Your Ultimate Summer Dress Guide

With warm weather months come effortless living, the good life, and an excuse to buy dresses. Skinny, curvy, or whatever fruit shape you are, dresses are a fashion mainstay. Whether you like it wrapped, straight, or curve-hugging, with the range of silhouettes, colours and styles on offer, the options are thankfully endless. And with fashion forward brands like Allen Solly and Van Heusen, you’re sure to find a perfect summer dress that’ll take you from dawn to dusk and desk to dinner effortlessly in style. The cheat here is to find one that flatters your body while accentuating the best of your features- even if it’s showing off those Pilates toned calves.

From a classic LBD to some flirty floral dresses, we’ve rounded up some dresses from Solly (by Allen Solly) and Van Heusen Woman (obviously, by Van Heusen) to show you the tricks of perfecting your am to pm style.  Let’s start with the most challenging of the lot- the work appropriate dress.

Power Dressing from Van Heusen Woman

While we’d like to turn up to work like Donna Paulson, in a body hugging dress and perfectly blow dried hair, let’s face it, we’re mere humans. And with the daily commute, sometimes involving public transport,  you’ll want to opt for a smart yet relaxed silhouette (one that’ll keep you comfortable), like the shift dresses or A-line dresses Van Heusen Woman has to offer.  In bold yet elegant colours, the dresses come with subtle power-packed details, like a gold buckle belt or an exposed zipper; enough to make a stylish statement. While we’re all praise for wearing a dress to work, you’ll want to save the ditsy floral prints and flouncy tiered dresses for brunch. 

 

Brunch Dates from Solly

Talking about brunch, have you seen the latest offering of dresses from Solly? With a spread of delectable colours, pretty laces, and stand out prints- floral or not, summer embraces every rainbow colour and breezy silhouette there is.  Think blouson dresses and sheath dresses.  With a gentle drift away from only florals, this season’s dresses from Solly also boast of abstract prints with painterly stripes and checks, and eclectic muses. Alternatively, you could just opt for a LWD (Little White Dress) that’s pristine and feminine- this one’s a no-brainer for perfecting a chic day look for summer. Or if shorter hemlines don’t work for you, there’s always the maxi dress to fall back on.

Evening Dresses from Van Heusen Woman

Come evening and warmer nights, you’ll want to go with a simple-is-chic dress that’s perfect for a dinner date or a night about town with your girls. Whites, neutrals, and the classic black are a failsafechoice and great if you’re one to head straight from work to the dance floor. The secret here is to get yourself transitional pieces that can be dressed down or styled up with classic accessories or statement pieces. With smart cuts and simplistic designs, dresses from Van Heusen Woman will give your summer style an elegant and sophisticated look that’s sure to get you noticed. If curve defining silhouettes feel a little restricting, luckily for you, the sheath dress is back in vogue. With its relaxed shape and nonchalant style, this one’s the dress to go for this season.

So whether you’re shuffling in between meetings, having a brunch date with your partner or heading out for a Ladies Night, reach for a dress and save those skinny jeans for another day.

Sweaters for Men

Men, stay warm in your stylish sweaters!

Winter is coming. Each of you must have used this as your WhatsApp or Facebook status at least once! Oh yes, don’t even try to deny it. With the increasing number of viewers for the popular award-winning HBO series Game of Thrones, this phrase has become a part of everyday conversations.

But what’s gaining as much popularity as the dialogues from this show, are the absolutely stunning costumes, especially the swooningly dusky attires of the men of the Night’s Watch.

Yeah yeah I know all they wear is black, but the costumes add some real swag to the "watchers on the wall". I mean those overcoats are just too hot (pun well intended)!

Well, you can’t really roam around in fur coats, but what you CAN do is face the winters in equal style. Now you might ask how that’s possible with just sweaters and jackets. Wake up! With such a varied collection of sweaters available in the market, you’ll be surprised with the fashion gala awaiting you. Right from pullovers to cardigans and sweater vests, these knits can do wonders to your wardrobe.

Sweaters have been a symbol of elegance and style for ages now. If you look back at classic movies like Casablanca, Citizen Kane, or The Godfather, you’ll see the subtle use of sweaters to portray the uptown and the classy.

The most important rule in style is the fit. Once you’ve got that covered, you’ll find yourself wearing sweaters quite often. Always remember, never wear a sweater that’s a size bigger OR smaller than your body fit. Unless of  course, you’re wearing a poncho.

What varies majorly in sweaters is the neckline, color, and print. Round necklines could make you appear rounder.V-necks have the tendency to elongate you face.Turtlenecks, though quite common, need a certain body structure to pull them off!

Then come colors and patterns. There’s a rule of sorts that says dark colors could make one look slimmer and bright colors well, not so slim. Also, remember that the patterns or prints should be proportional to your body, i.e. large men should wear bigger prints and patterns, and thin men should go for smaller ones. Horizontal lines can make you look bigger and vertical lines can make you appear thinner.But all this applies only if the garment is the RIGHT FIT!

When it comes to materials and blends, there’s 100% cotton apparel that can double as a pullover and a jersey, 100% wool sweaters that'll keep you super warm, no questions asked! And in between these two extremes, you'll find different blends with varying amounts of cotton, nylon, Lycra, wool, etc. Also, there’s cashmere and merino wool for those extremely soft and elite sweaters.

Basically what I'm saying is that you have sweaters made from different types of blends for various occasions to be worn at any given time of the day with any possible combination that could only result in awesomeness!

Trendin brings you a ravishing collection of men’s sweaters from Louis Philippe, Peter England, Van Heusen and Allen Solly. Be sure to visit the website to find out the right style (or styles. Yep it’s definitely plural!) for you!

CHOOSE WISELY. CHOOSE FAST. 'COZ BRACE YOURSELVES, WINTER IS COMING!

Play with Leggings

There’s one thing in a woman’s wardrobe that will fit perfectly and that is leggings! Leggings have an elasticated waistband for a comfortable customized fit. I am sure that they willnever go out of style, because they are renewed every season with different colours, designs,and patterns. It is very important to pick the right pair of leggings that will enhance your lower body shape. Depending on your comfort level, pair them with a tank top or tunic.

Leggings can be worn all day, every day, and literally anywhere. They give me the freedom to pick from solid colours to quirky prints, and different lengths, like capris to foot-covering ones. Capri leggings are perfect for the summers and are extremely comfortable to wear. Whenever I visit the beaches in Goa, I usually carry my capris to pair them with a crop top and sandals.

I adore ankle-length leggings for it’seasier to style them. Like in winters, I layer them with a skirt and a knit sweater that will keep me warm and stylish.And for a brunch date, I would pick up a pair of solid colour leggings from Pantaloons and style them with a cute-girl dress and fun accessories, like a contrasting broad belt over the waist. My patent leather ballet flats will add the finishing touch to my ensemble.

The love for printed leggings is forever! The fresh patterns and designs change frequently. My favorites are floral prints, geometric shapes, and animal prints. I like to team printed leggings with a denim top, layered with an oversized cardigan, and a cool coin ring to look perfect at aconcertor a casual day outing.

Active leggings are also popularly known as yoga pants. They’re currently a fashion staple for women who are into yoga and want to look athletic. I wear them especially when I want to escape from ordinary track pants. They arenot only made for yoga but also for Pilates, CrossFit, and running. As they have dry fit technology,it makes it easier to do functional movements without worrying about sweat patches. Team them with a sports bra, and layer with a loose tank top if needed. And obviously, sports shoes for your next workout.

I simply love to mix and match churidar leggings to get afashionable ethnic look. There are a range of solid colours and printed leggings by People. They’relonger than the ankle leggings and have gathers at the cuffs. Style them with a mid-length or long embellished tops or an Indian tunic. The thumb rule is to stick to basic coloured leggings to balance out the satin, velvet, or cotton tunics. I like to play around with my ethnic look by wearing a traditional white gold embellished kurtawith leggings in contrasting colours. To round off, I accessorize with traditionalchandbalis and a great pair of heels.

You can check the trendy and beautiful collection of leggings on Trendin. Hope you have a joyful shopping experience!

Trendy Online Shopping For Men

Online shopping has become the next best thing for everyone around the world, and is continuing to have a strong growth specifically in India. Shopping online, as an experience, is incredibly simple. One can scroll through pages and pages of products without having to leave the house. This must make all those men who can’t be bothered to go store-hopping extremely happy, because menswear is easily available online. 

Offline Vs. online shopping

Menswear online has an endless list of products to choose from: shirts, T-shirts, trousers, jeans, shorts, suits, blazers, outerwear, and more. This is just the tip of the iceberg. There’s lots more!

Online shopping is extremely user-friendly. One can see all the available sizes, which sizes are low in stock, and which size is recommended for you thanks to the helpful size guides. Next, you have an option to see which colours are available in the product you like, and sometimes, if a product is sold out, you can ask to be notified when it’s back in stock. If it’s in great demand, it may just come back.

Lately, online shopping portals have been including information on new trends, styles, and fashion tips. For instance, if you’re attending a formal sit down dinner and need to buy a formal shirt online, there will be notes on how to wear that shirt or what suit jacket, shoes, or trousers, will match best. It’s like having your very own virtual stylist. 

If you walk into a menswear store, for example, there will be someone to help you, but online, there will be detailed product information without having to look for the sales staff or the tiny clothing labels. 

Menswear on Trendin.com

Trendin has an exhaustive list of categories for men to choose from, including  shirts, T-shirts, trousers and chinos, jeans, shorts, suits and blazers, outerwear – sweatshirts, sweaters, and jackets,  ethnic wear, and active wear. More the merrier,  right?

While buying menswear online, it is completely understandable for one to feel overwhelmed by all the available men’s clothes, which is why Trendin has a blog – Trend Insider that has information on new trends, celebrity-inspired dressing, and of course vital style tips. If any of you are having trouble with finding the right type of bottoms with a sweater, the blog can help you. 

Let’s take a look at how Trendin makes buying menswear online so simple. For example, if you want to buy a pair of jeans, there’s an option of narrowing your search by selecting a particular occasion (formal, casual, party etc.) or picking the fit you like (slim fit, regular, comfort, straight, and more) or you can even use the ‘wash’ option where you can decide if you want the jeans to be of light, mid, or dark wash. 

Here’s another reason to buy menswear online: looking for a shirt to buy? To narrow the search, you have options for occasion and fit, and sleeves (half sleeves or full sleeves), pattern (check, stripe, solid colours, prints, polka dots etc.), type of collar (regular, mandarin, cutaway etc.), and even type of cuff!

Branded Men's Shoes

FOR THE LOVE OF SHOES

There was a time when men proudly owned only a few pairs of shoes: one for work, one for the weekend, and a pair of sandals or sneakers. The modern man has started showing a resemblance, in his attitude towards footwear, to what is stereotypically associated with women. Men, somehow, have always been as obsessed with shoes as much women, but of late they have been unabashedly honest about it. The most famous men in the world are known to have a weakness towards branded shoes. With a wide range of options now available to them, men are becoming more conscious about the importance of branded men’s shoes. They no longer buy a pair of functional shoes blindly, and team that up with any attire. We believe that a man’s shoe rack depicts the effort and imagination he has put in buying each pair. 

It is true that there is a long way to go before men’s footwear becomes an absolutely ‘rule-free’ category. The good thing is that be it the runway or street fashion, the scope of what is acceptable in terms of men’s shoes has certainly broadened. We believe that every stylish man should handpick really trendy and fashionable branded shoes for himself. The most obvious question being – what are the must-have shoes for men?

To put rest to all your queries, we have compiled a list of shoes that every man should have in his wardrobe.  This will be a good initiation for those who aren’t obsessed with shoes, and for the style lovers, a nice check list.

Loafers - Loafers are the hottest trend this season. They are the most versatile and stylish shoes available in the market today. Apart from adapting to multiple looks, they suit a wide variety of occasions. You can go for the ever-popular leather tasseled loafer, this season. Choose a pair to quirk up your regular attire (jeans and a casual shirt), or complement your tailored outfits.

Boat Shoes - Perfect for summers, boat shoes are your ‘go to’ with your shorts and T-shirts. I love how they look with chinos and turned up jeans. Wear a cotton suit and a plain polo shirt to further complement these shoes.

Quick Style Tip – When buying Loafers and Boots, go for colors like in black, brown, shades of red and tan. Navy and brown are a perfect choice for Boat shoes.

Brogues – This one is a timeless classic! Brown is the only colour one can think of when it comes to brogues. You can go for a tan or oxblood pair to experiment. They will look awesome with a formal suit, and are a smooth way to smarten up your jeans. Just make sure the fit of your jeans suit the brogues – a baggy is a big NO!

Boots – Boots have been an all-time favorite of fashionistas across the world. It is pretty easy to style them up. Wear them with everything except shorts and you have got it right. Be it ankle boots, biker boots or hiking boots, they are definitely the preppiest and most desired.

Sneakers – Functional, cool and comfortable, you can’t afford to not own a pair of sneakers! Try keeping it simple, and avoid the ones with excess detailing. To look really edgy try sporting them with contrast laces. A pair of black sneakers with blue/green laces or white sneakers with neon colored laces will look cool.

Remember, wearing wrong shoes let down an excellent outfit. If you end up choosing loud and garish pairs then that they end up clashing with the look as a whole. Keep it simple and stylish and you will not go wrong.  So go ahead, and invest in the right pairs of branded shoes today.
