With the New Year's eve party here, there is a lot that people are investing into, from snazzy outfits to matching accessories. Bengaluru, being a street shopper's paradise, has a lot to offer with options varying from glitzy ensembles to add-ons, that help create the perfect look.
Gowns in black, green and red are selling like hotcakes, says Asadulla Khan, proprietor of 'Wild Cat Ladies Garments' store. "Everyone wants a unique look, thus there are varied versions of the same gown with detailing, as well as many English colours (pastel shades) that are selling. Sequinned tops meet the demands of young girls, who would like to team it with a pair of denims or a skirt," he says.
He adds that jackets in colours like blue, tan and maroon are also trending this season and are being picked up to go with different looks.
Youngsters and the young at heart are also opting for affordable yet quirky jumpsuits apart from dresses in varied lengths for New Year's eve. "We have interesting jumpsuits in floral and other patterns that make a style statement on their own and are very comfortable. Lace dresses in pink and similar colours are also in demand," details Mahaveer Jain, owner of 'Naughtee'.
Long dresses in varied colours will always continue to be a top choice, says Tenzin Choedon, proprietor of 'Tre's Belle Boutique'. "They make for a flattering fit because of their length and add height to a person. They also work well for a nice formal look, which needn't be worked upon much, if the dress by itself has an elaborate neckline or golden or metallic lacework on it," she adds.
Shrugs, be it the plain ones or with some sheen, also work wonders, says Sanjana Nagesh, an architecture student. "One can get interesting shrugs for Rs 200 or a little more, which is not much and it's useful through the year. It is easy to just team one with an ensemble that one already has and create a new look," she adds.
"Just sport a rose tiara or a metallic one or even use a neckpiece to look dressy by wearing it as a headpiece," says Jisha K, a young professional. "These cute button rose tiaras are easily available on Brigade Road and Commercial Street, in colours like pink, red, blue and even multi-coloured ones. These are very cute and add a classy touch to a simple attire. My best friend and I will be wearing them, when we go party-hopping on New Year's eve. Glow bands and fluorescent loops that are available on the streets for Rs 100 also add a tinge of craziness to a party attire," she says.
Selling chunky and elaborately styled tribal necklaces on MG Road, Vijay says that items with multi-coloured stones are selling fast now. "Whichever attire you decide to wear, the neckpiece will go with it eventually. Also, the dull gold neckpieces, which fall longer, uptil the waist add a chic touch to the attire," he adds. Be it long strings to heavy neckpieces, jewellery varies according to one's ensemble, he adds.
In footwear, ballerinas top the list for any occasion, says Hussain, a vendor on MG Road. "Ballerinas in tan or even black are popular now. Flats and shoes with stonework are other favourites for a party. Flashy and bright metallic-shaded flats are also in demand — sandals in gold, silver and copper colours are being picked up, which jazz up the simplest look," he says.
