nudes blouses for apples and banana shapes. 
• Can’t have enough of the colour-blocking trend too? See some more looks here and here.
