Horizontal Stripes making a comeback in Fashion

Stripes have undergone a makeover this season. They now in multiple colours on the same dress or top, artfully designed with color blocks, interesting details and in bold shades. 911 Fashion shows you how to wear stripes this season.
Dress It Up: When you’ve got a gorgeous striped dress in a body hugging silhouette, go glam! Pair with eye-catching earrings, an envelope clutch and stilettos. For the day, opt for a tote and pumps for a put-together look. And remember, a toned bod is a must if you’re vying for attention at that brunch! The dress could be short, knee-length or maxi.
Keep It Casual: Neons and stripes are the hottest trends of the season, and they look best when worn casually. Wear your striped top with a monotone skirt or your favorite jeans.  Bored of jeans? Try colored pants! The colorful striped skirt-dresses of the season are an easy way to look chic instantly.
Make It Quirky: Light jackets are a great cover-up for summer, and neutral colours would look great over bright stripes. Make your striped outfit fun with cropped pants and high-top sneakers; or add a boho twist with a colorful necklace and headband!  http://911fashion.frenchconnection.in

Pairing the Boyfriend Blazer with Shorts


Pairing the Boyfriend Blazer with Shorts is a trend that is great for an outdoor event or even a day out with your girlfriends. The Boyfriend Blazer can be fitting or you can choose to wear one that is longer and baggier than your size. Just make sure the proportions are right lest you end up looking like you literally borrowed the blazer. For the shorts you can opt for jeans shorts, flayerd or official looking shorts. Even leather shorts will do, just make sure you are having fun and are not intimidated by the short shorts. If the idea of wearing really short shorts freaks you out you can add stockings or tights under the shorts. Accessories are a personal choice and will depend on the person or the event you are attending. Is this trend something you would try out?

Would you wear the Harem Pants that are still trending



Harem pants or harem trousers, also known as parachute pants, are women's baggy long pants tapered at the ankle, with side flaps on the hip that button at the waist area.
Harem pants, which originated in India, are like a cross between a skirt and a pair of skinny jeans. The legs, from the knees down, are fitted. The crotch area is loose and baggy as if it were cut to be a skirt.Traditional harem pants can be extremely large and baggy, with a very wide and full fit, very roomy, loose fitting, over-sized, puffy, spacious, with elastic in waist and at ankles, and with the crotch below the knee almost to the ground.
Harem pants are commonly worn with a pleated skirt — a short skirt that covers the top portion of the harem pants. Both harem pants and pleated skirts are commonly used in belly dancing. There are resources that show various forms of pleated skirts and explain how they are created.
They've also emerged as a "modern" version of harem pants made popular in the late 1980s by MC Hammer and thus known as hammer pants. They are intended to be made more fashionable and require less fabric.
Similar pants are also known as dimije, tshalvar, schalwar, salwar kameez, kaccha, patiala salwar, shintijan, sirwal, sharovary, Turkish trousers, aladdin pants, balloon pants, drop crotch pants, pantaloons, zouave, pluderhose and pumphose.
