An Affair With Off-Whites & Nudes

Having been caught up in a frenzy between work, personal commitments and Easter, I have been in & out of my home crazy. The sweltering Mumbai heat did not make it any easy. Each time I stepped out, I wished I had more whites & nude colours in my wardrobe. Just laying eyes on these colours is so cooling!

 

 

Easter Sunday, a day when I had to really dress up and step out was the worst! I think somewhere in my head, I have already started planning and designing an ensemble in a nude shade for next Easter, or any occassion that comes in between during this summer season.

 

Okay having cribbed enough about the weather, here is my take on the nude palette ensemble.

 

As seen above, a nude colored top with a statement neckpiece. Could be paired with jeans or even linen pants. Cool, chic & comfortable.
 

If you can't figure out the jewellery, always have a tan bag in your wardrobe. They complement the whites, off-whites, soft colors well and give that stylish edge on a very sunny day.

 

Off-White flats - it's an affair your feet can never get out of.

 

Nude pumps are a must have this summer





White Linen pants. If you don't own a pair, you just don't know what you are missing. Those who do have these, cannot dispute the comfort levels of these genius trousers on that summer afternoon. When worn right, they can pass off at a cocktail evening, a casual coffee, at work, a business meeting....the opportunities and places to wear these are limitless.

The Perfect look - pastels with nudes

 

An off-white Fedora...grab all the attention

 

If you do wanna pair up with a warm colour. Do it right as seen in the picture above.

 

These days if I have to step out, I have stopped looking at the warm colours in my wardrobe and am forever working out combinations around the nudes, pastels and off-whites. One doesn't need to have a number of apparels to get a different look each time. All you got to do is mix, remix, dig-out your accessories and you will get a new look each day. Try it this summer. You sure will go the cool way, I promise :).

Calvin Klein - One of the most recognized fashion brands in the world

Klein started his company in 1968, a coat shop with a childhood friend. Legend has it that a buyer from the now-defunct high-end department store Bonwit Teller accidentally stumbled into Klein's workroom in 1969, after getting off on the wrong floor. Within a week, Klein had his first $50,000 order. And there has been no turning back eversince.

 

Personally I love CK. I have never walked into a CK store and come out empty-handed. Never. The label just traps you with their stylish wears, great fit, superb quality - making it a perfect value-for-money brand to invest in. It is a must -mention that their denims fit like a dream.

 

Apart from jeans, the brand has expanded into, inner-wear, sportswear, semi-formals, fragrace, bags, eyewear, footwear and watches. Yes, these are a number of things waiting to receive you if you walk into a CK store.

Their sportswear collection is great and I loved their bags too. I invested in their footwear & bags and they are going strong as ever. Their footwear has the most comfort-fit.

If you find their costs high, step into their stores during the sales. With some luck and good searching abilities, you might just be able to grab your choicest of denims or accessories. Better still, go to the online shopping sites and try your hand at purchasing the label there at good discounted prices. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.

 

I have always found their ad campaigns very captivating. While we are surrounded by spring and spring colours, whilst all labels are promoting their spring collection through the choicest of colours, CK brings out their "Spring 2014 Calvin Klein Jeans" campaign in Black & White, shot in the ever colorful New York.

Another very captivating photo of a private dinner in Basel, Switzerland, hosted by Calvin Klein Watches & Baselworld 2014 Jewellery fair.









P.S. - Looking for a pair of white denims this summer? CK is one of those few labels that knows how to get the shade and colour of their white denims right, each time.

Denim can go with just about anything. So don't be skeptical to experiment and just think out-of-the-box.

Pepe Jeans Belted Jumpsuit

Dress this jeans belted jumpsuit up or down with white accessories and light colored clutches for day. At night, choose a shoe with a color that will pop.

 

 

When in bright colored jumpsuits, you should probably go for basic tones with accessories. For day, tan or brown shoes with metallic jewellery works best. At night, try nude heels and an exotic clutch to complete the look.

The verdict:: Jumpsuits are every girl's answer to the perfect spring outfit.
