You can pair it with flats, heels, mules and even sneakers!

1. WFH fashion needs

Being in leggings, pyjamas may ease your hectic work from home schedule, but if you want to move beyond casual outfits, opt for a crop tee, tie dye crewneck top paired with a wide leg lounge pant or cinched skirt.

Integrate fitness into your daily routine with comfy sweatpants, joggers, oversized shirts, yoga pants, tank tops etc. Athleisure (athletic leisure) fashion items help you focus on exercise regimes, rather than thinking about functionality and comfort. 9.Accessories can make or break it. Colourful dupattas, oxidised jewellery, staples like earrings and necklaces are must-haves, but you also need to think about safety first. So the current trending accessory is the face mask. Made with designer bows, chains and stones, masks are now chosen to match the ensemble. If you are dressing up for virtual casual or professional settings, look for layered chains, floral, jewellery, asymmetrical earrings, dainty pearls, detachable pieces and chained hydration essentials that are widely popular.

1. Choose the right footwear

Hybrid sneakers, flatforms, embellished clogs give a glam, chic look and keep feet comfortable. You can also wear functional slip-on loafers, cosy slides or flip-flops, classic jutti, modern kolhapuri sandals that are adorned with embroidery and metallic additions. Checkout trendy footwear including printed multi-coloured, cross belly designer shoes (apt for rainy days). Styles like designer flat belly shoes, spilled apart women shoes, dual coloured or shoes in bright shades, ethnic mojaris are also popular. And there you have it. Following any fashion trend doesn’t necessarily mean you’d have to empty out your wallets. But you do have to buy anything you can always employ the coupons and promotional codes retailer offers. You would always find something that’d help you slash down some more price from your cart. Thus, making shopping even more enjoyable. Culled from NY Fashion Times
