When you think about traditional Indian embroideries, chikankari is one of the first techniques that comes to mind. Artisans have been creating materials

When you think about traditional Indian embroideries,&nbsp;chikankari&nbsp;is one of the first techniques that comes to mind. Artisans have&nbsp;been creating materials with&nbsp;chikankari&nbsp;handwork&nbsp;since as early as the third century. Its popularity in Lucknow can be dated back to over two&nbsp;hundred years ago.&nbsp;
It is believed that&nbsp;Mughal Emperor Jehangir's Begum,&nbsp;Noor Jahan, was greatly influenced by this Turkish embroidery in the 17th century and this is how this&nbsp;artisanal work came to India.&nbsp;
The work&nbsp;chikan&nbsp;in&nbsp;chikankari&nbsp;comes from the&nbsp;Turkish word 'chikh' which means perforation.&nbsp;The handwork looks delicate, refined and very lightweight making it perfect for India&rsquo;s scorching summers.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Due to its versatility, you can add&nbsp;chikankari&nbsp;to your wardrobe in several ways, let&rsquo;s dive in to see some of them.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Ethereal&nbsp;Chikan&nbsp;Kurta&nbsp;
There&rsquo;s nothing better than an easy breezy&nbsp;chikankari&nbsp;kurta in the summer heat. Depending on what you like, from jeans to the&nbsp;palazzo, you can pair the&nbsp;chikan&nbsp;kurta with just about any kind of bottoms.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Regal&nbsp;Chikankari&nbsp;Suit&nbsp;&nbsp;
Both comfortable and stylish,&nbsp;chikankari&nbsp;suits are a wardrobe staple and everyone should own at least one set. Whether you prefer a&nbsp;sharara, churidar or pant style suit, chikankari&nbsp;suits are the perfect outfit for office parties,&nbsp;a Sunday lunch or just a trip to the market.&nbsp;
Casual&nbsp;Chikankari&nbsp;Top&nbsp;
If you love the traditional appeal of&nbsp;chikankari&nbsp;but don&rsquo;t want to wear a desi silhouette, you can opt for a&nbsp;chikankari&nbsp;top or shirt.&nbsp;Being such minimal-looking handwork,&nbsp;chikankari&nbsp;looks absolutely beautiful in western silhouettes as well. You can dress your look down or dress it up with some accessories.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Breezy&nbsp;Chikankari&nbsp;Lehenga&nbsp;&nbsp;
Lehengas come in all different shapes and sizes but the appeal of a&nbsp;chikankari&nbsp;lehenga is unmatched.&nbsp;The&nbsp;intricate&nbsp;thread work&nbsp;not only enhances the beauty of the lehenga but also adds a royal touch. Be it brides or bridesmaids,&nbsp;experiment with the embroidery&nbsp;in&nbsp;different&nbsp;colours to make a statement.&nbsp;
Soothing&nbsp;Chikan&nbsp;Saree&nbsp;&nbsp;
Soft pastel colours uplifted by the&nbsp;karigari&nbsp;of hand-done&nbsp;chikankari&nbsp;is a match made in heaven.&nbsp;Chikankari&nbsp;sarees, often found in cotton, georgette and smooth silks, are graceful and just perfect for summers. Sarees with&nbsp;chikan&nbsp;and&nbsp;gota&nbsp;work done side by side&nbsp;are also quite popular these days.&nbsp;

The colour of sunshine, optimism and joy, yellow seems to be the favourite amongst&nbsp;Bollywood stars this summer.&nbsp;From weekend brunching to the near clich&eacute; Maldives vacations, film stars are donning hues of yellow in all its might.&nbsp;
With gender no boundary, you can take a cue from these Bollywood stars to show off this bright and happy colour.&nbsp;
BRIGHT&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;TRADITIONAL&nbsp;
The most popular lover of salwar kurtas in Bollywood, Sara Ali Khan is the perfect inspiration for yellow suits.&nbsp;From brocade silk to crisp cottons, bright yellows look&nbsp;eye-catching in&nbsp;both casual and&nbsp;dressier salwar suits.&nbsp;&nbsp;
KEEP IT CASUAL&nbsp;
If you want to look stylish without trying too hard, learn the art of wearing simple yellow from Katrina Kaif. While a crop top&nbsp;or shrug&nbsp;is&nbsp;perfect&nbsp;for women,&nbsp;the yellow&nbsp;t-shirt trend&nbsp;works for all genders.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
SUMMER DRESSES &amp; SHIRTS&nbsp;&nbsp;
You can&rsquo;t talk about bright summer colours and forget about airy summer dresses. From tie and dye to pretty florals, you can&rsquo;t go wrong with a bold&nbsp;yellow summer dress. If dresses are not your jam, go for a printed or candy-striped yellow shirt.&nbsp;&nbsp;
POWER SUITS MADE FUN&nbsp;
If you want to look powerful without the burden of looking boring, go for a yellow blazer. You can wear a bright yet fun yellow skirt or pantsuit and let the colour rule your look.&nbsp;&nbsp;
SUNSHINE SAREES&nbsp;
Look like a ray of sunshine in easy, breezy yellow summer sarees.&nbsp;Depending on the shade of yellow and the material of your saree, you can wear this to work or a cocktail evening for your best friend&rsquo;s wedding.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Far from the sickly perceptions of yesteryears, yellow has become the hottest colour for fashionistas in the last few years.&nbsp;&nbsp;

As much as we love the summer sunshine, it also leads to copious amounts of sweat&nbsp;and itching sometimes. The&nbsp;scorching heat is synonymous with sweating and this is why your garments in summer need to picked mindfully.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Many times, we might be picking a cute look but in the wrong fabric. Wearing certain materials in the summer can cause rashes, itchiness and other skin problems. Stick to breathable cotton and linens and steer clear of these fabrics that we are here to tell you about.
1. SATIN&nbsp;
While shiny satins allure many,&nbsp;do&nbsp;not&nbsp;wear&nbsp;silk or satin clothes during the day in summers.&nbsp;Unless you want to show off sweaty patches all over your outfit, keep your satin tops and dresses&nbsp;for evening engagements&nbsp;only, if at all you feel the urge to wear them.
2. LEATHER&nbsp;&nbsp;
The slick punk rocker appeal of vinyl and leather can&rsquo;t be denied but summer is not the season for such fabrics. Store your leather boots or jackets&nbsp;in a dark, dry spot away from the sunlight and bring them back out when the weather gods take pity on us mortals and bring back the colder months.&nbsp;
3. SUEDE&nbsp;&nbsp;
A more delicate cousin of leather, suede is another material that is just too heavy for Indian summers. Reserve your smooth suede for winter&nbsp;or at least avoid your suede items during the peak summer months.&nbsp;
4. POLYESTER&nbsp;&nbsp;
It doesn&rsquo;t wrinkle and demands little care but polyester is a terrible choice for summer. The synthetic material does not absorb sweat and&nbsp;may give you rashes and show sweat stains.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
5. VELVET&nbsp;
Thick, heavy and just too luxurious, velvet is not a material made for Indian summer. Velvet can trap too much heat and make you feel hotter than it actually is.&nbsp;&nbsp;
6. LACE&nbsp;&nbsp;
Don&rsquo;t let its appearance deceive you. Lace fabrics look airy but the polyester nets have a tendency to stick to your skin. Since most lace garments use synthetic lace, it is&nbsp;best to avoid lace in the hotter months.&nbsp;&nbsp;
7. DENIM&nbsp;&nbsp;
Yes, cropped denim&nbsp;shorts look cute any day but you&rsquo;d be much better off wearing something lighter in&nbsp;the heat.&nbsp;A&nbsp;durable&nbsp;and&nbsp;heavyweight fabric, denim&nbsp;isn&rsquo;t exactly the summer best friend your body needs. Leave those skinny jeans for a cooler day!&nbsp;
If you still want to wear these fabrics, at least wear them in a style that lets your&nbsp;skin&nbsp;breathe and keeps your body cool.

It was an old quilt and now it&rsquo;s a stylish shirt, all thanks to designer Harsh Agarwal who is gaining international fame with his love for local textiles. An economics graduate with no formal fashion training, Agarwal launched&nbsp;Harago&nbsp;in 2019&nbsp;to show that indigenous crafts can&nbsp;be&nbsp;given a new lease using modern aesthetics.&nbsp;
A native of Jaipur, Rajasthan, Agarwal uses his label to upcycle old and used textiles to make&nbsp;transeasonal, unisex garments. An old bedsheet, hand-embroidered by his mother&nbsp;in 1985&nbsp;no less, became a co-ord&nbsp;set for&nbsp;Harago.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Agarwal says he doesn&rsquo;t believe in following trends or mass production. Like many other small independent designers,&nbsp;Harago&nbsp;is part of a broader slow fashion movement that calls for&nbsp;taking the time to&nbsp;appreciate&nbsp;clothes and shun impulse buying.&nbsp;
Harago&rsquo;s&nbsp;effortless silhouettes merge the lines between loungewear and daywear, and all made using natural, vintage or upcycled textiles&nbsp;collected from friends and family.&nbsp;
Whether you want&nbsp;some&nbsp;cross-stitch&nbsp;coordinates&nbsp;or a&nbsp;Pattachitra-inspired hand painted shirt.&nbsp;Harago&nbsp;is a brand to watch for all textile lovers.

Summers are officially here and it's the perfect time to update your wardrobe for the hotter months. While it's normal to associate hot pants and casual t-shirts with the season, we think you should not forget about the easy breezy allure of summer sarees.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Sarees are the perfect way to embrace desi fashion and make a style statement while you&rsquo;re at it.&nbsp;Some people often associate sarees with&nbsp;occasion&nbsp;wear but this versatile garment works just as well for casual, every day wearing as well.&nbsp;
Here is a review of some saree styles that every person should have in their summer wardrobe!&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
COLOURFUL FLORALS&nbsp;
Summer isn&rsquo;t complete without a good, bright floral print. And with none other than Sabyasachi promoting the print, who are we to shy away from it! Invest in&nbsp;as many&nbsp;colourful floral sarees&nbsp;as you like as this is one look that will always be on-trend, summer after summer.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
VARIANTS OF WHITE&nbsp;
With all the colour and sunshine overload, many people prefer to stick to whites in the summer. A white shirt is after all a wardrobe must-have! Well, so is a good white saree.&nbsp;Whether you like it with a gold border, some sequins or a sprinkle of colour, it is hard to go wrong with a&nbsp;stylish&nbsp;white saree&nbsp;this summer season.&nbsp;&nbsp;
HAND PRINTED INDIGO&nbsp;&nbsp;
Bagru&nbsp;is a traditional Rajasthani printing technique that produces the most eye-catching indigo fabrics.&nbsp;A local&nbsp;hand-printed&nbsp;artisanal&nbsp;work, indigo&nbsp;sarees&nbsp;are&nbsp;beautiful&nbsp;and no pieces ever look the same. The soft cotton sarees are easy to breathe in, affordable&nbsp;and look stunning as well!&nbsp;
GO FOR ORGANZA&nbsp;&nbsp;
Nothing says summer quite like the feeling of crisp organza.&nbsp;Sarees in organza look ethereal and rich but are very light and comfortable to wear on hot days. Whether&nbsp;it&rsquo;s a daytime wedding or a late brunch, the natural sheen in organza makes it the perfect saree for all&nbsp;occasions.&nbsp;&nbsp;
SOFT&nbsp;PASTEL COLOURS&nbsp;&nbsp;
Not a fan of bright highlighter colours? Go for soft, pastel hues that look subtle yet chic. The light colours keep you cooler as they attract less light and give fresh spring vibes. Pastel cotton sarees are also a favourite of Bollywood stars, thanks to their comfortable versatility.
So which summer saree&nbsp;are you going to be donning this season?

What&rsquo;s in a sleeve? Well, sleeves are integral to any outfit and they can either make or break the look.&nbsp;A&nbsp;misplaced sleeve&nbsp;shape&nbsp;on an otherwise beautiful piece of clothing can spoil the entire feel of a garment.&nbsp;Sometimes, sleeves can enhance your features and highlight different parts of your outfit.&nbsp;&nbsp;
This is why&nbsp;it's&nbsp;important to learn about&nbsp;popular&nbsp;sleeve designs&nbsp;so that you can make an informed choice before you hit 'add to cart' the next time!&nbsp;
RAGLAN SLEEVE&nbsp;
Very common&nbsp;in&nbsp;sporty t-shirts and tops, you will find raglan&nbsp;sleeves&nbsp;in&nbsp;many different lengths&nbsp;in all types of garments.&nbsp;This sleeve extends in one piece fully to the collar, leaving a diagonal seam from underarm to collarbone.&nbsp;
BELL SLEEVE&nbsp;
Found in varying lengths and flares, bell sleeves look almost exactly like bell-bottom pants.&nbsp;The sleeve starts fitted on the&nbsp;arm&nbsp;and then flares out progressively like a&nbsp;literal&nbsp;bell.&nbsp;&nbsp;
KIMONO SLEEVE&nbsp;&nbsp;
This sleeve is attached to the bodice of the outfit and doesn&rsquo;t have to be sewn separately.&nbsp;Usually, kimono sleeves are very wide and remain equally wide from beginning to end.&nbsp;The name is inspired by traditional Japanese outfits but is more commonly used in&nbsp;Chinese&nbsp;garments.&nbsp;
CAPE SLEEVE&nbsp;&nbsp;
Long and flowy, cape sleeves give the illusion of wearing a cape. To achieve this, extra fabric is gathered and stitched at the shoulder&nbsp;to&nbsp;give a&nbsp;flared appearance.&nbsp;This sleeve is sometimes a part of the garment and other times, stitched as an extension.&nbsp;&nbsp;
PEASANT SLEEVE&nbsp;
A style that is a huge part of bohemian and hippie style dressing, peasant sleeves are&nbsp;loosely puffed at the shoulders and clamped with an elastic at the end. This sleeve can be found in both long and shorter lengths.&nbsp;&nbsp;
OFF-SHOULDER SLEEVE&nbsp;&nbsp;
One of the most popular styles, off-shoulder sleeves are completely bare on the shoulder and arms. While it&nbsp;has been&nbsp;spotted&nbsp;on tops and dresses for a long time, off-shoulder sleeves are now&nbsp;a common fixture on saree blouses as well.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
COLD SHOULDER SLEEVE&nbsp;&nbsp;
Somewhat similar to off-shoulder, cold shoulder sleeves are currently one of the most popular trends in the market. In this sleeve, you will either find a&nbsp;cut-out detailing at the shoulder or there will be straps holding the garment while the rest&nbsp;remains similar to a flowy off-shoulder.&nbsp;&nbsp;

While you may have hated matching your tops with your bottoms as a kid, if you wanna stay on top of trends in men’s fashion today, you will have to

While you may&nbsp;have&nbsp;hated matching your tops with your bottoms as a kid, if you wanna&nbsp;stay on top of trends in men&rsquo;s fashion today, you will have to change your mind about that. Co-ords, which basically means&nbsp;wearing a top that is in the same colour or pattern&nbsp;as your bottom, have been spotted on several celebrities this summer.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Whether it&rsquo;s a trickle-down from the international runways or men copying their women&rsquo;s wardrobe,&nbsp;everyone from Hardik Pandya to Ayushmann Khurana have given this trend a thumbs up.&nbsp;
Similar to tone-on-tone dressing, this trend requires little effort to put together and you don&rsquo;t have to waste any time wondering what goes with which shorts or trousers.&nbsp;&nbsp;
But to make sure you don&rsquo;t like a walking mannequin, pay attention to the styling of this trend.&nbsp;Stick to clean black or white sneakers to complete this look. You can add a fun backpack or utility bag&nbsp;and complete your outfit with a pair of vintage-style sunglasses.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Whether you pick a tie-and-dye print or stick to bold colours, this is an easy breezy and uber comfortable fashion trend.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Today we're talking about a pattern that&rsquo;s always on-trend in one way or another - floral prints.&nbsp;There is nothing&nbsp;groundbreaking&nbsp;about&nbsp;wearing florals in summer&nbsp;but if you want to wear your favourite print and still be on-trend, here&rsquo;s a flowery update for you!&nbsp;
A vintage-style floral pattern from the 1970s is all the rage this summer. From trendy Bollywood&nbsp;actors to international popstars, this retro floral print has gotten a thumbs up from everyone.&nbsp;
To spot the print, just remember that it looks like something that you might find on a wallpaper in an old house or as an eccentric sofa print from movies of the olden days.&nbsp;
If you plan to give this fashion trend a try, stick to all-over prints to make a statement and keep your accessories minimal and your makeup bright! This trend is not for the minimalists so don't be afraid to take things up a notch for this flowery bonanza.&nbsp;And the best part? As a trend, we absolutely love this one as it works for genders across the colourful spectrum.&nbsp;

The rising popularity of fast fashion now means that buying a new shirt or dress is often cheaper than a restaurant meal! But this also means that more and more people are not getting much wear from their clothes.

Game of Thrones fame actor Maisie&nbsp;Williams is facing&nbsp;criticism from online watchdogs after her appointment as the 'global sustainability ambassador' for H&amp;M. Sharing the news on Instagram, the actor said she's joining the brand to front its campaign to use only recycled or sustainable products by 2030.&nbsp;
However, people are not happy with Williams for promoting 'greenwashing' with the fast-fashion brand. In the fashion industry, greenwashing&nbsp;refers to the practice of conveying falsified information and giving&nbsp;misleading updates about how a company's products are more environmentally safe.&nbsp;
H&amp;M's actions as one of the biggest fast fashion labels in the world have often been deemed questionable and sustainability experts are not happy with Maisie's new association with the brand.

After being postponed and then cancelled, one of the fashion world's biggest nights, the Met Gala is back and is going to double down on celebrations this time.
New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art has announced that the annual fashion event will be organised in September this year and then again on its usual slot on the first Monday in May in 2022.
The September 13 celebration will be a more "intimate" one but both the events will highlight the same exhibit that is a survey of American fashion over the years.&nbsp;
Titled &ldquo;In America: A Lexicon of Fashion,&rdquo; the retrospective exhibition marks the 75th anniversary of the museum&rsquo;s Costume Institute.&nbsp;

We all love a pretty dupatta but often, after you&rsquo;ve worn a lehenga or salwar suit one too many times, the&nbsp;outfit&rsquo;s dupatta gets dumped into a dark corner of your wardrobe. Sometimes you&rsquo;re bored of the outfit, other times you just&nbsp;don&rsquo;t want to repeat the same look. But did you know that a great dupatta can save you from all these problems?&nbsp;Yes, a nice dupatta can take our same old outfit from drab to fab&nbsp;in a matter of seconds.&nbsp;
Let&rsquo;s take a look at some cool and quirky styles of dupattas that you must keep in your wardrobe and how they can help you step up your style game.&nbsp;
1. Live Royally With&nbsp;Lucknawi&nbsp;Chikankari&nbsp;
Chikankari&nbsp;work is a royal handwork technique that not only looks good in suits and sarees but also makes for elegant dupattas. This fine but beautiful handwork gives a royal touch to any outfit&nbsp;and will help you look polished and put together.&nbsp;
2. Play With Colours of&nbsp;Bandhani&nbsp;&nbsp;
You must have seen suits and saris with&nbsp;Bandhani&nbsp;print but it is not necessary to wear&nbsp;bandhani&nbsp;work in just these two ways.&nbsp;Keep&nbsp;a colourful&nbsp;bandhani&nbsp;tie&nbsp;and dye dupatta&nbsp;in&nbsp;your wardrobe&nbsp;to add a burst of colour to any plain Jane&nbsp;look.&nbsp;&nbsp;
3. Have Fun&nbsp;With&nbsp;Phulkari&nbsp;
One of the most beautiful hand embroideries from India, phulkari features floral geometric patterns&nbsp;woven&nbsp;with satin threads.&nbsp;Phulkari dupattas are integral to Punjabi suits, but you can pair them with any kind of suit or kurta. They also look cool with solid T-shirts and denim.&nbsp;
4. Unleash Your Kalamkari Artist&nbsp;
Featuring Indian and Persian artworks, Kalamkari dupattas come in both block and hand-printed forms. They look perfect with both Indian and Western outfits. Pair a statement&nbsp;Kalamari&nbsp;dupatta with&nbsp;a plain kurta and keep it minimal but elegant.&nbsp;&nbsp;
5. Banarasi&nbsp;Brocades Never Disappoint&nbsp;
You don&rsquo;t always have to reserve beautiful&nbsp;banarasi&nbsp;brocades for heavy sarees or lehengas. A&nbsp;Banarasi&nbsp;silk dupatta can make a simple outfit&nbsp;look more expensive.&nbsp;Contrast your&nbsp;Banarasi&nbsp;scarf with&nbsp;a colourful&nbsp;suit or lehenga&nbsp;to create a unique&nbsp;festive look&nbsp;on a budget.&nbsp;
With so many dupattas, it will be hard to run&nbsp;into another one of your&nbsp;fashion emergencies&nbsp;any time soon!&nbsp;&nbsp;

Whether you need a cute new workout outfit or just some comfortable sweatpants at home, young homegrown Indian labels have got you covered.&nbsp;The&nbsp;rise in&nbsp;demand for clothes that are both fashionable and comfortable&nbsp;has increased by manifold in the last few years giving birth to a hybrid term called athleisure.&nbsp;
The Indian fashion industry is definitely not sleeping on the trend. Going beyond the norm,&nbsp;some brands are taking an eco-conscious and ethical approach to produce their clothes.&nbsp;&nbsp;
From organic to fair trade cotton, here&nbsp;is&nbsp;the lowdown on&nbsp;X&nbsp;desi brands&nbsp;that&nbsp;are&nbsp;doing athleisure with a sustainable touch.&nbsp;&nbsp;
PROYOG&nbsp;
Designed with yoga practitioners&nbsp;in mind,&nbsp;Proyog&nbsp;places sustainability and performance&nbsp;as its prime&nbsp;proposition. From&nbsp;dhoti-shorts, wrap tops to infinity scarves with built-in pockets, the brand&nbsp;puts extensive research into their products, all of which are made from their trademark core-spun organic&nbsp;cotton.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
DEIVEE&nbsp;
The brainchild of model and fitness promoter&nbsp;Milind&nbsp;Soman,&nbsp;Deivee&nbsp;is designed with Indian sensibilities and&nbsp;body types in mind.&nbsp;Apart from yoga gear, the brand makes&nbsp;performance&nbsp;kurtis, harem pants and more. All of their products are made from eco-friendly&nbsp;materials like organic cotton, banana fibre, wild grass, coconuts and recycled polyester.&nbsp;&nbsp;
FUTURE OF&nbsp;&nbsp;
A much younger entrant in the leisurewear segment, Future Of seeks to reimagine the future of the fashion industry as sustainable and inclusive. The brand launched with a collection of&nbsp;gender-neutral&nbsp;loungewear in solid&nbsp;colours. All the pieces are made from 100% organic cotton.&nbsp;&nbsp;
While the likes of Nike, Adidas and even H&amp;M have also hopped on the sustainable fashion movement, nothing beats the joy of supporting the local brands and being a part of their success!

To&nbsp;say that checks are&nbsp;the season&rsquo;s hottest trend would be like saying florals are perfect for spring but bear with us.&nbsp;There&rsquo;s a particular style of check that is attracting&nbsp;all the eyeballs this summer.&nbsp;&nbsp;
From international runways to the trendiest celebrities, everyone is sporting the clean checkerboard pattern. While the print itself is nothing new,&nbsp;having been a mainstay for Vans shoes for ages, it has definitely been getting a lot more love recently.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Maybe the check or chessboard print is winning from the newfound virality of the game of chess, thanks to shows like Netflix&rsquo;s The Queen Gambit or maybe some nostalgia for the &lsquo;70s.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Whatever the cause, the&nbsp;checkered&nbsp;print is being spotted on everything from interiors and upholstery to fashionable bags and earrings. &nbsp;
If you want to give this trend a try in all its glory, you can wear checkered&nbsp;trouser&nbsp;with a plain black or white t-shirt. The print also&nbsp;adds a&nbsp;refreshing&nbsp;touch to&nbsp;swimsuits for a chic&nbsp;but&nbsp;summer-ready look.&nbsp;You can even buy some chessboard cushions or a cute check makeup bag to hop on this trend.

After recording one of the hottest March in many years, reports say that we&rsquo;re&nbsp;looking at possibly&nbsp;one of the warmest summer seasons of all time.&nbsp;There's not&nbsp;much we can do about the weather,&nbsp;apart from staying hydrated&nbsp;but a hot summer&nbsp;calls for an&nbsp;appropriately airy wardrobe.&nbsp;&nbsp;
And there is one item that is perfect for the sweltering heat - crop tops!&nbsp;So&nbsp;whip out your crop tops and we&rsquo;ll show you 5 ways to style this 2000s trend in the most&nbsp;non-boring way possible!&nbsp;
Layer&nbsp;With&nbsp;a Jacket&nbsp;&nbsp;
If you want to wear the crop top without feeling too naked, layer your top under an oversized light jacket. It is best to style a bright or statement tiny top under jackets&nbsp;for a casual but brunch-ready look.&nbsp;
Streetwear Ready
If you&rsquo;re not quite ready to bid goodbye to sweatpants, you can match your jersey crop tops with your bottoms.&nbsp;You can create a co-ord&nbsp;set or strike a colour blocked contrast in this uber comfortable look.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Skirt Up Your Style&nbsp;&nbsp;
Inarguably the queen of midriff-baring looks in Bollywood, take a cue from Disha Patani and pair a dressy crop top with a stylish skirt. You can&nbsp;buy a crop top that is in the same print as your skirt or mix and match from pieces already in your wardrobe.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Crop Shirt&nbsp;
If you&rsquo;re looking for a more grown-up and office-friendly way to try the trend, go for a cropped shirt. You can pair&nbsp;the cropped shirt with sleek coordinated&nbsp;trousers or just wear any straight fit bottoms from your closet.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Glam it up!
Another great way to style a crop top for a night out on the town is to wear a smart blazer with it. The blazer adds a glamorous&nbsp;yet structured look to the outfit, while the crop top underneath becomes that pop of fun to this otherwise formal outfit.&nbsp;
Which style will you be trying out in the near future?

It seems like the stay-at-home orders are here to stay for just a little bit longer. There are many things that the pandemic has stolen from our lives and shopping&nbsp;in&nbsp;our favourite stores is definitely one of them. If you&rsquo;re sick of being cooped up at home or just miss your old retail therapy sessions,&nbsp;we&nbsp;have a comforting list of alternative shopping options for you!&nbsp;&nbsp;
Even before the pandemic took hold, fashion and beauty brands had begun to embrace technology and immersive retail experiences to&nbsp;improve your online store trips.&nbsp;&nbsp;
British retailer Asos launched an online tool called &lsquo;See My Fit&rsquo; in January 2020 that allowed people to see how a certain outfit would look on different body types. While you couldn't actually try on each&nbsp;Asos&nbsp;dress, the tool promised to make the experience more inclusive for the different kinds of shoppers.&nbsp;
Similarly, make-up brands have been trying to nail personalised virtual technologies for a long time. From Maybelline&nbsp;and MAC&nbsp;to L&rsquo;Oreal,&nbsp;virtual try-on apps for makeup&nbsp;are a great way to test out products without actually going to the store. All you have to do is head to your favourite brand&rsquo;s website and let the technology map your&nbsp;facial features in real-time.&nbsp;&nbsp;
While there are fewer virtual options for sneakerheads, Wanna Kicks is a fantastic app&nbsp;for a virtual trying-on experience. The app features shoes from all the major brands including Nike, Adidas,&nbsp;Reebok&nbsp;and even some covetable high-fashion names like Gucci. Even if you can&rsquo;t afford the actual sneakers, you can try them on through this app for free!&nbsp;&nbsp;
If you miss the experience of just walking around the store, Indian high-end designer Manish Malhotra opened the country&rsquo;s first virtual couture store in January 2021.&nbsp;You can now swipe&nbsp;through the aisles, zoom in on the products, and get details of the item, all from the comfort of your homes.&nbsp;
If you especially miss your window shopping trips, a modern dress up game will be right up your alley! Created by a former magazine editor, Drest lets you&nbsp;digitally create avatars based on actual models in luxury fashion looks from the world&rsquo;s biggest brands.&nbsp;From Prada to Versace, there are clothes from over 200 labels on this iOS app for you to play around with!&nbsp;
While the virtual try-ons&nbsp;may not be perfect yet, these options&nbsp;offer a very exciting&nbsp;window into the future of fashion!&nbsp;&nbsp;

You would think that a pandemic wouldn&rsquo;t exactly become the stage for the latest fashion trends but that&nbsp;doesn&rsquo;t seem to be the case.&nbsp;In 2020, sweatpants, baggy t-shirts and house dresses became the quarantine uniform of choice around the world. And while most of us&nbsp;are still living the same lockdown life, there seems to be a crop of new&nbsp;vaccine-ready&nbsp;fashion trends&nbsp;taking over the&nbsp;world.&nbsp;
As more and more younger people become eligible to get a jab of Covid-19 vaccines&nbsp;in the US,&nbsp;fashion&nbsp;brands are cashing in on the opportunity with clothes that&nbsp;suit&nbsp;their vaccine appointment&nbsp;needs.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Of these, cold-shoulder tops are&nbsp;looking to be&nbsp;the biggest hit.&nbsp;American singer Dolly Parton popularised the trend by wearing a blue cold-shoulder top&nbsp;to&nbsp;get her Pfizer jab&nbsp;in early March.&nbsp;After which, Hilary Clinton chimed in by posting an old picture of herself wearing a strikingly similar top.&nbsp;
Online retailer Revolve Clothing has even started mentioning &lsquo;Vaccine Ready&rsquo; as a garment feature on its site.&nbsp;The category, which basically features tops and dresses that bare at least one shoulder,&nbsp;quickly became the topic of debate on social media.&nbsp;While some&nbsp;have mocked the brand for selling $250 vaccine shirts, others say why not?&nbsp;&nbsp;
But the cold shoulder, a hit trend from the 1990s and early 2000s,&nbsp;isn&rsquo;t the only jab-friendly&nbsp;look&nbsp;on the scene.&nbsp;Cut-out&nbsp;features&nbsp;on&nbsp;tops and complete&nbsp;cut-out&nbsp;looks are also having a hot moment&nbsp;amongst celebrities and on glossy fashion magazines as people look to subliminally promote vaccinations.&nbsp;
While it might sound bizarre to buy a new top for just a vaccine appointment, the trend&nbsp;seems to&nbsp;represent&nbsp;a&nbsp;universal&nbsp;sense of&nbsp;willingness&nbsp;to get&nbsp;your&nbsp;shot and&nbsp;return&nbsp;to&nbsp;life before the pandemic.&nbsp;&nbsp;

H&amp;M, Nike and some other retail giants are facing boycott in China after they reportedly took a stand against the alleged use of forced labour to produce cotton in the XInjiang region. China has been accused of human rights violations against the Uighur Muslim minority. On Thursday, H&amp;M products were missing from Alibaba Group's TMall and JD.com, two of China's most popular online retailers among other sites. Celebrities have also reportedly cut off their ties with some brands. The latest backlash began when the Communist party's Youth League on Wednesday called attention to an H&amp;M statement in March last year that it would stop buying cotton from Xinjiang in China's northwest. H&amp;M said it was "deeply concerned" about reports of forced labor there. China's foreign ministry said that the accusation of forced labour in Xinjiang was a 'malicious lie'.
