No two ways about choosing the jumpsuit this season...

single MINDED

Step aside separates. Jumpsuits are here to simplify your wardrobe dilemmas. These one-piece wonders are a pleasant respite on days when you want to wear neither a dress nor trousers. Whoever would have thought that what started off as work wear would evolve into fashion’s most versatile piece of clothing. You can choose from a distressed denim look for the day or an opulent draped silhouette for the night. The beauty of the jumpsuit is that it requires minimal accessorising – add a clutch and a pair of heels and you are good to go!

FRINGE frenzy

Shredded is the way to go...
Revive the ’70s spirit by adding these gravity-defying tassels to your hemline. Fringe-trimmed ensembles were seen on the ramps and soon made their presence felt in street style and the more obvious quirky outfits of the Coachella goers. You can also take a cue and relive the Jazz-age with shimmery tassels reminiscent of the showgirl glamour of the ‘20s. Remember the seductively swaying Catherine Zeta Jones in Chicago? Go soft with feather-like frills on the shoulder or build up a sheer look with these elements dangling gently all over for feminine appeal.
