Polka Dots (photo courtesy | Fashiongonerogue.com)You’re seeing spots! Summer’s
quirkiest trend is undoubtedly the polka. It refers to a scattered circular
shape pattern, and shares it name with the European dance genre. Back in the
mid-19th century the polka dance was so popular that apparel makers started

socks, polka curtains). All of the ‘polka’ products eventually fizzled out,
except for the polka dot which had becom

It’s one of the best fashion accessories to beat the heat and protect your hair
from the scorching sun. Originally a men’s hat, the style became popular during
the 1940s. Believe it or not, the name originated from the play Fédora, whose
central character wore a hat much like the Fedora!

Anonymous. It’s true. I own some 10 odd pairs of them. But the evergreen classic
for me will always be the Wayfarer. The wayfarer refers to the style created by
optical lens big-wig Ray-Ban and rivals the Aviator as the most iconic design of
all time.It first became popular in the ’50s and ’60s and features a unique
 trapezoidal shape. Believe it or not, it was the first sunglasses to be made

Breton Stripes (photo courtesy | Wikifashion.com)Today’s word of the day is
Breton Stripes.
The nautical trend is something that keeps coming back. And why not? The
navy-white combination and the classic tailoring just makes you feel instantly
chic. My favourite is undoubtedly the Breton striped t-shirt, which is
characterized by thick or thin horizontal navy or black stripes.
Interesting bit of trivia: The original Breton stripes normally add up to 21,
signifying Napoleon’s victories!

Disclaimer: This trend is not for the faint-hearted or more importantly someone
who doesn’t have toned abs! The word is literally derived from “cropped tops”
where blouses or t-shirts are short enough to expose the mid-riff.

*How stunning does  Indian-origin model Liza Golden look in that shoot? It’s no
wonder she’s shot for the Kingfisher calendar and Lakme ad-campaign.
