Experiencing all four seasons is like a shifting process where one alters oneself with the air of each season. It’s again that time of the year when energized and enthusiastic high school goers give the eventual break to their uniforms to embrace more of the “colourful” trendy outfits. Joining college has always been one of the most important stages of one’s life not just in terms of academic promotion but also as a chance to enter the creative space of looking stylish and trendy.

July, of course is not the best time of the year in Guwahati with the monsoon rain and the high humidity fiercely sweeping across the state making it indeed a tough job to choose the right outfit for oneself. But as they say, “sometimes you have to make your own sunshine”. Here are some fashion tips that will make you stand out in the crowd without sacrificing style. All you require is a little planning in advance.

This month is all about colour! Don’t be scared to experiment with some fun and bright colours. Bad weather can be depressing, so why not go out of your way to wear something non- depressing and add the fun element in your outfit? If going for a bright colour dress is way to new for you to hop on, try to experiment it in your daily accessory like a cute funky umbrella or a bright trench coat.

 In conversation with Mr. Pawan from one of the favourite shopping stop in the city “Purple Zone”, situated in Fancy market, he informed that they had added the latest collection of crop tops and funky t-shirts as per the demand. Further, he told that high-waist jeans and off-shoulder tops were in the market this season.

Good news for the denim lovers, as the Denims are back! You can pair them with nothing but a basic white tee. Wearing shirts with denims gives a good semi- formal look. Apart from this, colourful short kurtis with cropped denims and jootis or Kolahpuris will give you the perfect Desi yet trendy look.

Accessories are an essential part of the outfit as they complete a look. The most important accessory for this time of the year is the Scarf. It goes with almost everything and is a necessity as it gives protection from sun-tan and dust.

Girls! It is the right time to ditch your huge backpacks and sling on those trendy, stylish totes or handbags. Accessorize your hair with quirky hair clips and rubber bands which are easily available in any affordable shops around the city. Rupohi, the hub of accessories in the city showed us the latest range of ear cuffs which you would want to add in your accessory box.  One of the most essential accessories is the sunglasses. Fastrack brings the new range of snazzy sunglasses, available in favourite shapes and colours.

Eye makeup is crucial as when you get wet; it easily smudges off and could make you look all messy and muddled. If you would like to fill the eyebrows then use the pencils and not the brow powders. Opt for waterproof eyeliner and mascara. Another essential thing that one should always carry in your bag is wet tissues to wipe off sweat and keep your skin fresh and hydrated.

You can always experiment with bright colours on your nails; from neon to reds or even yellow.

Finally as the saying goes “every pretty dress needs a great pair of shoes to complete the look”. The flip-flops, ballerinas, floaters and thong sandal are in. You can also go with moccasins, loafers and slip-ons which are not heavy and made of light fabrics.

 Well that’s all for now. Keep up your trendy look this season with minimal effort as Leonardo da Vinci delightfully elucidates in his quote “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication”.
