Spring is here, and so is a fresh new wave of fashion trends. Rumour has it that travel-inspired, glamorous and future-forward looks are going to set the tone this year. So, move beyond florals and catch up on the best global and local style themes of the season at the first-ever Blenders Pride Glassware Fashion NXT Festival happening in Pune on March 9, 2024, where Varun Bahl will showcase his latest collection, joined by actor Aditi Rao Hydari. While at it, kick off the season in style with the help of this quintessential stylebook featuring 5 indispensable fashion essentials:
1. Local Touch
When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Pay homage to the rich culture of the destination by incorporating its distinctive charm into your attire. Whether it’s the intricate patterns of Paithanis from Maharashtra or the vibrant motifs of Pattachitra from Orissa, let your outfit serve as a canvas that portrays the essence of the city. Accessorise with locally crafted jewellery and bags to add depth to your ensemble, and make a style statement that resonates with the vibrant spirit of the season. Add a luxurious something to your wanderlust-inspired outfit, and you will have embraced a trend that is set to take over your Instagram feed this year–wanderluxe.
2. Monochrome Magic
Elevate your fashion prowess with the timeless allure of monochrome ensembles. Whether you opt for the classic elegance of head-to-toe black or explore the purity of a solid hue, monochrome outfits exude understated refinement. Experiment with textures and silhouettes of a single shade to add depth to your look while staying true to the minimalist charm of monochrome fashion. Take inspiration from one of the key themes of the avant-garde Blenders Pride Glassware Fashion NXT Festival and add some gloss and glam to your outfit with gold or diamond accessories.
3. Sustainable Style
Make a conscious fashion statement by integrating sustainable elements into your attire, showcasing your commitment to environmental responsibility. Opt for garments crafted from eco-friendly materials such as organic cotton, hemp, or recycled fabrics, prioritising ethical production practices. Support local artisans and eco-conscious brands that champion sustainability, ensuring your fashion choices contribute positively to the community and planet. From chic upcycled pieces to ethically sourced accessories, embrace sustainable style as a mindset that fosters a greener, more responsible approach to fashion.
4. Mix and Match Patterns
Don’t shy away from blending various patterns and prints for an eye-catching and eclectic aesthetic. Take cue from Blenders Pride Glassware Fashion NXT’s Interglamatic theme, which looks to the future of fashion and experiments with unconventional materials and fabrics. Whether it’s pairing stripes with florals or layering polka dots over geometric shapes, dare to be adventurous this spring. Remember, fashion is about self-expression, so let your outfit truly reflect your unique personality.
5. Unisex Statements
Fashion in 2024 transcends boundaries and represents a movement towards inclusivity, creativity, and overcoming stereotypes. As we anticipate the unveiling of groundbreaking designs and revolutionary concepts in fashion and style this season, let’s also embrace the ethos of moving beyond gender norms. Dress up in pieces that typically do not belong to the ‘your’ section of the store and make a style statement that paves the way for a more inclusive and expressive fashion landscape.
