A corset can add a unique touch to a festival outfit. Pair it with a fringed skirt or shorts, and some cowboy boots for a fun and boho look. Don’t forget to add a flower crown or a statement hat to complete the festival vibe…reports N Lothungbeni Humtsoe
Corsets have been around for centuries, and they have evolved from being an undergarment worn primarily by women to a versatile piece of clothing that can be styled in many different ways.
Whether you’re looking to add a touch of glamour to your night out, create a unique festival outfit, or make a statement at a formal event, a corset can be a great addition to your wardrobe.
In this listicle, Suman Bharti, Founder of Bunny Corset shares five ways to style a corset for various occasions, from a casual weekend outing to a glam night out. So, whether you’re a corset enthusiast or just looking to try something new, read on for some fashion inspiration.
Casual Weekend Outing: For a laid-back weekend look, pair a corset with high-waisted jeans or a skirt. This will create a flattering silhouette while still maintaining a casual vibe. To add some edge to your outfit, throw on a denim or leather jacket and some ankle boots. Formal Event: A corset can be an elegant and sophisticated option for a formal event. Pair it with a flowing maxi skirt or a pair of tailored trousers, and add some statement jewellery and a pair of heels to complete the look. Choose a corset in a luxurious fabric like satin or velvet for a more elevated feel. Office Wear: Although a corset may not be the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of office wear, it can work if styled appropriately. Pair it with a blazer, tailored pants or a pencil skirt, and some pumps for a sophisticated and professional look. Make sure to choose a more conservative corset style, in a solid colour or a subtle pattern, to keep the outfit office-appropriate.

Remember, when wearing a corset, it’s important to choose one that fits well and is comfortable to wear. Don’t forget to layer and accessorise to create a complete and stylish outfit.

Go for small or handy bags: Instead of letting your pants sag with the keys, phone, charger, earbuds, and all your accessories, choose to go modish with small or handy bags. Bags like messenger, cross body, beach, and gym bags are designed to give stylish room to all your everyday essentials…writes N. LOTHUNGBENI HUMTSOE
Co-ords have come a long way to becoming socially acceptable. From a slouchy outfit to gaining a bona fide status in the menswear world, this loungewear is the best style statement to wear nowadays! To create a modish look, co-ord set is the most comfortable and chic and can be worn from parties to drive-in date. The best way to style is to keep it simple and accessories minimally. Ashutosh Sirohiya, Senior Designer, Snitch shares five different tips to style co-ords for men:
Accessorise with chains, bracelets, and glasses: Co-ords come in various assortments such as flower print, one solid colour, animal print, and so much more! It’s recommend selecting minimalistic accessories for a balanced look to best carry the co-ord sets with busy prints. When you choose to wear one solid colour co-ord, it’s fun to complete the look with large and dramatic accessories.
Shoes that suit the co-ord set: You can style your comfy and stylish co-rd with the shoes that suit to make it a chic style statement. If you want to amp up your style game, then pair a simple patterned co-ord set with sneakers, solid and dark coloured co-ords with trainers, dye-printed co-ords with buckle strap open-toe flats, and funky printed co-ords with Hawaiian slippers.
Go for small or handy bags: Instead of letting your pants sag with the keys, phone, charger, earbuds, and all your accessories, choose to go modish with small or handy bags. Bags like messenger, cross body, beach, and gym bags are designed to give stylish room to all your everyday essentials. Remember to choose the right bag depending upon the place you are visiting and the occasion you are wearing the co-ord for.
Layer with an over shirt and jacket: Layering is a four-season look and it’s always recommended to define the layering first to see how it interacts with your co-ord set. T-shirt co-ord with knee shorts or pajama can be layered with an oversized shirt or jacket. Layering with a contrasting coloured cardigan or knitwear in winter will add warmth to your look and will go well with the look.
Keep it untucked or partially tucked: Simple rule to abide by before you decide to untuck or partially tuck the co-ord shirt- maximum style or optimal comfort! Quickly scan the hem of your shirt. If the hem is even, untucked is the best way to go. If the hem is uneven, it’s meant to be tucked/partially tucked. Not every time scanning the hem helps you decide it. You can also check the fabric. Untuck the shirt if the fabric is bulky or stiff (denim, wool) and you can partially tuck the shirt if the fabric is light (linen, cotton, satin).

Known for living on the edge, Hrithik Roshan takes the starring role as a modern explorer for Swiss watchmaker Rados campaign to launch the Captain Cook High-Tech Ceramic.
In the new brand video, Hrithik is seen walking through the wilderness and embracing its spirit at its peak. In this immersive experience with nature, he embodies the ethos and curiosity of the contemporary voyager, eager to discover and feel with abandon.
The culmination of many years of research and development, the Captain Cook High-Tech Ceramic represents Rado DNA in its purest form. It features a number of the brand’s most stellar achievements, including the innovative high-tech ceramic monobloc case construction, scratch-resistant and hypoallergenic high-tech ceramic, and the premium Rado calibre R734, whose anti-magnetic NivachronTM hairspring protects the timepiece from magnetic fields.
The four new Captain Cook High-Tech Ceramic models feature a 43mm diameter high-tech ceramic case, three in black high-tech ceramic with high-tech ceramic or rubber bracelets and the fourth in the distinctive plasma high-tech ceramic case and bracelet. All are powered by the Rado calibre R734 with an 80-hour power reserve and water resistance to 30 bar (300m). The dial and case back are crafted in black-tinted sapphire crystal, allowing the wearer to admire the inner workings of the skeletonised movement, and Super- LumiNova details ensure clear visibility in the dark.
The launch of the new Captain Cook High-Tech Ceramic is timed to celebrate a milestone, the Bollywood celebrity’s 10th anniversary of his premiere as global brand ambassador for the renowned Swiss watchmaker. We caught up with Hrithik to find out his thoughts. Read Excerpts: Industries like travel tourism, events and films have been the hardest hit.. are you excited to start jet setting again and are you looking forward to cinemas reopening?
The last two years have been challenging on a number of accounts. From health, emotional wellbeing to change in the dynamics of businesses.
Personally, as an actor, cinemas are out of reach and film shoots are on hold due to travel and movement constraints. It has been a dystopian experience. I’m just relieved to begin getting back to normalcy. If the experience of the recent past has taught me anything is the strong spirit of survival that runs through us living beings. In the near future, I see the industries bounce back, stronger (fingers crossed).
Your go to style?
The definition of style to me is a comfortable solution to your daily hustle requirements. So going by how my day is planned, my style mantra would be to opt for basics that meet the demand of my work while keeping me comfortable. Change is the only constant and time is of the essence, do you feel one needs to be flexible or ahead of the game?
Well, change is the crux of evolution, isn’t it? To me, change is an inevitable part of human nature. It’s more of a personal calling than a worldly trend. The best way to embrace change is to focus on yourself, living your idea of the best life and being the best version of yourself. Change, in fact, is what keeps me going.
It’s been a decade of synergy between you and the brand.. how do you feel about it?
Well, it’s been really satisfying. In all ways, the fact that they actually make a product that I like and really enjoy wearing.
With Rado, my journey started at such a young age. My dad used to wear it and I remember the watch, I used to imagine myself wearing it when I grew up. Little did I know that I would be the brand ambassador for it. It’s been a long journey and I’ve really enjoyed working with Rado. I love their innovative pursuit. I love subtleties, aesthetics that are not too in your face and Rado resonates with the same emotion.

One has to also look in the mirror before being on the camera. Comb your hair so that you do not look you’re right out of bed…writes Puja Gupta.
WFH has become a routine-like lifestyle. With the second wave of coronavirus, work from home has made a comeback! Here are a few tips by Shivam Soni, CEO, and Founder, Beyoung Folks Private Limited to help you get ready for all your virtual meetings and conference calls.
Pick Your Comfort Zone
The first and foremost benefit people enjoy is that they can pick their comfort level without the pencil skirts or high heels. The pleasure of shorts and shirts together with flip flops while you are “working from home” is unbeatable. Men have been teaming their boxers with shirts, which is a delightful twist to work wear.
Balance Home And Work
One has to assure your work decorum stays in place when WFH. So, never forget be at the top of your game even at home. Well it doesn’t mean you need a tie, but you can simply be ready for a virtual meeting with crisply ironed shirts. Wear your professionalism.
Do Not Forget It’s Work
One has to also look in the mirror before being on the camera. Comb your hair so that you do not look you’re right out of bed. Women should continue to wear their makeup as sometimes your face in the video speaks louder than your words.
A Pattern Which Is Noticeable
Wear some patterns like stripes and checks. Even colours do the trick. For instance, try your hands on bold coloured styles like mustard yellow, black, red or blue. All these colours make for a memorable look.
If you haven’t bothered thus far it’s time to maybe shop online on a number of retailers who are delivering. Also pick accessories to make an impact.
