Fashion is freedom – Freedom to pick out how we exist within the world, freedom to blur the strains, freedom to position on anything freely.
Patriotism is a way of life and comes naturally to all Indians and over the years, showcasing it has gained prominence — especially on days of national importance like Republic Day. Celebrating the day and cherishing it in every way one can, is quite common.
This year, go to town sporting Indian traditional wear and let the world know what patriotism means to you in a stylish way. Here are a few ideas…
There Is Nothing Like ‘For a Body Type’
A lot of individuals inquire what to wear with a specific somatotype or for an event or pairings. I even have no clear answers for such style dilemmas we are living in an era where none of the old rules exists or applies. Fashion isn’t just about giving us a trend that we cope with, it is a means of self-expression. It’s an identity. We live at a time when trends are co-existing – you simply pick and choose what you’d wish to wear. You’ll wear clashing prints, or sneakers with a correct dress, pair a shirt with a lehenga.
The big freedom today is to wear whatever you’d like but carry it with confidence and conviction rolled up in your sleeves.
Fashion Is More Democratic Now
With such tons of content to consume every second, fashion is within everyone’s reach. Breaking the stereotypical view of how men and ladies should “ideally” dress, we’ve now become hospitable experiments. The most important anti-fashion rule that has become the highlight is anti-fit clothing – a kind for all body types and shapes. Another major shift is fast fashion VS slow fashion. We now understand the critique of “fast fashion” – pile it high, sell it cheap and hang the results. More understanding and knowledge of what’s right, not just for us, but also our surroundings, is what we all need at this moment.
Show off your patriotism with elan:
Go for tricolour accessories
There are stylish tote bags in tricolour available online or even at your local store. If you don’t want to go all out by wearing saffron, white and green combo, you can at least choose accessories like tricolour bags and caps.
Re-decorate your home
- Make the national flag colours the stars at home by using them in innovative ways to do up your home. Tricolour cushion covers, table runners will show off your patriotic spirit. Place three coffee mugs in these three colours in a row and viola, you have a pretty centrepiece.
