As soon as you get an invite of a formal occasion, the first thing that pops in your mind is, ‘I don’t know what to wear!’ From weddings to dinner parties, it is a sartorial minefield out there. What colour to choose, what kind of cut to go for, are some of the questions that keeps lingering till you don’t choose your pick.

Let’s face it, fashionistas are always on a lookout for something unique and opt for trendy styles, be it cuts or embellishments. And trust us, nothing beats an attire with a classy cut. Want to know what’s hot this party season? Here are a few sleek cuts & silhouettes that you can flaunt...

Asymmetrical statement:

Cuts are of utmost importance. Choosing the right cut and silhouette can do wonders. To add a contemporary edge to your outfit, consider decking yourself up in asymmetrical items of clothing, as they are an increasingly popular design option. If you are looking for an on-trend party piece then asymmetrical cut is the way to go. They are the perfect addition for your wardrobe this party season.

It’s high, it’s low:

High-low cut, also known as waterfall, or mullet cut, have a hem that is higher in the front than in the back. The high-low shirt has a full circle hem. The style originates in Victorian era dresses and formal gowns, when the hem style became known as the ‘fishtail’. If you are not willing to go for a circle hemline, you can also go for a straight cut shirt that has a short front and long back with side slits. 

Button it down:

Fashion’s current penchant for shirting brings the classic shirt dress back to the forefront. A shirt dress, also known as a button down shirt, gives a sleek and chic look; whilst its clean lines provide an ideal canvas for this season’s bold and vibrant colour palette. However, make sure that if you are short heighted then a full length shirt dress will not look flattering on you.

Trendy tunics:

Tunics are versatile, making them a fabulous option. These days, ponchos and one shoulder tunics are quite in vogue. The best thing about a stylish tunic is that it is easy to wear & pair. Keep in mind that the fit is meant to be loose, not snug, and the fabric should not be too heavy. A tunic should billow and flow, not cling to the body. They go well paired with straight trousers or a boot-cut pant.

Go straight:

Straight cuts are the classiest of them all. You can opt for a short, long or knee length shirt and you are good to go. A shirt with a straight silhouette looks quite flattering whether you are skinny or on the chubby side.

Layer up:

We have been witnessing it on fashion runways for quite some time now. Yes, capes and coats are chic pieces that can do wonders for the simplest of wardrobes, transforming a casual look into an altogether high-fashion outfit in seconds. Either you go for a cape or a coat; it is perfect to add that extra finish to your look. From silk to organza coats and from snake cut embroidered coats to chiffon embroidered asymmetric capes; they have certainly become one of the coolest cover ups for all fashionistas.

Pants on fire:

This season is all about wearing what you feel comfortable in. Nowadays, all the designers are experimenting with straight trousers, cropped cigarette pants, bell bottoms and not to forget the oh-so popular gharara pants. Yes, now you have plenty of options to choose from when it comes to lowers!
