What n when to wear.. Get those heads turning

You may have wondered many a times that whether am i looking good in these clothes, accessories, etc ....or have i over dressed or something. This happens with many people , reason is simple enough, we are too casual in our approach towards dressing up for a particular look . Talking of looks it can be formal look, evening look, casual look, etc etc...

Some people seem to have that perfect look, they seem to get everything right at all times. The benefits of being that perfect dresser are immense, not only does one get compliments but has a far better social circle, of course you need to have a good personality to back it by intelligent dressing.

Dressing for that perfect look is not difficult just a bit of creativity,
some common sense that's it.

Some most encountered occasions in one's life

On Weekends/Movies/ Just hanging out



Here's what you can wear. (men & women)

  • Loose jeans (comfy types), twin pocket shirts half sleeved or long sleeved as per your liking. T-shirts are definitely in, but please avoid wearing black in daytime at least till winter sets in.
  • Teddys are hot favorite for today's youth and they're real cool as you can mix n match your tops T-shirts with them also they can be worn with a variety of combinations.
    - As monsoon season is presently on, avoid wearing lighter shades especially trousers. cotton shirts and pants are more apt for this season they dry faster than other materials.
  • Try this combo dressing wear camouflaged T-shirts with jeans or cargos and thick soled shoes.
  • Tight skin jeans are out so avoid that uneasy look.

If you are with your date (for men)
You would rather want to look more mature than kiddish at the same time do not want that office going look. Our suggestion, wear a cotton trouser (flat fronts) a collared T-shirt (plain color) a semi formal shoe. Twin pocket shirts half sleeved with a pair of jeans or a trouser looks good. (alternative ..... Medium to large check shirt)

If you are dressing up for your Date (for Women)
You can wear a flat front trouser or a skirt with an embroidered top. If you're the more casual sort go in for a Denim pair with a beige colored shirt or a sleeveless top. For the traditional you could wear those parallel suits they look really chic and are easy and convenient to carry.

Parties (informal)



Here's what you can wear. (for men)

  • Flat front trousers with a contrast shirt (usually loose fit, not formal types with buttoned collars).
  • Shoes (thick soled shoes, sports well they better be left for jogging etc....suede boots with jeans look good.
  • In winters a skiwi with a leather jacket or a tweed coat worn with plain trousers or a small check trousers gives you that desired look. Silk shirts worn with trousers also give you that real party look. Try experimenting with designer blazers which sport a shirt like collar are usually light and not heavy like the regular blazers or suits. Being light in texture they give you that comfortable feel.
  • Women could try experimenting with trousers and shirts or a top worn in combination with lachas (long flowing skirt) other wise jeans and a semi formal jacket (worn over a skiwi) shiny tops, wear stilettos (3 to 5 inches of heel). Halter necks, Cocktail dress, a white shirt blouse (can be paired up with anything) etc.
Corporate functions or parties


Seasonality factor's consideration is what you should always consider before choosing to wear or buy any apparel whether casual, formal, ethnic etc.

  • It would be safe to wear a suit for the occasion where there's who's who of your business community or trade and half the people would just notice what each other is wearing what their wives are wearing, so importance of being well dressed is again reinstated here.
  • Since your appearance decides whether people feel attracted towards you or vice versa, make sure that your suit is dry cleaned and free of every possible stain or dust.
  • Do make sure that you don't over dress as this might make you look like the odd man out. Wear a sober tie, preferably in plain color silk or small prints would do. Cologne or splash on should have a mild smell or spicy smell not on the strong side (unless you have a genuine body odor problem). Perfumes (men) you could opt for Burberrys, kouros, gucci envy, calvin klein range, hugo boss, tommy etc....
  • Women could opt for business suits, evening gown, a sari (silk, georgette) etc
    As far as combinations go there's no written rule the golden rule however is to wear what you are comfortable in but you can always try a few variations as then only you can call your self a trend setter, new trends start this way. Perfume choice may include C&K, D&G, Dolce vita, Gucci, Carolina Herrera, Cassini
While Traveling, Beach fun, Mountaineering


For beach fun- (men & women)

  • Undoubtedly a good pair of shorts (go for cargos they're practical in every sense). Khaki shades, floral prints, checks any possible design is justified here so go buy them and let the fun begin. A bottle of sunscreen, and cooling shades (uv-guard), some fresh ones (wet tissues) etc.
  • Shoes won't make sense here it would be wise to carry sturdy and comfortable sandals or slippers preferably foam or rubber no pvc or leather please.
  • You can also take along a fisherman's hat they look funky and don't give you a test match look.
  • Wear light colored clothing , especially upper wear half sleeved shirts, yes they're back and they offer optimum style and comfort. T-shirts are always in you could wear just about any type here. Women could go for wraparounds (floral printed) with a light colored top
Mountain vacations -(men & women)

  • Good hiking boots (not new or don't buy and wear them instantaneously on the trip ),wear at least a month old shoe so that it's interiors are softened by the time you take it on the trip and it doesn't bite .
  • As mountain air is cool and you can wear a hunting jacket which have those really big pockets, which you can utilize by stuffing just about anything. They look real classy and give that rough feel being on the edge
  • Denim jeans will provide you comfort as well as warmth well so much for practicality. Jeans are rugged so if you have trekking, camping, horse riding, you bet you wont get a better fabric to withstand the exertion and the punishment a fabric gets.
  • Men can opt for Long overall coat especially for that evening after dinner stroll with someone special! these look good on all especially on tall guys.

A good cashmere pullover , an all weather jacket (rain, wind proof), leather is good too but if you choose a time when the rains are unpredictable you could ruin your expensive jacket.
Some people have this uncontrollable urge to go visiting hill stations during peak winters, take along long johns, for that extra insulation it provides)

Heavy natural leathers are ideal winter wear. The vegetable tanned country and the oil tanned ranch leathers are especially popular. The look you get is sophisticated, casual and up market.

Traveling - (men & women)

  • When traveling by train, car, bus, the golden rule is that wear something that is loose and comfortable. If you even decide to wear denims which normally most of us wear while traveling, wear comfort fits and not those really tight fits.
  • While traveling by air , wear semi formals especially if you travel to west as many a times there's this possibility of being offloaded by the airline even if you have a confirmed ticket so much for yield management which they have, anyway the point here is that when there are seats vacated and at the last moment they want to give you seats to people decently dressed especially if they are giving a free upgrade to business class.
    Wear a cotton trouser a light fabric blazer (coat) you do not really have to wear a tie inside a plane.
  • When on overseas trips take care to read the travel brochures handed out by airlines or travel agents which explain various dress code in different stores, shopping malls, restaurants etc. as some of these mentioned venues do not allow casually dressed people in their premises. So it's always better to be informed.
Bedtime wear (UNI SEX)

-
Pyjamas, loose fitting night shirts, shorts (preferably non elastic), cotton t-shirts. Avoid wearing jeans while going to sleep at night by changing into loose clothes you will definitely get a peaceful sleep.
Men love their woman in a sexy outfit so go for designer nighties, satin finished ones, best is to ask your husband which one he prefers.
For those married here's a little tip get your wife or husband to buy you your night wear, your spouse'll love you wearing their choice.

If possible avoid tight elastic shorts wear shorts with chords instead. If you want to be a bit more creative, select a cloth piece from any good shop in your city which have stars or tiny moon prints, florals, checks ... which you get tailored into shorts pajamas, night shirts etc...
