5 Ways To Repeat Clothes in your Daily Life:

The fast fashion industry is big business – and it’s only getting bigger. Before we go any further – what exactly determines a fast fashion retailer? Essentially, it is when the production process is accelerated in order to get new catwalk trends into stores or online as quickly as possible. It also reflects the growing consumer desire for speed and value within retail.

Brands such as H&M and Zara were said to be among the very first fast fashion retailers. When the latter opened its first US store in 1990 (having first launched in Spain in the 1970s) it announced that it would only take 15 days for a garment to go from concept to completion.

The fast fashion industry has come under fire in recent years for its impact on the environment, as well as suggestions that the demand for cheap clothing is driving poor working and labour conditions.

If you want to cut down on your fast-fashion habits or simply cannot afford to buy a new outfit for every occasion, there are plenty of ways to refurbish old looks and make a once-worn ensemble look off-the-rack new.

I do feel that repeating outfits can be surprisingly easy, but does take some creativity. Not everyone has enough clothes to wear a different ensemble every day. Hence, Voguenaari has found 5 ways to recycle your favourite outfits to wear again and again. In this way, we all can support sustainability.

5 Ways To Repeat Clothes in your Daily Life:

1. Layering :

Layering isn’t just a dressing technique. There are several things to know for layering like a pro. Personally, I think layering equals fashion. Right? I bet I am right. You have to layer yourself professionally. If you layer 200 pieces at once, you gotta look weird. Certainly, you have to experiment with lengths, colors, textures, patterns, trends and structure, but do it wisely.

Best ways to style your outfits through layering are:

Pair your Oversized Denim jacket with elongated white tee & knee ripped black skinnies.
A hoodie looks pretty cool worn atop black fit-and-flare dress styled with black leather skinny trousers tucked in pointed-toe black leather ankle-boots.
Wear your black denim jackets with any bold colour jumpsuit or short dress.
As bold colours are in trend, try wearing neon’s with your cool denims.
Layer your plain kurti with printed pants & jackets along with oxidised jewellery.
Style your printed tops with white denim shorts & bright colour shirt.

You can easily reuse your old shirts as jackets for layering, patch your torn denims to look more trendy, dupatta as scarf & chop your denim so that you can use them as shorts.

2. Experiment is a must.

It is always important to experiment while you’re planning to mix-match your outfits. You can style your simple white dress in 6 different ways like:

Pair it with a thick belt, pastel long skirt, oversized denim shirt/jacket, bright coloured palazzo pants ,Dupatta, etc.

The best way to turn a look around is sometimes to literally turn it around,”

Try wearing your shirts in an asymmetrical way (or) wear your tops with zipper in a reverse way (or)wear your short skirt as a tube top. Convert a long sleeved-shirt into a skirt in seconds by pulling it over your legs and bum and then tying the sleeves around your waist into a bow. These looks can make you look out of the box.

TIP: You can also try doing a DIY with your outfits such as Have a sequin garment you don’t wear anymore? Remove the sequins and sprinkle them into a vase of flowers. Gorgeous! (or) you can take a plain top and make it sparkling ready for a party by sticking sequins.

3. Create a Capsule Wardrobe

The trick to having variety in your style without having to change your outfit every single day is to invest in a handful of key, good-quality pieces that can be easily mixed and matched.

For example: A little black dress, White maxi dress, denim shorts, leather skirt, plain basic tees, etc.

How to select your capsule collection:

Sum: Decide how many items you want in your capsule.

See: Lay out everything you have so you can see your full range of options.

Sort: Rate your items, an decide what you want to keep.

Select: Select the items you want to include after sorting.

Shed: put the remaining items back in your closet or in a donation bin, depending on what your goals are.

“So what are some items you need for your capsule wardrobe?

In my experience, you can’t go wrong with well-fitted mom jeans, a check menswear blazer, an elegant slip dress, a classic leather jacket, comfortable mule flats, a crisp white shirt, cool sneakers, and an oversized cashmere sweater. These items can all be dressed up or down with accessories depending on the occasion.”

4. Accessories do make an impact

The secret to look great in even the most basic clothes, something that the world’s most stylish girls have mastered: the art of accessorizing.

Your clothes can be totally basic and you’ll still look incredible if you add the right accessories. You can find incredible accessories at any budget, so it’s a great way to stretch your wardrobe and save money. But remember not to over do it. Here are some more tips to accessorizing like a pro:

Long necklaces are a hot trend.
If you’re wearing an outfit that is big and voluminous, scale back on the accessories. If you’re wearing something sleeker, you can go a little bigger and bolder with a chunky cocktail ring or big, bright handbag.
Large earrings can be a great way to dress up a casual or formal outfit.
Add a wide belt over a flowy dress, or use a brightly colored belt over a black cardigan and white tank to add interest to the outfit and emphasize your curves.
The more basic the outfit, the bolder your accessories can be.
If your outfit is plain (black and white, black and grey, etc.), create a pop of color with jewelry, a scarf, a handbag, or a bright shoe. Remember that outfits don’t have to MATCH, but they do have to GO – keep things in similar color families (warm colors or cool colors), and you’ll generally be fine.
Headgears are also in trend like bandana,etc.

TIP: Exercise a little bit of restraint with accessories – if you have statement earrings on, don’t add bangles, a cocktail ring, and a scarf. Keep it to one or two main pieces.

Best places to find quirky accessories are:

Limeroad, Snapdeal, Amazon, Amarapali and many more.

5. Hairstyles makes a difference.

Along with the dressing style, hairstyle also matters the most. If you have styled your outfit perfectly but your hair look clumsy, then you’re look is incomplete. Sometimes, you don’t even have to try mixing and matching clothing items to spruce up your look. Keep your attire the same, but experiment with different hairstyles to transform the look instead. How you style your hair plays a large role in how you choose to re-wear an outfit. Try braiding, putting up a bun or a high pony, sleek straight hair, which will make you look different in all your looks.

As, Global demand for clothing looks set to increase significantly over the coming decade, as millions of people in developing countries enter the middle class and spend more on apparel. It has become necessary to have control on your shopping abilities. Try to essentially use your clothes, and repeat clothes in your daily life .

How to Dress Up like Ranveer Singh

You might be thinking… Why this topic? Not because he is my favourite but because he is an inspiration for the Gen-Next these days.

Chic, Cringe-worthy or Cool! What do I call him? Hardly I have seen men experimenting with colour and bling but it is Ranveer Singh who doesn’t shy away from wearing shiny shirts, dhotis, skirts and even stepping out with kohl-lined eyes.

Ranveer Singh has turned to be a wild child of fashion in India. From vibrant patterns and neon to flamboyant colours and bling, you name it and he has worn it. Whether it is his red carpet appearances or airport looks, he stuns fashion police every time he steps out. Moreover, his OTT sunglasses should be given the credit for an additional quirk to his overall look.

Think of something that is conventional fashion, and you will see that Ranveer Singh’s style sense is something completely different and off-beat. But here are a few things I specifically love about his style.

Fashion is a way with which you can express your individuality. Ranveer Singh is not an average stylish man, he has created a statement for himself and even coined as one of the best-dressed men.

The best part is that his style is as tastefully eccentric as his personality, thanks in no small part to his always-ready-to-experiment stylist Nitasha Gaurav. Nitasha spills some of Ranveer’s style secrets. She says: “He loves to colour, he is flamboyant and extremely confident as a person. He is not looking for approval. And that immediately sets him free in a way that you can’t even imagine. He wears what he is drawn to. He likes to wear print on print on print. He is almost childlike, actually!

So, to dress up like Ranveer Singh, one should be Exuberant, classy, experimental and most importantly Be Confident.

Here are 5 styling tips to dress up in Ranveer Singh Style :

Play with Prints: Ranveer Singh is never going to limit his options, and we can be sure of that. He is the one male celebrity in India, who never fails to hit the news regarding his outfits for public appearances. Whether it’s a sly comment or just appreciation, he has managed to impact many mindsets when it comes to fashion.

Style Tip: Don’t stick to the boring single colour outfits. Experiment with different patterns like floral & polka dots, checks & stripes, animal prints etc.

Shop This Look : Koovs, Zara, Shivan & Narresh ,Aza Fashions.

2. Unique Textures: Forget the safe options, and try out some out-of-the-box textures to add dimension to a drab suit. Metallics, velvets, and suedes are all materials that Ranveer has worn to flaunt his personal style.

Style Tip: Try unique textures , it’s not compulsory to wear heavy suede & leather suits you can also try textures in the form of accessories like Knit ties (bumpy surface),Brogued shoes (decorated with punched holes), Suede shoes (not just for Elvis and pretty easy to take care of),Woven shoes and belt (made of interlaced leather strips), Leather jackets (from smooth to distressed),Tooled belts (solid leather with stamped designs),Silk pocket squares (shimmery-smooth texture). Be wary of mixing too much texture. Textured accents with larger textured pieces such as a tweed suit and a knit tie, for example, makes you look downright woolly.

Shop this look: Rohit Bal , Manish Arora, Kanika Goyal .

3.Bright Colours: As mentioned by his stylist, Ranveer loves colours. But very few men love to experiment. If you look closely at the spelling of V.I.B.G.Y.O.R you will see R.A.N.V.E.E.R hidden in it. It was also somewhere around this time that children stopped purchasing crayon boxes and started purchasing Ranveer instead. If you’re not ready to go all out with patterns yet, take heed from Ranveer and opt for bolder colours like electric blue, yellow, orange instead. It will help you stand out from the crowd without being too over-the-top.

Style Tip: Spring and summer are the perfect seasons for having a little fun with your wardrobe. Fill your drawers with other awesome shades like mustard yellow, olive green, treetop, navy, and burnt orange. The sky is the limit here. Stick to your favourite hues, and venture out by exploring all of their endless varieties. If blue is your colour, go crazy with everything from baby blue to cobalt.

Shop this Look:Dior Men, Adidas Originals .

4.Bling is King: You all might have seen Ranveer wearing those Glittery Tracksuits. Ranveer was seen at an event in a bright and sparkly millennial pink bomber jacket, from Manish Arora. Shine & Glitter makes you look out of the Box. Be it a maxi dress or blazer, there is more than one way to wear the sparkle and shine in it too.

Style Tip- Glittery outfits have always been the best choice of evening parties. Sequins blazers in an evening party or an accessory can also make you look extravagant.

Shop This Look: Manish Arora Fashion

5.The Desi Munda: Ranveer Singh has routinely set my hearts racing when he does Indian clothing, owing to the fact that he’s god gift to Mankind and all. No one is as fearless and as fiercely original as he is. My most favourite traditional looks of Singh are: His Banglore Reception Look in Rohit Bal Ensemble.

StyleTip –If you are facing a lack of choices, take that black kurta out, pair it with your black lowers, and you are good to go. If you want to be experimental (Which I strongly Suggest), pair your kurta with – a) Patiala Pants, b) Aligarh pyjamas, c) Dhoti pants and and and … d) HAREMS! Not only are they comfortable, but also easy to carry and hassle-free. Feel stylish and comfortable.

Shop This Look: Rohit Bal, Sabyasachi, Tarun Tahiliani.

Fashion is a way of doing something, and a popular trend. There will be trend followers and trendsetters, and I think Ranveer is definitely a trendsetter. He creates bold and fashionable pieces that stand out and encourage us to try something new too! He is daring and extravagant, wacky, but still manages to steal our hearts and words are not enough to describe his style.

I am waiting for the day when Ranveer starts his own clothing line and instead of being served the same old men’s fashion, I can see men wear more experimental and fun clothes. After all, why should girls have all the fun?

So lastly, let your outfit do the talking!! And be confident in whatever you wear, and you will get to Ranveer’s level. So what are you waiting for? Update your wardrobe and dress with no limits!!

Simple Ways to choose a Perfect Tattoo

While the question may seem simple enough asking, “What is a Tattoo?” Tattoos are permanent markings on the skin made by way of ink and needles. Once the ink is deposited into the second layer of skin known as the dermis, the wound scabs over and the skin heals to expose a design under the new layer. The practice is now an acceptable form of body art.

Tattoos are incredebily popular among teens & young adults as itseems to be a modern fashionable trend these days in India too. Tattoos tell a story and can be written in any language. From symbols depicting cultural images to words and font designs, if you dare to dream it, a tattooist can likely create it and tell your tale on a living canvas.

To celebrate life, choices, and to pay tribute and memorial to life’s purpose and companions, tattoos have the artful ability to speak volumes.

Many people choose to remember those they love and honor traditions and life events with a tattoo. As the saying goes, a picture speaks a thousand words.

You may have many questions before getting your first tattoo. What do I want? Where do I want? Who is the right artist? Is it safe or not?
Believe me, before you get permanently inked, these are good questions to be asking yourself. (And, by the way, I have the answer for all.) But there’s a lot more to the experience of getting a tattoo—and coming up with the design, and taking care of it afterward—that you probably wouldn’t think to ask about before you go under the needle for the first time.

When searching for the tattoo inspiration, internet is full of wonderful design ideas & images. But not always do these fit your needs. Let’s start by knowing our goal .i.e.
The goal is to have your tattoo for the long haul, though, so choosing one that feels true to you is the single most important factor to consider when making your decision.

Kind Of Tattoos:

• Significant Dates: Whether you just got engaged or married or gave birth to your first child, dates make for amazing tattoos as they serve as a singular reminder of a significant moment in your life. Dates can be written in countless different styles, fonts, roman numerical , calligraphy & Calender graphics. This type of tattoo will definitely make you happy whenever you look at it.

• Portraits: You don’t have to get a detailed design of your grandmom’s face- to call it a portrait tattoo. In fact, you can stick to a figure of your favourite pet if that’s so special for you. Portraits make for a very meaningful tattoos as they remind us of someone we love or miss the most.

• Quotes & Lyrics: Everyone has a favourite quote, phrase or lyric which is probably why so many people choose to get them tattooed. You can also listen to an old song you love, read cards you have saved or try thinking about specific sayings or mottos which may have shared with you for inspiration.

Tattoo Placement for first-timers:

All tattoos hurt, no matter what and its a fact. How many ever reviews you read, no one can change the fact that , tattoo by definition is the pain. The pain is just the part of the price you pay to have such a unique addition to your body. For a first-timer, you can probably choose that area of the body that is less sensitive to needles on the skin. The ribs, hands, feet, knees and elbows are considered to be some of the most painful places on the body to be tattooed.

The best places on the body to get your tattoo done are Wrist, Thigh, Shoulder, Forearm, Calves, Bicep, etc.

Few Tips before you get your first tattoo done:

Here are a few secret tips for having a best tattoo experience.

Plan Your Schedule: If you’re planning to go on a vacation, it is going to be a bad idea. During your healing process, you simply cannot do normal everyday things. For instance, no tanning, sun soaking at the beach, swimming, etc.

Go in healthy: Before heading to a tattoo shop, skip the fast food diet & junk food. Eat a good meal the night before and a good breakfast before you go. Stay Hydrated, Stay healthy.

Know what you can & cannot afford: Remember, tattoos are expensive. Tattoo is an art & it might be insulting to negotiate with a tattoo artist.

Bring your Friend: Make sure you have a buddy that can hold your hand and look at it while it’s happening. Chew gum. It helps take away the pain

Do your Homework: Make sure you do your homework on reputable shops & tattoo artists. It is very important to get your tattoo done in a good place. Overall just have fun.

Make sure you feel Comfortable: You need to feel comfortable in the tattoo shop that you are planning to go to as well as be comfortable with the person who is giving you that tattoo. Play music to distract you from pain.

Start Small: Tattoo is a piece of art that will be on your body for the rest of your life. Make sure you’re happy with the design beforehand and have added your own flare. You can get smaller tattoos done which will help you prepare for the larger one.

Think Carefully about your Placement: Be 10,000 per cent sure of what you want to get, where you get it, and how it may affect you in the future.

After Care is Important: Be sure your artist covers your new tattoo in a thin layer of petroleum jelly and a bandage. Remove the bandage after 24 hours. Keep applying a moisturizer or ointment after you clean it to keep it moist. You should repeat this process for 2 to 4 weeks. Always put sunscreen on it, especially in the summer, to keep the colours bright — SPF 45 or higher is best.

Ask Advice: If you’re still confused, take the advice of your friends & family. Or read blogs for trendy designs & concepts.

Trend Forecast For Tattoo in 2019:

Tattoo trends change & evolve over time. We are predicting few tattoo trends of 2019 like Hand tattoos, Imperfect Illustrations, 90’s ignorant tattoos, Ear Tattoos, Detailed Florals, Bigger & Bolder pieces of art, Colourful ink tattoo, etc which are the biggest trends we can expect everyone asking for this year.

Lastly, let’s face it, your first tattoo is a brave decision on your part. Like any commitment, it often comes with worry attached to it.
Just make sure to pick a spot that’s within fingertip reach for easy tattoo aftercare, unless you have someone who’s willing and able to massage your creams in for you.

5 Summer Shopping tips for Men | The VogueNaari

“Do you like Shopping ?”Men & women always have different views about shopping. According to a survey, most of the men get bored after 26 minutes of shopping, while it took women a full two hours. But let me also let you all know that there are also millions of men & women for whom these characteristics don’t apply. Here is a blog about 5 Summer shopping tips for men to make their Summer more stylised.

According to style experts, the RIGHT WAY to shop for clothes aligns way better with men’s preferences. Don’t you think so?

Summer & Fashion don’t always go hand in hand for men. Whether you want edgy, athletic, rugged, or anything in between, this is the Summer to step it up and make it happen.

Top 5 Summer Shopping Tips For Men:

1. Know your colour of the season:

Have an idea of what your wardrobe should contain. (Will be mentioned in my next blog)

While thinking about the wardrobe, the major factor to consider is your lifestyle, your profession & your environment. It’s basically what all clothing essentials you need to look great everyday?

Make sure your wardrobe is versatile. Most of the men have neutral colours like black, grey, navy blue & tan already in their wardrobe but during summer, soft summer colours are subtle, ethereal, calm, gentle & mysterious so you can go pastel colours like Yellow, mint green, Lilac, Grey, Sky Blue, Peach, Green,etc.

2. Buy a Good Pair of Shorts:

I know this is quite obvious but a good pair of shorts like chino shorts, denim short or athletic short is an essential of your summer wardrobe. While you buy a good pair of shorts few things are very essential like : they end just above knees, they don’t add excess bulk through cargo-like pockets ( for a good silhouette) , neither too tight nor too loose, basically the fit is very important for a perfect look.

3. Be Bold with your Choices:

Summer is the time to be braver with the choice of your attire & act simple as well as bold. Over the last three summers, mens wear has shoved us towards mens fashion being bolder.

Street style is now at par with couture. Rappers and sneakerheads aren’t just the inspiration, they’re the brain trust. And designers are operating at unprecedented levels of energy and innovating with boldness. With designers like Ujwal Dubey, Rajender Pratap Singh, Shantanu & Nikhil , Shivan & Narresh, Kunal Rawal who have established icons to the next generation – lead the charge at the third edition of the country’s premier menswear showcase. Invest in graphic tees, polo tshirts, plain light weight shirts with short sleeves.

Hence, you can try for bold prints, attractive silhouettes & colours.

4. Embrace the ease of Online Shopping:

Online Shopping is like “the easy button” for man friendly shopping. It is like the non-boring way of shopping. For those busy men or the confused ones, Online Shopping is the best way to get your summer essentials home. And the best part is you can quickly get comfortable with the logistics of ordering & returning items. But one disadvantage is that you can’t try before you buy. My advice would be firstly, know your perfect size, read the fabric details and you can happily get your package home.

Best online stores to buy men’s Clothing: Myntra, Jabong, Abof, Ajio, NNNow, Pernia’s Pop Up Shop, Snapdeal & Koovs.

5. Top Summer Essentials:

It is important to fill your wardrobe with summer essential basics like Statement T-shirts, streetwear inspired jackets. In terms of replacing your winter wear to summer wear, here are some shopping tips like replace your wool trousers by light weight, breathable cotton like Chinos & denims. As you progress from winter boots to sneakers & slippers. Sunscreen is very important for men for a hydrating skin.

Summer Wedding Tips:

Deciding what to wear to a wedding is a task. But not to worry, I have compiled few outfit ideas & summer shopping tips for men to see your wedding style soar this summer.

• Firstly, read the invitation properly as it is a guide to know if there is any specific dress code. Also, read the venue as if it is a beach wedding then a linen shirt, trousers & loafers worn socksless are ideal.

• Colour wise there are some options- Classic black or mid night blue, grey, beige or richer hues like cobalt or petrol blue. Wear pastel colours or light colours like white, peach, mint green & lemon yellow too.

•As for Accessories, black bow tie, cummerbund, small brooch , printed pocket square & a pair of perfectly shinned black shoes look our perfectly.

• A contemporary two-piece or three- piece suit (slim-fitting,minimal break, notch lapel) will make you look classy. Printed suits are also much in trend.

• Choosing the right fabric is very Important. Breathable materials like linen, cotton & blends of two serves well for weddings in hotter climes.

• Indo- western clothing is also much in trend these days because of the high- detailed embroidery ,unique silhouettes & drapes. You can wear draped kurtas, jodhpuri suit, nehru kurtas and waistcoats can make you look smart and dashing.

My favourite Summer Look: White shirt, blue denim & White Leather Sneakers are a winner for this summer.

When it comes to summer fashion, don’t sweat it up. Keep it light weight & functional.It’s the perfect time to experiment, because many of your peers probably aren’t going to bother trying. Hit June in style.

I hope this “summer shopping tips for men” blog is worth it & helpful for all my viewers.
