V’DAY EQUALS TO WE DAY
Wear what you like rather than going for what the day itself suggests. That is the new mantra for the new generation.
As the Valentine ’ s Day advances, people not only in Delhi or our nation but all across the globe crave for standing out from the crowd to impress the already impressed one. But the red dresses and theme based fashion is going obsolete as people are more into format and smart outfits now a days.
The fashion trend for valentines changed over all these years and that is something which is quite obvious considering how the present generation is more into career than anything else. Talking about fashion and dressing sense, Harshita Gupta, the founder of Hail Womena high fashion professional wear brand says, “Fashion is a never- ending cycle of change. Over the years, the fashion trend for Valentine’s Day has seen a lot of changes. While earlier VDay outfit was more synonymous to a red or pink colour dress But now, the changing time calls for ditching the traditional red or pink and embracing something like a oneshouldered dress, satiny body corn dress, or a jumpsuit to show the skin in a sophisticated way with the bonus points for wearing colours, like mustard yellow, powder blue, olive green or the coral hue ( pantone colour of the year) will make you look bolder and will surely get you compliments from your guy for your chic sense of style.”
Previously it was quite a common notion that all about valentines should be reddish or other shades of the same colour. But now it is not a must for all to go for the same colours. Girls go for classy look rather than going for colour based outfits. The young entrepreneur agrees and opines, “Every person is different and has a unique style and colour choice. Some are Bollywood lovers and still do red while some like nude with pinch of red touch. Or some just go black to not take chances of feeling fat at all. While some are just experimental and love to go with fashion colour and trend.”
Is fashion always about girls? It’s absurd to think that, Right? So talking about fashion and men the fashion expert voices, “Boys have their own mindset and go with a particular dressing style. Some love to dress in denim or trousers. Unfortunately, they have just two sections for a daily go or occasional like valentines.” On the other hand, climate has always played a huge role in setting fashion trends. All Miss Gupta has to say about this is, “It has always been, considering this year's winter is still on nerves and dressing in those midi and skirt is getting bit shivery.”
Many suggest that casual makes one look smart and are comfortable at the same time. Some even like to wear casual to work. But there has been a trend of weari n g tuxedoes with red roses for boys. One may wonder if that trend is dead already. Harshita begs to differ, “Honestly, it has never started properly. Considering the fact that only a few of them are wearing or following the dress code no wonder they are opting semi formals/ casuals, and as very few options are the comparative ly, they don't want to share the same designs or that color which another co- worker is wearing. I believe work wear require a more option and style to make it happen. And make the crowd understand the power of work wear.”
Valentine's Day is recognized as a significant cultural and commercial celebration of love and romance in many regions around the world. Sending roses on Valentine’s Day is a classic idea and will always win you points, but make sure that the colour of the roses matches your true feelings. Roses can be red, pink, white, yellow, orange or coral. Different colours have different identity and convey different meanings, so likewise dresses can also be of different colours other than red in this new era. So, go ahead and wear what makes you feel special and make this ‘ We Day’ a memorable one.
Fashion is a never- ending cycle of change. Over the years, the fashion trends for Valentine’s Day have seen changes.
