For Her
Floral print dresses: They never go out of vogue and can be styled in a myriad ways. Pair a bright coloured floral dress with a sleek belt to add shape to the outfit or go bold with a chunky jacket. Finish with a pair of strappy sandals and a bold red lipstick.
Square-neck tops: Unique necklines have been all the rage since the rise of the Zoom culture. Square-neck tops, in particular, look feminine and give you a chance to show off those structured collar bones. Pair these with a pair of high-rise jeans and a classic pair of sunglasses for a day-to-night look.
Pastel sweaters: Liven up your wardrobe with sweaters in pastels like blush pink or baby blue for a cheerful look. You can also go monotone by choosing accessories like a baguette bag and sandals in the same colour.
Yoga pants: Yoga pants have managed to slide their way back into our hearts. Workout in style with pants that are comfortable and match your aesthetic. Opt for solid colours or have fun with printed bold neon and animal prints to jazz up your ensemble.

Midi kurtas: Sophisticated and feminine, midi kurtas make for the perfect desi ensemble. Have fun with different patterns and colour options. You can also opt for a collared neckline to add a touch of elegance. Finish the look with jhumkas and some colorful bangles.
Terracotta-coloured culottes: Terracotta has made a comeback by taking Instagram and Pinterest by storm. Pair them with knee-high leather boots in the colder months or go for classic sneakers in summer.
Colourful bandanas: Bandanas are unquestionably cool and will add some pop to your outfit. You can go for bright colours to lift the gloom and pair it with a casual tee or even a sundress. This versatile accessory can be used as a necktie, a scarf or even as a makeshift top if you are feeling adventurous.
Digital watches: A digital wristwatch with a smart yet definitive dial goes well with everything. Find one that complements your personal taste. With intelligent and unique features like heart rate monitor, alarms and timers, a digital watch is a must-have in 2021.
Hoop earrings: Hoops in all sizes are on the trend watch more than ever now! Whether you are looking for occasion-worthy earrings or an everyday style, these minimalistic earrings will add just the right amount of vogue to your overall look.
For HiM
Printed polo t-shirts: There’s nothing quite like the quintessential polo t-shirt. It’s classic, yet simple and suits every occasion. You can also spice up your basic polo t-shirts by adding micro prints like micro-checks, fine stripes and geometric patterns or foliage and paisley prints for casual and evening wear.
Classic denims: Possibly the most versatile bottom wear, denim jeans are a smart and non-fussy piece of clothing. Remember, the most important rule while shopping for denims is that it must fit you well. The versatile garment can be paired with both formal and casual apparel.
Printed hoodies: A hoodie might not be the most fashion forward item in your wardrobe, but a printed one will completely change the game! For a contemporary urban outfit, consider pairing a hoodie with a solid coloured bomber jacket or pair it with a long coat for a semi formal look.
Monotone joggers: They have become the most preferred option for streetwear as it remains stylish and provides optimum comfort, be it indoors or outdoors. Style your pair of bottoms effortlessly with a graphic t-shirt and black Vans to go for that carefree look.
Grey pastel trousers: Be it a casual outing with friends or a conference at your workplace, a pair of grey pastel trousers can always work! Wear them with a teal coloured blazer and a printed t-shirt to complete that casual yet classy look.
Geometric print shorts: Slip into a pair of comfortable geometric print shorts this year to embrace the work-from-home culture. Pair it with your favourite casual t-shirts and espadrilles. To complete the look, pair with a brown or black hat.
Colorful sneakers: Sneakers have now become a staple in everybody’s wardrobes. However, the shade-card has drastically changed from monotone and become less rigid. This year has seen a wide array of styles in shoes, especially in its colour mix, and the trend will continue in 2021 as well.
Earthy fragrances: An earthy fragrance adds a great sense of depth and warmth with natural elements coming to life through the senses. Dab a woody or a pine-scented perfume. Remember to choose one that is not too overwhelming.
