PUKAAR MAGAZINE’S FASHION WRITER SARITA RAI REVEILS TOP LOOKS FOR 2014 WHICH ARE SURE TO MAKE HEADS TURN YOUR WAY.

Women

This New Year sees looks inspired by floral prints and rebel influences on the catwalk. Stand out from the crowd as the year 2014 invites a daring to be different approach.

Bright colours combined with the nature of British weather are at the peak of style this year, including a range of cotton and woolly jumpers that highlight retro fashion. Also drench yourself with Victorian embroidery influenced patterns and pastoral prints of the season. Step into chic this New Year as the ankle boot makes an appearance in a palette of colours creating an innovative style.

With an array of evening styles why not try the playsuit. It not only serves to flatter the silhouette but wears a daytime look that lasts through the night. This season’s playsuits pay great attention to shape, the billowy sleeves possess a medieval influence that strongly embodies the rebel to create an edgy, sharp and tasteful look and sustains the understated elegance from last season. Lay eyes on a palette of dark and subtle shades that opens up a luxurious variety of bold colours, so embrace your dark side and make a strong style statement this 2014.

Polish your evening off and remain at the height of this season’s latest trend with the ravishing opulence entwined with this seasons’ accessories. Revive last season’s glamour with heels and a sparkly bangle with new designs that possess a heavy baroque influence with encrusted jewels to complete your party outfit.

 

Men

The start of the New Year presents revitalising colours in outfits that are at the heart of this season’s fashion.

Casual wear takes on a 1950’s style that can be teamed up with pieces of sportswear to reinvent a contemporary look whilst staying warm this New Year. One important garment of the New Year is the gilet which takes the lead as one of the must haves this season. The gilet comes in vibrant colours which offer a smart modernising finish to your daytime look. The year 2014 witnesses the rise of the denim jacket, a classic staple channeling a 1950’s rebellious youth adds an energetic touch. Instead of the gilet wear with a bright sports jacket and create a casual yet sophisticated look. Pair up with muddy coloured trousers to mark a stylish statement. This New Year’s footwear splashes a chromatic trend with block coloured heels and laces at the forefront. Shoes teamed with dashes of suede refine the 1950’s style and creates a flawless look for your 2014 wardrobe.

Explore exuberant British pieces from the runway and demonstrate stylistic freedom to make an impression throughout 2014. Check influenced patterns incorporated with bright colours rework classic styles that make them relevant today. Top high street retailers give way to red and blue flannel shirts and convey essential blocks of colour. Team up with a pair of coloured skinny jeans for a modernised twist which exudes the American geek chic look clinched from last season. Colour blocking shirts give an insight into the refreshing looks of British tailoring highlighting casual and formal styles. Don’t forget to complete your outfit with a variety of sleek accessories like a brown leather belt.
