Ever since the Indian traveller decided to give granny's home a miss for a summer bash with friends, stepping out in style for a vacation seems to have become the norm. So bring out your stylish jackets, scarves and light sweaters to jazz up your date with cooler climes. Add oomph to your beach break by stocking up on resort wear or enjoy a chic and sexy cruise with the right accessories. Take clues from these looks; head out to the local flea market to bag the right travel wear. And don't forget to pack right and travel light!
Cool clues
Escaping to cooler climes is one of the best ways to beat the heat. Leading designers too seem to have taken a note of your flair for a hilly fare seriously and have showcased ample stylish pieces suitable for cooler places in their summer and resort collections. And the major style suggestion seems to be that one stylish jacket in a silk and wool blend can do to a vacation what 20 poor knits cannot. But mind you, jackets don't come just in black or brown. Designer duo Shantanu & Nikhil's look for women are fitted jackets with a hint of detailing around the waist in a bright colour. Designer Malini Agarwalla sent women in bright fitted full sleeves tees with smart stoles and scarves down the ramp to give you an idea on how to lighten up your break and fashion brand Energie's look seems to suggest that for men, nothing beats the charm of a fitted leather jacket and a funky scarf.
Chic coast
If a siesta only means seaside to you then you better stock up on vibrant resort wear. But setting off for the shores doesn't mean packing in trunks and two bits. Designer Arpan Vohra's look for the beach bums lets the ladies stroll in style at the local beach market in fitted sleeveless jackets matching your swimwear with beaded neckpieces and comfy footwear. Rocky S wants all the chicas to carry a big bright bag to carry most of your knick knacks. Team it with a bright flowy short dress, as you lounge by the poolside during the day and attend a beach party at night, without having to fret about. So that men too also look like better halves. Designer Rajvi Mohan's look is fitted kurtas and shirts in light shades and shorts or bermudas just below the knee — paired with flip flops and a trendy jhola.
Accessory alert
Now there are some accessories that are not to just make us look like tourists but also come in very handy. Designer Pallavi Mohan's summer/resort look suggests any vacation to a tropical destination is incomplete without a maxi dress and a matching umbrella. Sunglasses, broad bangles, quirky neck pieces and a short dress with funky prints are the safest bets to stuff your travel bags with are designer Babita Malkani's trendy tips, while capris, flip flops, floral headbands and sleeveless dresses with frills are designer Miriam Strehlau's suggestions to get you in the true travel spirit right away.
