Soon we shall enter the brutal realms of extreme heat and the scorching sun. While we stew in your misery; it might be worth a while to look outside India for some summer outfit ideas. Let’s channel some ‘je ne sais quoi’ from the French and some K – popping from the Korean. We can’t beat the heat, but we sure can turn out to be as hot as the season! Here’s sending some international inspiration your way:
NEW YORK
Minimal with a hint of made –up is how we would summarize street style in the big apple. New Yorkers seem to like their classics with a standout piece or two. Take the classic two piece; pants replaced with shorts OR a T-shirt worn with thigh-high boots instead of the usual kicks. Make the classics your own to channel this vibe.
PARIS
Effortless is what comes to mind, when you look at the ‘Fashion Capital’ for some inspiration. Clean structured separates pieced in together with summer essentials such as hats and sunnies. It doesn’t get easier than this! Also, au naturel is the way to go.
MILAN
What is Italian style without vibrancy, really? Channel your inner diva and rock colour blocking with aplomb. Match it with a fierce half bun and some smokey eyes to turn the heat up! Grab a gelato while you are at it!
LONDON
From the country that gave us some of the rock’s mega legends, can we expect anything less than the perfect rocker chic vibe? Think Radiohead meets Led Zeppelin meets Pink Floyd. Not only would it be the greatest concert in the world, it would be a head turning outfit through and through. Adorn your old band tees with pride; and always remember – Denim is ‘The’ Deal!
SEOUL
Just like their porcelain skin, Koreans have perfected the art of looking flawless! College essentials like sweatshirts, baggy jeans and bombers are seen everywhere on the Korean street style scene. For more inspo, head straight for a K-pop marathon on youtube!
SHANGHAI
Just like the city, the vibe is minimalistic and functional, all of this with a clean edge. Tailored separates worn with a minimal aesthetic is what reins the streets of Shanghai. Build an outfit around a crisp white shirt or the perfect polo. Accessorize with the bare minimum and voila, we have a stunner!
TOKYO
And finally, the land of ANIME! Full coloured head of hair, matched with an equally vibrant outfit is the feels right now. Don’t shy away from colours; embrace the contrast in all its beauty!
We end our journey with a piece of advice, ‘Think international but, always with an Indian twist!
