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. PINK YOGA ACTIVE LEGGINGS CANDY FLOSS TUBE TOP LONG SLEEVES PUFFER DRAWSTRING JACKET AVIGAYIL EVA SYNTHETIC SLIP-ON SANDALS Sage Green: Sage clothing has also been noticed to be a people’s favorite since 2021, and we are still seeing it in 2022 leaning into summer as well. Sage green is a calm, warm yet joyous color that is perfect to go on summer clothes. We’ve seen many influencers and summer street style outfits in this mild but earthy shade.

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.

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. In 2022 though, you see a variation of low-rise pants. In the past, low-rise was mostly seen in the denim department, whereas now, you see them in trousers, joggers, cargo pants, leggings and many more styles.

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. Image Credits: The Peak The ‘Dress for Our Time’ project by Prof. Helen Storey is one interesting way fashion has been reinstated in this era. 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).

Since the pandemic started, people have been leaning towards comfortable clothing. Now that we’re slowly getting out of the lockdown mode, people have been experimenting, though still looking for comfort. And so we see a lot of people leaning towards trousers over jeans. Though jeans are a staple in our wardrobes, you cannot deny the fact that at the end of the day, you can’t wait to get out of them. Trousers have been all over the runway for 2022, be it low-slung, high-waisted, flared, printed. The trend most definitely is here, but do you think it’s taken over jeans? We think, yes. It most definitely has taken over. Trousers are chic, sexy, and powerful when styled well. Plus, they come in varied ways which is always great. While many believe in altering pants, fixing the pant length for a perfect fit, because, if the pants don’t fit, they’re not for you. However, today we see a lot of people challenging this norm by wearing oversized trousers with slits, cinching the waistband with an accentuating belt or cinching the bottom hem with elastics, or sewing the bottom of the pants to tighten and create a puffy silhouette. Celebrities like Bella Hadid, Rosie Huntington, and Emily Ratajkowski have been spotted while experimenting largely with trouser pants and absolutely nailing it. But we understand that many have inhibitions. There is always an excitement when trends chip in and here we help you to choose what you may find best; suiting your style. WHITE WIDE LEG FLARED TROUSERS White trousers are a must in your wardrobe this summer season. Though they’re a bit hard to manage, the simplicity and elegance of the pants are perfect for a summer outing. The flare at the bottom on this one adds just the right dash of drama, and paired with a lovely floral blouse, pink tie-dye, or a bralette would make a very cute outfit. FAUX LEATHER STITCH DETAIL PANELLED PANTS This one is for the rock kid in you, but fashionable. These oversized faux leather trousers are ideal for a night out, paired with a red or black bralette or any peek-a-boo tops and a blazer or coat. For the daytime, you can wear it with a green or white light furry sweater or full sleeves t-shirt. FAUX LEATHER PLEATED HIGH WAIST TROUSERS Subtle but impactful, these off-white faux leather trousers are sophisticated but sexy because of the fabric’s sheen. Pair it with a shirt and you’re making a fashion statement at work. FAUX LEATHER HIGH WAIST FLARED TROUSERS These pants are a sign for you to go have fun at a disco. All drama and party vibes, these trousers are fun and sexy. Paired with a red crop top and a cropped varsity jacket, you’re slaying on that dance floor.

Y2K refers to the 2000s period, where people were coming out of their 90’s minimalist closet, and daring to explore and experiment. The era of the emergence of the internet grew and became a popular medium. Image Credits: Zula Gaudy, tacky, and all things fun. Y2K is officially back after taking a look at the SS/22 and recent AW/22! Exaggerated makeup, hair, and clothing like corsets, crochet, crop tops, flared pants, mini bags, and dare we say-low waist jeans? The old Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, and Lindsay Lohan outfits that the Gen-Z who were not here to appreciate, are finally getting a chance to witness it. Though the new trends are a bit more balanced, simplified, and refined in this era, we see only the best styles coming back. 2000s vs now Paris Hilton (Image Credits: L, R: POPSUGAR, Vogue) The rise of the internet in the 2000s and leaving minimalism in the past, caused the people to elevate and be their best and ‘extra’ version of themselves. The ‘stand-out in a crowd’ mentality came about and was reflected in every individual’s clothing. Though the mentality of that period was problematic, with people’s obsession with size zero waists, today we see the trends molded in a way, to make them more body-positive and inclusive. Celebrities like Ashley Graham, Barbie Ferreira, Naomi Watanabe have been putting together some outfits and looks of Y2K styles beautifully recently, proving that fashion has no boundaries. 2000s Britney Spears vs Bella Hadid (Image Credits: L, R: Elle, Glamour) A fusion of retro and technology, Y2K fashion was like flashing lights to the eye. Today, the loungewear ‘Juicy’ couture tracksuit worn by Paris Hilton, low waist checkered mini skirts in Mean Girls, tight crop tops worn by Rachel in Friends, these trends are back, though upgraded and refined. Trends like puffy sleeves, bucket hats, chunky sneakers, bead accessories, and colorful, bright makeup can be seen on the runway as well as in street fashion. Models and celebrities like Bella Hadid, Kendall Jenner, Olivia Rodrigo, Sofia Richie, etc, are rocking the 2000s fashion today in a subtle yet impactful manner. Crochet and corset tops are everywhere to be seen, especially as summer approaches and everyone’s getting ready for the breezy days. Today, as consumers, we have reached a point where people are more aware and conscious about their fashion choices. The people’s demand for timeless and good-quality pieces has risen. Investing in long-lasting pieces, hand-me-downs, and thrifting is surging back, which could also be a very good reason for this comeback of the Y2K age.

What are your first thoughts once you get up every morning? Breakfast? Workout? What to wear? for many people, it’s “What do I wear today?”. With this question coming to your head almost every day it's hard to shortlist that perfect #OOTD that looks chic and comfortable at the same time. With lots of other important things to figure out throughout the day, stressing about your #OOTD or how you look shouldn’t bump up the situation. Dressing up fastidiously is a priority for many of us but doing it with ease without creating a mob in our room is a task. Getting ready for a party or work in your desired outfit automatically lifts your mood, triggers a positive state of mind, and sets the tone for the day. When you love your outfit and also the way you look, it makes you feel beautiful and surer of yourself, which adds bounce to your walk. But if you don’t like your outfit, it surely causes you to look less confident, less happy and can ruin your day. From bookmarking your favorite fashion brand's new ins to influencer's best looks to doing a little research on the newest trends online, we all have spent hours scrolling on Instagram. Yet sometimes we are not able to be sure about what to wear given the occasion and how to slay. Well don’t worry, we've got information from top fashion trends to fashion influencers we've skimmed out the modest looks that you can slay every day without investing much time and energy. But before we get there, here’s a fast guide to picking the perfect outfit to slay. A smart way to Choose Your Outfit of the day. Heading out for a formal meeting or casual date, dressing up nicely is needed because who doesn’t love being all stylish and sexy! In the end, your outfit is what speaks to everyone before you do! A quick list of stuff you have to adhere to while choosing your outfit. Remember, you can’t have an incredible day with a horrible outfit. Does It Fit? This is one of the important criteria that you simply must hinder in your mind when choosing an outfit. Many times, we wear an outfit that is way too big or too small for us, making us look more distressed and ill-dressed. It’s important to go for the right size according to your body type unless you plan to wear an oversized cardigan or a boyfriend t-shirt. Colors that go well and fit your personality are very important. Identify the colors that match your skin tone, your mood, and also the event. If you're feeling lively and blissed go for an upbeat hue and if you're feeling a little gloomy choose a color that makes you happy and lifts your mood. Colors have the power to influence your mood so together with the right fit, choosing the correct shade is vital. Is Your Outfit Flattering? Everyone needs to keep this one thing in mind while choosing clothes is “Are my best features being highlighted?” or “Does the outfit make your figure look good?”. And if the answer is affirmative, you go ahead with the outfit but if not then look out for an alternative that looks good on your body. Is It Balanced? You have to analyze that the patterns, prints, color, and also fabric all are toning when synced together. If you are feeling that something looks out of place, be it an earring or a purse, scrap it out before it messes with your look. If you decide on an oversized shirt or a t-shirt, pair it with slim-fit bottoms to stay poised. What Does the Outfit Say About You? Your outfit is going to speak before you do! So it's necessary to convey the right message. Select outfit according to the event, place, and time because you don’t want to be in talks for all wrong reasons. People judge one another on the idea of their outfit and dressing sense so it's better to create your impression the best one. If you stick to these rules regularly, no one can stop you from looking forever gorgeous and stylish. Another crucial aspect to consider while selecting your outfit is “How`s your day going to be like?”. If your day is fun and chill, you can go for something casual like a t-shirt with jeans, joggers, or shorts. But if your day is filled with business meetings and full of formal interaction, you should choose a pair of business trousers or a formal skirt with subtle shirts and a blazer. Since you're now almost a professional at choosing the perfect outfit, here are outfits that'll get you able to slay all day, every day.

Dare–to – Wear fashion. ACID WASH DENIM BRALET DENIM TIED HEM CROPPED SHIRT ALL COVERED-UP DENIM BRALETTE Pairing denim with denim fits in well with hip monochromatic style. While Katy Perry and Riff Raff shook red carpet style at the Music Awards with their denim-on-denim matching moment, today’s monochromous vibe will change opinion about denim.

Dresses are a girl’s best friend. They’re easy, versatile, and fun. There are amazing outfit options so you can feel like a billion bucks. To find a flawless dress style, firstly, we need to get to the middle. Yes, at your waist! Determining where and how the waist of your dress fits you will make all the difference. Trust us! A dress silhouette states the overall shape that an outfit creates when it drapes around your body—it’s the dress outline. Different silhouettes aim to highlight or compliment different body types. A-line dresses are gonna be all over the 2022 style game. A-line dresses are perfectly draped around the waistline and then flare out progressively to the hem. The real magic in this A-shaped dress is that it can minimize the midriff, hips, and thighs, and draw attention to the bustline and natural waist, so they can’t elongate your frame like an empire waist. A-line dress aims to make the wearer look slimmer. That’s why these dresses are the first choice when selecting a dress for important events, most bridesmaids prefer A-line dresses because they fit every body type. The great news is that A-line dresses come in way more varieties that you can style yourself with. Empire Waist Dresses are Flattering on all body types. Empire dress came to rise in the late eighteenth century when Greek and Roman culture became popular in the public eye. The outfit featured a thin satin ribbon cinched just below the bustline of a long drapey dress. When Joséphine de Beauharnais, wore it. The dress popularized later became known as an “empire-waist.” Since the nineteenth century, empire waists have come in and out of fashion but became popular especially in the '60s. Now, more often wedding dresses are designed in empire waist style. Empire dresses are slightly similar to A-line dresses, with a fitted bodice that drapes under the bustline. The key difference is that from the bust down, the dress just drifts downwards, rather than making an angular shape like an A-line dress. This style is a winner for just about everyone. If you’re on the plus-size will help you redirect attention from waist and thighs to bustline, If you’re petite, this style will help state your shape – particularly in maxi dresses. From sky-high to floor-grazing, get an (ahem!) leg up on what lengths you’ll love. Wearing mini dresses is super fun, flirty, stylish, and can be worn by most body types. This is a trend that will never go away since it makes the woman feel sexy and can complement a figure. The key is your comfort level and the shape of the dress. Do you love your legs? Are you a little adventurous? Then go for it. The problem is that you cannot simply take a mini dress, put it on and expect to look fabulous. You must know some “rules” about wearing the mini dress. Even if rules are meant to be broken, these are some that you may not want to disconsider. Minis can lengthen legs when paired with a great heel, so even if you’re not tall enough to dunk, you can still pull this length off. The mini dress puts focus on the woman’s legs so why not make them look great with a pair of great heels? The high heels that are usually chosen are those that are traditional but experimentation is possible. We recommend that you consider platform heels as this balances out proportions and makes the woman even sexier. Knee-length dresses are safe for work, but that doesn’t mean that they can’t also be sexy. Knee lengths are slimming, lengthening, and help balance your silhouette. If you’re on the curvy side, a hem that falls just below the knee will look amazing, especially when paired with a killer heel. If you’re showing off your shoulders or bust knee-length is also a nice way to let those features shine, without any hemline competition. Great news: This length can look awesome on every body type and it’s also the most comfortable dress style ever. If you tend to be on the athletic side, go ahead and rock a more billowy, shapeless style. If you’re on the petite side, you might want to add a belt or go with a more form-fitting cut so the dress doesn’t wear you. And for curvy gals, a belt at the waist or under the bust will highlight your shape without hiding your favorite parts.
