Dress up in your finest; make a style statement

Oscar Wilde once said that ‘looking good and dressing well is a necessity!’ This popular quote not only applies on women, but also on men. If you (read men) dressed well, you are bound to make an impression on onlookers or people around you. On the other hand, if you don’t care of your dressing, then you may face difficulty in making an impression on other people. And since first impression is the last impression, bad attire may create trouble for you.

But, what makes style? You can say style includes many things, but broadly, it refers to the way you dress. Your sense of dressing not only adds a punch to your personality, but it also reveals the way you want to explore yourself to the world. Good ensemble also boosts the confidence level of the wearer and helps in making a positive impression.

No matter, whether you are a student or a working professional or a businessman, good attire can do wonders for you. As a student, you can make a positive impression on the teacher with your good dressing. Even if you are a businessman or a working professional, your dressing will help you in making a positive impression on clients. It is true that all successful businessmen dress well.

Colour combination is very important. For instance, you can wear a white linen shirt with a pair of blue denims and sneakers on any casual day out with friends. You can wear grey or black business suit styled with a white shirt and black or brown formal shoes on any business meeting. A pair of casual clothing is ideal for a romantic date.

Now, the question arises how to style your clothes? Before finalising apparels, you must consider the occasion you are going to attend. Select appropriate attire for the occasion. Style the dress with right accessories and you are sure to mark your presence. Wearing rare accessories help you in standing apart from the crowd. Like if you wear a rare Swiss analogue watch then your watch is bound to receive attention from onlookers. Similarly, if you are wearing cufflinks, a bracelet, a tie pin, a pocket square and other accessories, then you will definitely receive accolades for your good dressing sense. Also, wear a right fragrance and leather accessories to complete your look.

In short, good attire will boost your confidence level and help you in making an impression on onlookers. Wear something that makes a lasting impression on people you met.

Looking for useful hair care tips for rainy season?


Hair care is essential in rainy season! If you are looking for some useful and effective hair care tips during rainy season then this post is valuable for you. This post will provide you with preventive hair care measures during rainy season.

It is true that rain brings a relief from the summer. On the other hand, it brings a lot of humidity. The humid weather in the monsoon impacts the scalp and hair in a significant manner. It simply spells disaster for your mane and makes your hair frizzy, scalp greasy and result in hair fall. Rain also turns the hair lifeless. Therefore, it is essential to follow a concrete hair care regimen.

Protection of hair from rain showers and a balanced diet will do wonders for your hair. One needs to include fresh fruits, raw salads, sprouts and yogurt in the daily diet. Besides this, conditioning is also helpful in maintaining health of hair.

Some of the useful hair care tips for rainy season are as follows:

  • Balanced diet: Though hair growth and texture vary from person to person, hair health also depends on your diet. All types of hair require certain amount of attention. So, eat a balanced diet, especially eatables that are rich in protein, mineral and calcium. Always remember that vitamins and iron play a very important role in maintaining healthy hair. Salad, fruits, beetroots and other vitamin-rich eatables are sure to make your hair healthy. Also, drink at least eight glasses of water daily and avoid oily food. 
  • Cover your hair: Always protect your hair from rain, as pollutants present in rain water may weaken the shaft bonds, making your hair dull and limp. Always carry an umbrella to protect yourself from raining. Also use a scarf or a hat to protect your strands or tie a ponytail. 
  • Go for short cuts: Short hair are easy to maintain and manageable. So, go and get a cool and trendy short haircut this season.  
  • Wash your hair well: Keep your hair neat and clean. Wash them on every alternate day. Apply coconut oil before washing as it deeply penetrates the scalp and hair strands. 
  • Use the right products: Make sure that you are using branded and genuine hair care products. Please don’t just buy products off the shelf, driven by enticing advertisements. Also, avoid tying your hair or putting a hair accessory when it’s wet.
  • Keep it natural: During rainy season, try to avoid hot hair-treatments such as perming, straightening or colouring, as these need time to settle on your strands. Moreover, these treatments tend to weaken the hair shaft and promote breakage, hair fall and split ends.
The above mentioned tips will definitely help protecting your hair during rainy season.

Looking for useful fashion tips for rainy season?


If you are looking for some useful fashion tips for rainy season then this post is valuable for you.

The monsoon season has just checked in many parts of India and it is the time to bring out a fashionable rain gear. There is no denying of the fact that monsoon showers bring the much needed respite from the scorching sun. But, these showers also bring some problems, especially with clothing and make-up. So, it is high time to update your rain wardrobe with trendy and functional items that will lend you that perfect look, even in darker rainy season. 

It is also true that rain showers are capable of troubling your make-up. But, don’t worry; the following tips will help you in making the style statement, even during rainy season:
  • What to buy: The very first weapon of countering rain showers is umbrella. Today, the market is flooded with cute and attractive umbrellas and umbrellas with attractive prints are high in demand. The second most important accessory, which is a must-have is a nice trench coat. There are plethora of options available in the market, so check out the most impressive and cute trench coat and get ready to receive compliments from onlookers.
  • Selection of clothing: Cloth selection during monsoon is one of the most crucial areas. Please avoid wearing white and light shade cloths as these may invite embarrassing movement for you. Also avoid jeans because these will take hours to dry once got wet. Try to wear loose clothing in darker shades. Basic hues such as black, red, navy blue, dark brown and tan are also good choices. Also throw in some colourful scarves and hats for added accents.
  • Selection of footwear: It is advisable not to wear heels in rainy season, as these can make you slip. If you have plans for enjoying rain showers then wear short skirts or Capri then flip flops or plane sandals. Rain boots and rubber sandals are always perfect for rain. If you love wearing traditional ethnic clothing like saree, salwar-kameez or churidars then wear sandals with ankle straps.
  • Protective Gear: Always carry a raincoat or foldable umbrella with you so that you can avoid getting wet and spoiling your makeup and clothes. Use bright color or transparent umbrella/rain coats. You can try kids umbrella too as they are bright and looks cute.
