TREND TALK IT IS ADVISABLE TO REPLACE SOLID-COLOURED SHIRTS WITH A SOFT PRINT IN NEUTRAL COLOURS. GRAPHIC PRINTS ARE RULING THE WARDROBE OF TODAY’S FASHION CONNOISSEURS. THE CLOTHING GUIDE FOR THIS SEASON: WAYS TO STYLE It is imperative to consider a few crucial things in mind before one starts to choose one’s clothes: • Material and choice of fit are quintessential for the look of the attire. Both the trousers and collared shirts (grandad or small collars) should be crafted from breathable cotton fabric to maintain a tailored silhouette. • Generally, chinos are made of lightweight cotton fabric and come in a summer-ready colour like tan or beige. This is a must to be incorporated in one’s summer wardrobe. • As the days will be longer, adding a little visual flair to one’s garb will add detailing and finesse to the entire ensemble. So, make sure to inject some statement prints in the summer collection. • The trend of pairing print with contrast was always there. What is now gaining momentum is the print on print trend like a printed shirt with a striped summer blazer. • It is advisable to replace solid-coloured shirts with a soft print in neutral colours. Graphic prints are ruling the wardrobe of today’s fashion connoisseurs. Collars POWER OF PINK As per the fashion forecast, pink is the colour the world is talking about. Thus, the revival of this shade in men’s closets is a sure-shot instance as it not only happens to be one of the most soothing hues for corporate affairs but also for informal occasions like brunches, vacations, weddings, etc. A pink salmon suit is definitely one of this season’s statement pieces, and teaming it with a classic white shirt and a pair of the same pink- shaded trouser will not let one blend in. Donning a pink tie with much élan is also an art. Pink ties go quite well with black and other dark- coloured suits. For the best look, remember to complement light shades with light and the deep ones with deep. 86 I APPAREL I April 2019
