When it comes to setting fashion goals for the New Years, we would like to experiment, especially in the realm of fashion. Kickstart this season in Gilded Glamour, revisiting the 20’s inspired look full of glitz and everything opulent to dress up. The clues for this season are layers, fur, feather and fringe for your fall seasons shopping guide.

 

Soften your shoulders and bring back vintage glamour as the 1920’s is back with a roar. The shimmy flapper with bias cut gown, sequins and fringe rule the night. Opt for elegant silhouettes jazzed up with intricate beading, layering of fringe, feather.

You can invest in figure flattering flapper dresses.It is hard not to fall for those curves. If you wish to keep the look simple, an offset shimmer accessory with a bold jacket over a lace dress would be perfect and topped off with a watch for a polished look.

 

Nothing spells classic like black. Take your layering game to another level by sporting an embellished black cape over asymmetric blouse with cullotes for a casual spin. You can add fur collar and detailed floral embroidery to the structured jacket paired with a metallic pleated skirt or a voluminous gown, plush with movements.Minis are out and a long sparkling sheath is in.

 

If you want to keep it a little traditional, a heavy embroidered jacket lehenga is our pick. It’s trendy yet traditional and really comfortable. To give a modern edgy look – lehenga with pocket and belt are another striking east meet west ethnic outfit, paired with off shoulder corset top. You can also go for the latest trending fashion i.e. fringe saree.The highlight of this silhouette is the fringe at the border of the saree and blouse that immediately catches everyone’s attention.

 

Talking about fabric, designers are still crushing over velvet and luxe for the fall. If you decide to serve up more neutral clothing, go for a pop of colour or a contrast texture bags and shoes.

The pentone fluctuates between dark shades like black, burgundy, emerald green, maroon to metallic tones with iridescent texture and futuristic accents.
