WHEN ACCESSORIES OUTDID MAINSTREAM FASHION

Evolution of fashion carries a glorious story along with it. Be it a kid, adolescent, adult or senior citizens, fashion has managed to stay connected to everyone quite efficiently & has survived the test of time. A world bereft of fashion is tough to imagine. Million dollar question that arises here is that, do we really acknowledge its crucial presence in our lives? 
Every time we step out of our door, the challenge to look fabulous always looms large in front of us. As a result, the designer in us calls for introspection & breed the thoughts which help us groom ourselves in the best possible way we want to behold ourselves in. It’s time that the importance of fashion accessory comes into the picture which elevates our style quotient.
Putting extra baggage has  proven trendy for people who believe in making a bigger statement. Ornaments, jewelry, clothing accessories like Scarf, Kaftan, Chunni and tattoos make for some prominent fashion accessories. For a country like India jewellery has always been the mother of all fashion accessories that ever existed for women. The getup for a party would be incomplete if you forgot a necklace, pendant or a bracelet. If at all there has been slightest of a dip in the popularity of the precious metals over the years, it is just because of peoples’ growing penchant for artificial stuff, but jewellery is here to stay.
Even men these days too are fond of bejewelling themselves with those funky earrings & piercings. Though I strongly despise it but just like everyone I too have my own perception! Over the years, the affinity for fashion accessories has diversified and has bettered the conventional wear in many aspects. With the bulk of its fans being teenagers & those in their 30s, fashion accessories intends to create a huge base for itself in time to come.
The prominent fabrics like Kurtis, Tops, Suits, Skirts & Gowns not only accords elegance to the wearer but also makes them a distinguished figure among the folks. A Bandana, Chunni or a Sling Bag hanging to the either side of the shoulder makes for a beautiful spectacle for the onlooker. Even undergarments don't lag too far when it comes to making statements. No wonder why flaunting the classy embroidery adorning the outlines of lingerie comes under the wide thesaurus of fashion today. A thin linen or floral pattern ushers the gorgeous look to the wearer which covers up for the slightest of mismatches. We have full-length dresses and gowns too which make for the perfect blend of appeal with decency and they make for the must haves of a lady’s closet. 
If I were to brag about men’s fashion accessories I would start with Tattoos, Kaftans, Scarfs and Footwears. Men too are ultra-conscious when it comes to adding those bunny points to their persona, which can be a cowboy hat, sling bag, waistcoat or chequered socks. Oversized shirts & trousers are the things of yesteryears, which used to be a style statement way back in the 80s & 90s. Today men use bow ties, cufflinks & leather goods as vital fashion accessories. A casual pair of denim along with T-Shirt seeks sneakers to complete the getup for a casual outing. Waistcoats have been trending in the parties & social gatherings these days. From belts to sneakers, from unbuttoned hoodies to neatly tucked-in formals, every attire is incomplete without a complementary accessory.

Be it a man or a woman, one must realise that in a healthy body resides a healthy soul which is the best judge. So just act sensibly & avoid becoming a fashion faux pass.
