Fashion is a medium of communication that we indulge in unknowingly sometimes. It depicts our moods, personality, and preferences even before we talk about ourselves, the first impression that sets the way we are perceived. And we all have different outfits for every occasion as well! If you are someone who takes fashion seriously or even really enjoys it, you understand the kind of impact a good pair of footwear has on the overall outfit. Each occasion and outfit calls for different pair of shoes, and it honestly just changes the entire aesthetic and style.

Fashion is always evolving, resurging, and redefining, just like life. And fashion is a core part of our life as it depicts our constant changes, preferences, likings, and most times, even our personality. And in today’s rapidly changing social media trends and styles, we are seeing a lot of repetition of the past aesthetics that are now trending. Current situations are similar to what we have experienced in the past; therefore, we see the trends and aesthetics of the time come back in a more refined and evolved manner. But the one thing that does not pace is our moods and personal preferences. Though they slowly evolve with our age and experiences, the way we showcase our changes is most of the time directly connected to our fashion choices. On the days when we are the happiest and most relaxed, we lean toward light and bright clothes, on the days when we want to present ourselves seriously and look bold and confident, we lean towards darker, sharper, and more structured clothing. While many do this almost unconsciously, these depict our personality or rather moods through our fashion. We even see designers showcasing either general current issues or their personal journey through their fashion which makes it relatable. The season relates the clothes to the weather and how we feel during the weather and the clothes depict the aesthetic of these directly in their fashion. We have also witnessed this in many films and through personal experiences about how we dress in a dull manner like gothic on the days we are sad we lean towards a more light academia vibes, and dress more brightly and heavily like the Y2K era when we are happy. And this is what makes our fashion aesthetic. Following are some of the aesthetics that we see frequently and could help revamp or add to your wardrobe! Art Hoe Art hoe was a popular aesthetic on Tumblr and was a large part of pop culture. It depicts artsy elements mostly focusing on nature and art like flowers, paintings, bright colors, and more. The clothing for this aesthetic mostly includes color blocking, floral prints, pleated details, plaid prints, checkers, etc. Here, we’re pairing some fun checkered wide-leg pants with a multi-colored butterfly tube top. The contrasting prints are fun, bright, and artsy. And the white sneakers are a nice break from the maximalist fit. WATERCOLOR CHECKS PATTERNED DENIM PANTS CHASING BUTTERFLIES TUBE TOP ACTIVE LACE-UP SNEAKERS Bohemian Many perceive the bohemian aesthetic to be related to the vibes of dreamcatchers, which is not entirely true to its nature. The bohemian fashion aesthetic leans towards a more hippie and vintage feels where the fabrics are threadbare and knitwear and crochet clothes are involved, with varied prints and colors, chunky accessories, etc are involved. We’ve got some floral print shorts here with pom pom lace at the hem, paired with a pleated bustier top and espadrilles platform sandals. The added crochet bag adds a bit of playful element to the whole look and makes the fit fun, easy, and light. TROPICAL PRINTED POM POM SHORTS PLEAT DETAIL TIE-UP CROP TOP DREAM CATCHER HANDMADE CROCHET BOHO ROUND BAG ELSA DOUBLE STRAP PLATFORM ESPADRILLES WEDGES Dark Academia Luxurious, rich, dark, and mysterious, the dark academia aesthetic is mainly focused on darker neutrals. It also includes a hint of gothic but in a more sophisticated and elegant way. The aesthetic is very vintage European and focuses on the elite fashion and vibes of the time. The colors are mostly dark neutrals, greens, etc. The fashion leans towards corsets, trousers, blazers, plaid and checkered prints, and clothing that is a bit masculine and sharply structured. We’re styling a fancy mini dress, though you can have a pick of mini dresses that have ruffles, and laces, and pair it with these structured croc sandals which blend well with the green. The color palette is very dark academia and we love to see it. VELVET MINI BODYCON DRESS PRETTY ME PATENT CROC ULTRA HIGH PLATFORM SANDALS Light Academia Light academia is all about calm, elegant, and light visuals where you feel soothing and serene. The light academia aesthetic is almost contradicting the dark academia aesthetic and is all about neutrals like beige, off-white, white, and pale pastels. It’s all about light art paintings, nature, clothing, and decor. The fashion often includes plaid, plain clothes, light cotton, silk and satin, and coffee latte vibes that make you feel cozy and relaxing. Here we’re pairing a ruched bodycon dress which is beige and light with a one-shoulder strap and a thick, cozy sleeveless faux fur teddy coat, and some simple white heels. The fit is elegant, cozy, and minimal. RUCHED BODYCON MINI DRESS SLEEVELESS DOUBLE BREASTED TEDDY COAT HIGH PORCH DRAWSTRING BAND HIGH HEELED SANDAL Dreamy Dreamy is all things surreal and soft. The aesthetic revolves around an angelic, clouds, paradise kind of a mood where cotton candy, fluorescent elements, and soft detail visuals are included. The dreamy aesthetic is all about a wondrous, awe-inspiring feel that makes you feel excited but calm at the same time. For us, a dreamy fashion aesthetic is all about ruffles, laces, soft silk, satin, and sheer material which is flowy and beautiful. For a dreamy outfit, we are putting together LACE DETAIL DOBBY SLIP DRESS CASSINO THONG LACE UP CHAIN HEEL SANDAL French Girl The French are all about simplicity and finding beauty in the bare minimum, and their fashion showcases just that. The fashion is not exaggerated unless there’s a reason to, and the signature red lip is the most distinctive of the French girl fashion aesthetic. We are pairing a cutout baggy shirt with a wrap-around design and some flared leggings with chunky sneakers. A notch up on the classic french girl. The fit is stylish and minimal, so add a red lip and strut down those streets! CUT OUT LONG SLEEVE TIE UP TOP TIMELESS STRETCH FLARED PANT PRISCA STILETTO CRYSTAL BROOCH PUMPS
Some risqué business is back in the fashion landscape and we note this as celebs go gaga over it. The naked dressing style is here to reign again! The stamp of its return and approval was seen at the Met Gala 2022 where the stars stunned the carpet with various sexy dresses that left us all in awe. The naked dressing has gotten-nakeder?-and even more risqué than it ever was. The sheer fabrics, skin-colored bodycon dresses, and cut-out, barely-there dresses have been raging on the red carpets since the beginning of this year. Even the footwear is transparent heel, glass sandals footwear that we’ve seen on many celebrities till now. The naked dressing goes way back to the ancient civilizations of India and Rome when saris and tunics originated and the fabrics and the bodies were subject of art and admiration! The saree is a beautiful flowy garment that is draped around the body, and its sheer fabric showcased a woman’s bare torso and neck. Even today we see a variety of sarees with embroidery and other embellishments adorned beautifully all over. The tunics which are famously called chiton originated from Greece and were worn by the elite class, made with fine wool, were beautiful and so thin that it was almost transparent. Image Credits: Times of India Image Credits: britishmuseum.org What is sheer clothing? Sheer clothing was then seen to be widely popularized in the 20s when women leaned towards stockings and pantyhose as part of their daily wear clothing and gained recognition in the 50s when the sheer dresses came about as evening dresses for fancy occasions such as dinner parties and balls which were a common frequent occurrence. Though the design was sophisticated and elegant there was an underlying sense of allure that was enticing. And then came the 80s when the concept of mesh dress and clothing, sheer leggings, and lacy dresses completely changes and it was all about showing off the bodies with sexy dresses made of transparent, see-through fabrics and laces. Every woman in the 80s owned a pair of sheer stockings for showing off her long legs since short skirts were a rage back then. The mesh tops were also quite popular, especially in neon colors, and popularised by the rappers of the top. They were usually layered over a bra or even bare chest. The fishnet tights were also trendy and were usually worn under shorts and came in varied colors. Image Credits: thevou The history of risqué clothing has many stars that popularised and encouraged sexy dressing. Marilyn Monroe, Cher, Madonna, Kate Moss, and Jane Birkin in the past have been seen in naked dresses throughout history, continuing with Beyonce, Rihanna, Hailey Bieber, Kendall Jenner, Zendaya, and many more. Image Credits: Harper’s Bazaar In today’s era we see many designers coming up with different designs and fabrics to showcase the naked dressing. Rihanna’s CFDA moment in 2014 was memorable and left us all in awe with the beautiful shimmery sheer bodycon dresses with a coord head wrap and gloves. Beyonce at the 2015 MET Gala also stunned the carpet in a sheer gown with gorgeous jewel embellishments adorned all over. The daring looks are a memory and proof of the naked dressing coming back. The MET 2022 was full of sheer and mesh dresses which were even more risque than the past though the nature of them today is still seductive, there is an underlying romantic notion to them as well. Jacquemus’ latest Le Papier collection showcased beautiful sheer clothing which are lovely romantic and also sexy at the swame time. Image Credits: Glamour Image Credits: Getty The subtle way other celebrities are taking the route of naked dressing is through naked shoes that are taking the internet by the storm. We’ve seen Kylie Jenner and Hailey Bieber strutting the streets in barely-there transparent heel sandals. The Amina Muaddi Holli Glass sandals also became popular amongst the A-list fashionistas and were seen on many stars at events and alike. And hence, we’re now witnessing the era of naked dressing which is even more naked and redefined from the past.

Impulsive buying is something we’re all guilty of, and there are tons of shirts and bottoms out of these that we just never wear or rather forget about. And these too many options can get chaotic and hard decisions need to be made early in the morning, which can be frustrating. Capsule wardrobes are the answer to these difficult moments. Now, for those wondering what is a capsule wardrobe, it’s a collection of 7 staples, timeless pieces of clothing that mismatch with each other making different outfits within themselves for your daily wear. The concept of capsule wardrobes appeared first in the 70s when Susie Faux opened Wardrobe, a boutique in the West End of London. Susie was the daughter of two tailors and grew up wearing high quality pieces that fit right. She realized that in her experience women needed proper fit and high quality clothes that lasted a long time and were easy to style. She observed that it improved confidence in women, and was also a sustainable way to use clothing. A jacket, blouse, skirt, sweater, tights, trousers, coat, bag, belt, dress, and shoes are the core pieces of the capsule wardrobe. Image: marchelineisabelle And then we saw Donna Karan, an American designer in the 80s launch her first line Seven Easy Pieces which showcased minimal essential clothing where the body suit was a recurring product paired with varied clothing like pants, short and long skirts, wrap skirts, scarves, chunky jewelry, and more. The shoe showed how much women enjoyed versatile clothing, and most modern women preferred it as it’s hassle free and still looks stylish, and makes you feel comfortable and confident. Capsule wardrobes of course change every season, depending on the fabric and silhouette of the clothing and how it adjusts to the weather. And that means you have four different wardrobes round the year, which also if you play right, can be interchanged and used completely through the time. The basic linen shirt of the summer capsule wardrobe can be paired with a sleeveless vest from the spring wardrobe and worn in autumn with a light jacket added to it. That’s the motto of capsule wardrobes, that each piece is fully utilized in your day to day wear. Here is an insight on building a basic capsule wardrobe. A capsule wardrobe primarily includes essential clothing of the same color palette that can be interchanged. You can have a set number of tshirts, for example, if you have a set of four, try buying two plain colored tshirts, one striped, and one printed. You can have 3 pairs of denim jeans, 2 pairs of trousers, one pair of printed pants, and two shirts that go along with them. Remember that the fabric of the clothes has to be high quality, and most importantly, appropriate for the weather of that season. If it’s fall, you can buy two light jackets and a coat. For winters, you can have two heavy jackets and one long coat. The footwear should be one pair of 3 styles, they can be any of your favorites and that go with every possible outfit you make from your clothing. You can also add accessories that match the fits and depending on the weather and your needs, suffices all expectations.

It’s said that trends usually make an appearance every 20 years, and well, it’s no surprise that Y2K is back in 2022. Hence, curiosity is getting the better of us, and so we’re going on a journey of understanding where and what led to the origin of the Y2k fashion. Y2K trends today are much refined compared to the actual 2000s era. The term ‘Y2K’ is an abbreviation for the ‘Year 2000’ and is also often referred to as the computer bug that messed up the dates and took over the internet. The era then saw the rise of technology and was, therefore, fashion consumerism was luxurious and over the top, which is when Y2k originated. The fashion was tacky with big logos, odd pairings, and all things bling, which people termed as futuristic trends. It was also the thrill of a new start to a new century, a new era, which led to people going overboard with their expenditure celebrating prosperity. Paris Hilton in the 2000s (Image Credits: Popsugar) Y2K fashion was all about gaudy, tacky, and being extra. The first person to pop into our heads when thinking of the era is Paris Hilton. Paris, a prominent socialite, is to date known for her fashion and keeping up or rather setting trends. From low waist jeans to everything bling, Paris wore it all. The Juicy couture set was also one of her signature wears. We saw a lot of people trying out trends of skirts of jeans, micro mini skirts, fitted crop tops, diamante belts, Ed Hardy t-shirts. Bella Hadid in Y2K inspired fashion (Image Credits: InStyle) It is noticed that we see Y2K recurring because the eras have similarities in situations. Getting through a pandemic and quarantining has made us all lonely and needy in certain ways. Our use of technology also increased staying inside, and to keep our needs satisfied in a way, we started leaning towards online shopping and shopping unnecessarily in bulk. As we compare both eras, we notice many similarities like these. Jacquemus SS/22 Le Splash show (Image Credits: RUSSH) But today consumers are also well-informed and more conscious of their choices, especially in fashion. The styles today are a bit more refined and long-lasting as we see on the runway as well. Today, designers like Miu, Miu, Jacquemus, Prada, and others believe in making staple clothing that can last us at least for a decade, and be sustainable, which is a more positive revolutionized version of the 2000s, where people were all about micro-trends and fast fashion. Today, we see a more mature, sustainable, and evolved Y2K fashion.
Pantone has put forth a new periwinkle shade of purple to be the color of 2022, but the designers had something else in mind. Though the new shade of purple is soothing and pretty, the world is too feeling fun and crazy to lean towards the mild shade as a go-to. Hence we’ve seen bright pink to be everywhere on the runways. With Valentino putting forth an entire collection of the color, the demand for it has spiked noticeably. We also see shades of green like sage and olive, as green has always been a calming color, and after a long lockdown, people need some relaxed but fun colors. And neutrals are now people’s go-to with their warm and versatile quality. Relaxed but fun and quirky is this year’s vibe and the colors reflect so. Pink: The pink shade we’ve seen on runways, especially Valentino Pink PP Collection, where Pierpaolo Piccioli presented a whole collection dedicated to a bright pink shade incorporating trendy clothes such as cut-outs, maxi dresses, bralettes, oversized blazers, mini bags, and of course, platform heels. We also see a lot of brands and designers introducing varied clothing and accessories in similar shades like Jacquemus, Ferragamo, Et Ochs, Versace, and many others incorporating the pinks in their collection. We see many fast fashion brands catching up on it too with Zara coming in strong with pink tones, H&M, and others building upon the summer clothes with this vibrant shade. The color is also ideal for the color blocking trend which has been popular for quite a while now and is still raging. Pair it with red, orange, green, yellow! Pink seems to be the new black of this year! Check out some of our London Rag products to hop on the trend.

Christian Siriano, Prabal Gurung, and many others have also showcased the color on runways. The color is relaxing and very summer-like and has been seen worn by many celebrities.

The low-rise jeans have always been seen as something meant for celebrities with thin and tall bodies as it flattered a particular body type. But as every trend reoccurs, it sees some development that makes it slightly different from its antecedent. While low-rise was recognized in a bad light in the Y2K era, today we see it presented positively. Credits: Instagram The mere mention of low rise has people’s eyeballs falling out of their sockets. The low rise trend was always seen as a horror show for some, as in the 80s and 90s it was symbolic of the pressure and obsession of being size zero and having a flat stomach.

Sustainability comes from the word sustainable which is ‘sustain + able’, which means “to bear”, “to support”, and “to hold up”. It is the process of maintaining an ecological balance in the consumption of natural resources for the future of humankind. When it comes to sustainability in fashion, things are quite complex and known to be toxic. The fashion industry is large and immensely powerful, and so is its impact on natural resources. Sustainable fashion is when the manufacturing, making, and execution are done in manners that are ecologically safe, which means the raw materials used and the process of making should not impact the environment negatively or deplete resources. It is the need of the hour for consumers to buy clothes that are ethical and sustainable in their method of producing clothes. Buying local, making conscious choices regarding the fabric and brand ethic, is important. Shopping timeless pieces over micro trend styles, thrifting, and clothes swaps are certain ways to also practice sustainability. Sustainability is basically the usage and life of the clothing, which is supposed to be long-term and recyclable. It also means paying a fair share to the laborers and providing them with good working conditions, less usage of water, and is cruelty-free. There are various aspects to sustainable fashion and ample designers taking the hard road.

An amalgam of science and fashion, the project showcases a different outlook toward fashion and helps change perspectives in the right manner. Storey brought around a few collaborators and showcased a dress in various locations to emphasize the issue of climate change and sustainable fashion choices. Image Credits: Vogue A report on the UAL site on ‘Dress for Our Time’ describes, “The dress has traveled to various locations where it has digitally displayed scientific data, showing the impact of climate change on our physical world, broadening the dialogue around migration, and highlighting the millions of displaced people and the paths they take in search of a better life. The first installation of the dress at St Pancras International train station on 26 November 2015 for four days, focused on mapping & predicting climate change. As the gateway to Paris – the host city for the United Nations Climate Change conference COP 21 – it was an opportunity for the delegates passing through the station to come face to face with the world’s first digital couture dress dedicated to exploring climate change and its human impact. The dress digitally displayed data that showed us the impact of climate change on our physical world in 3 stages and powerfully shared the impact on our planet, if we DON’T DO ENOUGH to mitigate it. The dress was developed in partnership with award-winning interactive creative agency Holition, and the data was taken from a study conducted by a team of global scientists and provided by the Met Office.” Image Credits: HuffPost UK Image Credits: dress4ourtime The feature of a dress as such at events started the conversation and acknowledgment of the issues and need for sustainability in fashion. Similar projects have been showcased all over the world now that encourage and promote conscious fashion choices and fashion sustainability. And slowly and steadily, it's time that people are aware of the choices and the impact it has on the environment. Go Green can’t just be a slogan anymore, but a conscious choice for a better and healthier world.
It has been noticed that prominent fast fashion brands have been selling some fab dresses online which have a particular trend derived from inspiration of leading fashion influencers and Hollywood icons. The risqué and bold, skin show clothes which would have been a major head turner even on the NY Fashion week or would have qualified for the bolded Red Carpet look a decade ago, now finds acceptance and has started to gain prominence. It has a fan following of it’s own. BBL has arrived! The setback though is that it barely covers the body and accentuates a hard-to-get exaggerated hourglass figure. BBL has started gaining prominence amongst many women. Image Credits: Ancre Now, what is BBL? It’s an abbreviation for Brazilian Butt Lift fashion. It is a surgical procedure where fat is transferred to the hips and butt from other parts of the body to give you that hourglass figure. The fashion came to be when Kim Kardashian started posting her photos and being on covers in her almost-too-perfect figure. Though she went on record and confirmed she never had any surgeries to make her butt bigger, many noticed that BBL does not show in x-rays as the process is of going through liposuction which uses your own body fat. This gave rise to curiosity and also insecurities for women to look the same. Image Credits: L-R Harper’s Bazaar, Just Jared The Kardashians have always had the power to influence the masses. And insecurities are something that easily creeps into you. We’ve all seen the fashion adopted by the Kardashians, especially Kim and Kylie, with their barely-there bikinis, which slowly, somehow, turned into dresses and other types of clothing (if you can call the scrap there that). When brands like Fashion Nova and Pretty Little Thing started selling these mesh, cut-out, fabrics with holes in clothing, women went crazy. The need to look a particular way so the clothes are flattering, the need to show off, and to achieve that, women could go to any lengths. Body dysmorphia can be brutal and cause you to want something regardless of its repercussions and dangers. Image Credits: TikTok BBL surgery comes with its own risks and dangers. Though the mortality rate is not as bad as it was a few years back, the effects on the body have been known to be fatal, and the aftermath of the surgery is known to be painful beyond imagination. With surgery being expensive in the US, many women traveled to places around to get cheaper operations. But with the lower cost comes greater risk. The doctors are known to be unqualified or under-qualified, many a time, and do 8-10 surgeries in a day, with no after-care. The surgery is known to be time-consuming, which is physically exhausting for the surgeons, and doing 10 in a day increases the risk of neglect and error. But the need to be recognized and ‘fitting in’ is too great for women to be mindful of the dangers. Though some women are happy with the results and seem more comfortable and happy with their bodies after the surgery. And for some, it brought in opportunities and helped them upgrade their life, as the industry is all about trends and perfection. The impact of BBL surgery has been vast and has had its pros and cons. References Jennings, R. (2021). The $5,000 quest for the perfect butt. Vox. Retrieved from Here Parker, T. (2021).
