Wear the trend: Tribal Prints

Move into a realm of contrasting prints for a striking appearance this summer. Everything from bohemian bracelets to bold prints, we are OD-ing on tribal prints!

Tribal tricks and tips:

• Play it safe: Tribal prints are bold and daring as is, play it cool and wear it moderation. Pair your bright tribal top with muted coloured pants, moccasins and a fringe vest to add the bohemian drama. Complete this look with feather earring and a carry-all sling.

• Accesorise: This trick is probably applicable for all your looks. Add a scarf or a statement necklace to your blouse or simple stack up and have an arm party. If nothing excites you, simply add a pair of high heels to do the trick. 

• Tribal in tiny doses: Tribal printed accessories are ideal for the faint hearted. Pair your tribal print scarf with an all black outfit or add an ikat print bag to a pastel outfit. Add an element of surprise that suits your style.
• Mix prints: Feeling bold and daring? Mix your tribal motifs with plaids or even stripes. Keep the rest of your outfit simple to avoid an overkill.

• Long-term investment: You don’t have to limit your tribal prints to the spring weather. Simply add fur or leather accessories like a jacket or a pashmina scarf to make it fall weather appropriate. You can also accentuate the rustic vibe of these prints by pairing them leather boots.

Girl-next-door

The Peter Pan collar and romantic print make it very this season. This top is versatile and can be easily worked from day to night. She wore her look with coloured pants to dinner with family. 

Tangerine Tango

Think juicy oranges, marigolds and the summer sun because we just cannot seem to get enough of the corals and oranges that are doing the rounds this summer. Whether its entire ensembles or small measures like blouses, shirts and accents of tangerine, we think every wardrobe needs to explore the possibilties with this gorgeous colour. Here's a quick guide on wearing the colour:
Tangerine in contrast:
If wearing an orange ensemble is not your thing then contrast with other colours and colour-block. Try colours like turquoise, rich purple, royal blue, emerald green and red that make beautiful contrasts to tangerine.

Tangerine in small doses: Try peek-a-boo with tangerine colours like light jackets, tunics, shirts and blouses or simply in shoes, bags and bib necklaces. You can pair a cool cotton tunic with coloured pants for a high fashion look.

Tangerine ensembles:
Jumpsuits in orange or short summer dresses and playsuits are a good summer accompaniment. If you wear a tangerine ensemble, make sure you offset it with either nude or contrast colour accessories.

Adding colour

Who doesn’t like an all-black outfit for the night-outs or a pure white ensemble for the sunny days? Here are some easy ways to add colour to a monochrome outfit

 

Dressing head-to-toe in a single color, tone or pattern can be both difficult and fun. From electric colors to neutral tones, layering in monochrome will guarantee you absolute throughout the year.

Follow these tips for those pops of colour: 

• The most instant way to add colour to your ensemble is by using your accessories. Your accessories are versatile and can be worn in multiple ways without seeming too repetitive.Revive your tunic and jeans combination with a bright scarf.

• Use your colourful links or bead necklaces for a splash of colour. Adding jewellery to your ensemble is also a good to layer in humid climates.
• If your wardrobe has a lot of plain colours, then invest in a few bright-coloured shoes. They are a good way of adding colour without overpowering your outfit.
• Bags and clutches are the ideal way to add colour. Wear a neon green clutch with a plain black dress or a bright pink tote to a grey t-shirt and jeans combination. 
• Add a sheer or lace shrug in the same tone, this will take away from the monotony and create a dimension to your outfit.

•  While jewellery, shoes and bags are a great way of adding colour, don’t forget to your sunglasses for the same purpose. Whether it’s Zeenat Amaan’s rose-tinted sunnies in the 80s or Carrie Bradshaw’s bright gold glares in Sex and the City, your sunglasses add instantaneous lift your ensemble.
  
  

The colour palette:

Browns, nudes and camels: These are neutral colours and blend in easily with almost all shades. Try beige with purples, camel shades with blues or browns with greens play with these colours with almost any shade.

Greys and taupes: Greys look great with salmon pinks and try to blend darker grey shades with maroons or even reds. The distinct contrast will completely lift your outfit.

Blacks: While adding colour to the classic black ensemble is a tricky choice. Opt to mix corals or burnt orange shades with all-black outfits. Avoid the typical choices like red and pink, try electric blue pops instead.

The Colour Splash for Spring

Spotted fashion blogger Jasleen Kaur Gupta out for a shopping trip in down town. Since summer is here, she wore a bright splash of neon colours. For a comfortable day out she opted to pair her B:Kind tunic with sweatpants. Wedge heels completed the look. A gold link necklace worn under the collar highlighted the tunic. Jasleen carried a contrast sequinned scarf to protect herself from the slight nip in the air and also add more fun to the outfit. A classic quilted handbag was the perfect accompaniment.

- For an evening out you can tuck in your tunic into high waist pants with high heels.
- For a day event, your tunic paired with Pakistani pants or lace leggings is also a good combination.
- For the night, pair a big statement necklace with your tunic and wear nude pumps.
