INDIAN FASHION TRENDS FOR THE SEASON
Men’s wear in India takes on a different profile for the sunny months as revealed by designers during the FDCI x Lakmé Fashion Week digital edition in March 2021.
COlOUR CODED
Black and white makes a strong comeback with splashes of neon green. Bringing in a casual flavour are sunny yellow, beige, striking green, pastel blue and a mélange of colours. When it comes to formal wear, navy blue tops the chart accompanied by mid grey, and steel grey makes a mark on trench coats. Hot hues like fiery red and orange add a touch of fun, but it is the shades of sturdy browns that give add a dash of elegance. Ivory comes onto the colour charts as an interesting neutral option. While pale blue brings along a hint of pastel magic, strong lilac gives an unconventional direction to men’s wear.
