In her first week at film school in London, Mansi Maheshwari heard a sentence that lit up her mental console. “We were doing a collaging exercise and there were many magazines open in front of us to choose pictures from. Our instructor, the Finnish animator Marjut Rimminen, said to me, ‘Choose the things that wink at you.’” Three years and a victory lap around the global film festival circuit later, the award-winning Indian director and animator—who has also produced knitwear capsules, flash tattoo sheets, stop-motion shorts, claymation figurines, murals and paintings—explains how those seven words changed her life. “I’ve applied what Marjut said to my whole life: what I wear, what I choose to do,” she says, tugging at the collar of her flame-red shirt with fire-breathing dragons printed on it that she found at a thrift shop in London on her 25th birthday. “If it catches my eye, it’s for me. If I have to think about it, it’s not.”

How many lifetimes until you finally accept that your heart desires what it desires, Aries? This message has been looping for you—so pay attention. Asking the cosmos for freedom, a breakthrough or a way out may be your mantra, but in our physical world, karma or actions are what lead us to where we need to go next. You’re craving newness in life. Parts of you are ready to let go of the lies you once clung onto for safety. Cancer, your time to rebuild or rebirth your support system is here. The cosmos reminds you that more energy will be needed to move to the next level in your life. So accept all the help and resources that come forward to you now. Gemini, you’re steadily building whatever you started, but ask yourself if you’re continuing out of passion, or purely out of habit? Your answer doesn’t lie in the work you put in, but in the approach you take.

How many lifetimes until you finally accept that your heart desires what it desires, Aries? This message has been looping for you—so pay attention. Asking the cosmos for freedom, a breakthrough or a way out may be your mantra, but in our physical world, karma or actions are what lead us to where we need to go next. So unless you listen to that spark of inspiration and actually work on it, nothing will really change in your life. Do something about it.

Cosmic tip: Take on a practical approach, but also remember that you are capable of handling the decisions and chances you’re being called to take. Trust yourself and the cosmos has your back.

You’re wishing the world was different and hoping for things to suddenly turn around. But Taurus, that curious, childlike part of you that was once believed anything was possible—is resurfacing. What’s the worst that could possibly happen? You may fall but you may also rewrite your personal history. Your guides remind you that if it isn’t happy, it isn’t the end.

Cosmic tip: When you look forward to something in life, it begins to look forward to you too.

Your hard work, disciplined leadership and practical approach to life has brought you this far, Gemini. And yes, the cosmos sees that you’re not going to stop. You’re steadily building whatever you started, but ask yourself if you’re continuing out of passion, or purely out of habit? Your answer doesn’t lie in the work you put in, but in the approach you take.

It might be time to bid farewell to your forehead, because the humble fringe has never been more popular. Stats from Google suggest that we’re not just scouting out new bob hairstyles to try, but different kinds of bangs too. Some of our most searched favourites include Birkin bangs (inspired by the late Jane Birkin) and those belonging to a certain Sabrina Carpenter.

But do you dare? Getting it may appeal in theory, but how to choose a fringe can be another story. Will it look good? Will I be able to style it myself at home? Will bangs suit my face? Since they take a while to grow out, it’s a good idea to heed our two hair experts’ advice and do your research before taking the plunge. The truth is that there is a set of bangs to suit everyone. All you need is some inspo and the help of a good stylist.

What to consider before getting a fringe

The first thing you should consider is what kind of fringes you like: seek out images on Pinterest, in magazines or on social media. “Then, it’s all about finding a hairstylist and talking to them about getting a fringe,” suggests Larry King. “It’s really all about having your fringe personalised to your face shape. The majority of fringes can work on everyone, as long as the hairdresser tailors them to your features.”

Paul Percival, founder of Percy & Reed, adds that it’s key to consider how your hair texture and hairline will work with a fringe, as well as how much time and effort you’re willing to put into styling one. “There are so many people that love the idea of a blunt-cut fringe but have, as an example, wavy hair,” he says. “This is fine if you’re happy to spend five minutes blowing your fringe out when needed, but if you’re a wash-and-go kind of girl, it might drive you crazy. Basically, if you’re happy to maintain a fringe, then pretty much anyone can make it work.”

How to find the perfect fringe for your face shape

As a general and very basic rule of thumb, Percival advises choosing a style that gives your face a more oval look. Make sure you have a consultation with your hairstylist and be clear about what you do and perhaps more importantly, don’t want. Alternatively, try a clip-in fringe to experiment with the style before committing fully.

Meanwhile, if you’re on the hunt for inspo on how to choose a fringe relevant to your specific face shape, then look no further:

“For heart-shaped faces, I suggest asking for a fringe that is more of a half-moon shape,” says Percival. “By this, I mean you want the fringe to be shorter in the middle and longer towards the sides.”

Round face

Rounder faces require some length to help balance and elongate the face. “You might want to try a grown-out bang, something that’s a bit more flexible that you can lift up and switch from side to side, or maybe go for a sweeping fringe,” King says.

Long face

“It’s all about long, grown-out-looking fringes,” says Percival. “That can be a curtain fringe or bangs styled to the side, but essentially it’s all about keeping the length that little bit longer.”

Square-shaped face

Square-shaped faces should try curtain bangs or more choppy, ’70s-style fringes: “Both work really well for this face shape. Anything that blends into soft layers around the face will work well,” says Percival.

Oval face

The world of fringes is your oyster! Whether micro, blunt or grown-out fringe, those with oval face shapes can afford to be super experimental with their cut.

A style that is flattering on most people, regardless of face shape or hair texture? “A slightly grown out curtain fringe,” confirms Percival. “They tend to be low-maintenance and easy to adapt to each individual when being cut in.”

Leggings are back. Or at least they are according to the autumn/winter 2025 collections. If you don’t believe me, look at the runway shows from the likes of Versace, Acne Studios and Max Mara. And let’s not forget the leggings that are currently a firm athleisure fixture among the celebs, from Dakota Johnson on her gym mornings in LA to Kim Kardashian leaving the home in her leggings and *checks notes* matching stilettos and, of course, Hailey Bieber’s, every off-duty look.

But I sense something else in the air. Something beyond the clean girl vibe of the leggings we’ve been seeing so much of. Take a look at the American Apparel-style maroon leggings on the Dries Van Noten spring/summer 2026 runway, or the big, baggy T-shirts and leggings for Conner Ives’s spring/summer 2026 collection. Cast your eye across all the bright, garish patterned leggings at Fashion East, Off-White and Balmain for spring/summer 2026. Noughties leggings–the indie sleaze-adjacent kind–are fast approaching us as a trend. Even Lady Gaga–who wore black leggings and platforms like it’s 2009–knows what’s up.

In the 2000s, leggings were sort of a casual alternative to jeans. People wore leopard print leggings and slouchy vintage T-shirts, or black leggings and a hoodie and Ugg boots. They weren’t worn with pulled-up Alo sports socks or three-quarter length with kitten heels. They were much more dirtbag than that. Think: Lindsay Lohan creeping away from the paparazzi in leggings and bug-eye shades in 2008. I’m pretty sure I spent the large majority of 2007 until 2011 in leggings – again, not the clean girl kind, the sort that you crumple up and shove in your handbag with a Blackberry on your way to the club.

Essentially, I wouldn’t be surprised if we started seeing more of the above type of leggings as 2026 hits, as opposed to the type of leggings favoured by Lululemon girls. All the clues are there. We’re already seeing the return of “Fight For This Love”-style military jackets and biker boots, and these sorts of leggings are of the same era and vibe.

I spent most of my twenties dating men who taught me more about myself than about astrology. Somewhere along the way, I realised I’d unintentionally started dating every zodiac sign. Already halfway through, the completionist in me did the rest. A decade later, I had twelve lessons and a version of myself shaped by the things I thought I wanted, then realised I didn’t.

The stories did not happen in this order, but arranging them by sign feels neater, a small courtesy to my Virgo nature. And for the record, all of this happened before it was embarrassing to have a boyfriend.

Aries

Aries was someone I had a crush on for a while; I floated into that date like I had won something. And for the first half, it genuinely felt exciting. He was passionate, glowing with enthusiasm about everything he loved. I just sat there absorbing the warmth of his personality, almost dizzy from the fact that I was actually out with him.

Then, I realised he hadn’t asked me a single thing about myself. I left the date feeling oddly flat, almost embarrassed that I had expected it to feel different. He even told me he wanted to spend his life getting to know me and then proceeded to ghost me. The worst part is that somewhere I still hoped he would call and say he had made a mistake. Ah, the teenage lack of self-respect. I cried over that boy for months and then dramatically vowed never to have a crush again.

Taurus

Taurus was kind, loved animals and was great with kids. He had that classic good-guy energy, the sort younger me would have proudly taken home to my parents. But he moved faster than I could manage. Before we even went on a date, he was already talking about commitment with a confidence that made me nervous.

Growing up, I assumed I’d jump at the chance to be in something serious. I thought I’d recognise ‘Prince Charming’ immediately and lock it down. But something in me stepped back. It surprised me how strongly I resisted what I’d always imagined wanting. Maybe this was the first time I realised that the woman I was becoming didn’t fit the script I’d written for her.

Gemini

Gemini is my Roman Empire, the catalyst for major character development. He was the man who answered work calls on dates, ghosted for weeks because “work got crazy” and cancelled plans because he wanted to “hang with the boys”. He was different when we were alone, different around people and different again whenever I tried to have a serious conversation. And yet, I fell so hard.

Maybe it was because he was also charming, funny and heartbreakingly lovable in those rare moments he was fully present. Looking back, he never pretended to be anything other than himself, even if “himself” came in four versions. His priorities were always clear. I was the one convincing myself he’d love me eventually if I just held on tighter.

Cancer

Cancer was a sweet, gentle and soft-spoken man who held doors and actually listened. But every story somehow circled back to his exes. He spoke about them with the tenderness usually reserved for a current partner. I realised after one date that he wasn’t out of love, just out of the relationship.

Your wishes are being fulfilled, so why limit yourself to the bare essentials and feel like a puppet in your own reality? Cancer, why won’t you wake up and smell the roses around you. Yes, your mind is racing ahead, way faster than your body or your reality, but allow yourself a moment. Not all decisions and actions may be easy, but they must be made for you to see change. Otherwise, the loop repeats itself and you get sucked in deeper. The simplest but most effective way to do this is to watch your instant responses to people and situations, Taurus. Why do you feel the pressure to fit in, Gemini? Why does it feel like you must choose one option over the other? You’re capable of both and your life can flow between multiple choices even if others don’t understand it. Choose differently only if something disturbs your peace, not because you don’t fit into someone else’s idea of you. What would life look like if you were living the exact dreams you wake up thinking about each day? Sag, as the vibe shifts, and the world gears up to wind down, your energy comes back with a bang. Your ideas flourish, your plans see day light, and your energy resurfaces like never before.

Read on for what the stars have in store for you, and make sure you check out your sun, moon and rising signs for the complete picture.

You worked hard towards something—so why did you stop, Aries? Did the lack of instant gratification shake your confidence or drain your motivation? Your guides remind you to regulate your breathing and release the unexpected burdens from your energy field. Your birthright is peace and harmony. Yes, human existence is full of ups and downs, but belonging and togetherness are baselines of human experience. Call a friend, check on them, share how you feel, take up a hobby class–do something that shifts your frequency and bring your slice of heaven to life.

Cosmic tip: Build the legacy you’ll one day be proud to look back on.

Tired of going in circles, Taurus? Rest assured, the cosmos is equally tired of watching your confusing dance. Not all decisions and actions may be easy, but they must be made for you to see change. Otherwise, the loop repeats itself and you get sucked in deeper. The simplest but most effective way to do this is to watch your instant responses to people and situations. You’ll realise where you’re holding back, and then slowly make a change even if it’s only once out of ten times.

Cosmic tip: Assert your boundaries, draw up your priorities and then rebuild your safe haven.

Let your spirit be your guide, Pisces. Let your ideas soar up high and let your intuition lead you forward. You are on track to head in the direction you’re clear about. As you build, allow your nervous system to relax and remind yourself that you’re no longer on the hamster wheel. As you soar high, remember that it is only onward and upward from here on.

Cosmic tip: Build your wealth, stability and success—slowly but surely.

A cocktail party demands confidence, style, and a sharp understanding of modern ethnic fashion trends. However, many men hesitate before choosing Indian traditional wear for an upscale evening celebration. That is where the Nehru jacket effortlessly bridges elegance, comfort, and festive sophistication.

Traditionally rooted yet surprisingly versatile, it fits perfectly into contemporary cocktail party styling. Moreover, it allows men to celebrate heritage without appearing overdressed or old-fashioned. So, when paired thoughtfully, the Nehru jacket becomes a statement piece that feels bold, refined, and stylish.

Additionally, it reflects confidence, cultural pride, and exceptional fashion sense. This blog explains exactly how to style a Nehru jacket purchased online from Nihal Fashions for unforgettable cocktail party appearances. From colors to fabrics, and footwear to accessories, every styling detail is thoughtfully covered.

So, step confidently into the party, because timeless Indian style never goes unnoticed.

Why A Nehru Jacket Works Perfectly for Cocktail Parties?

A cocktail party thrives on a balance between glamour, elegance, and effortless style. Interestingly, the Nehru jacket naturally offers that balance through structure and sophistication.

Unlike heavy traditional outfits, it feels sleek, lightweight, and comfortable. Furthermore, it adapts well to creative layering and modern silhouettes.

Men can dress it up or down based on the party’s vibe. As a result, it transitions smoothly from classy indoor evenings to rooftop cocktail gatherings. Its clean lines enhance masculine appeal while maintaining cultural authenticity. Therefore, the Nehru jacket becomes a smart alternative to blazers at ethnic cocktail events.

Choosing The Right Nehru Jacket Fabric for A Cocktail Look

Fabric selection defines how party-ready the Nehru jacket truly appears. For cocktail parties, lightweight yet rich fabrics always work best.

Silk blends create subtle shine under evening lights, enhancing elegance. Velvet, on the other hand, delivers dramatic flair ideal for night celebrations. Meanwhile, brocade fabrics add ornamental charm without overwhelming the overall look.

Avoid heavy wool or thick cotton, as they restrict movement and feel dated. Instead, choose fabrics that flow naturally and feel comfortable during long events.

Selecting Colors That Match Cocktail Party Energy – Go Beyond Basic Traditional Shades

Color plays a crucial role in elevating your Nehru jacket styling. Classic black, ivory, and navy remain safe yet powerful choices. However, cocktail parties allow playful experimentation with darker jewel tones.

Deep wine, emerald green, midnight blue, and charcoal grey look exceptionally refined. Furthermore, metallic accents in bronze or antique gold add richness without excess shine.

Avoid overly bright festival colors that feel more daytime than evening. Strategic color choices ensure elegance while maintaining party sophistication.

Pairing The Nehru Jacket with The Right Innerwear

The innerwear choice shapes the entire silhouette of your cocktail outfit. A crisp white or black shirt under the jacket creates a polished appearance.

For a more ethnic-inspired look, choose a fitted kurta with minimal detailing. Turtlenecks also work beautifully during winter cocktail gatherings. Stick to neutral or dark tones to keep attention on the jacket.

Avoid heavy embroidery underneath, which competes visually with the jacket design. Clean layering keeps the outfit structured and effortlessly chic.

Bottom Wear That Complements Your Nehru Jacket

Bottom wear choices can instantly modernize a Nehru jacket ensemble.

• Slim-fit trousers offer cocktail-ready refinement and unmatched comfort.
• Churidar pants remain classic but should fit perfectly without excess gathering.
• For experimental dressers, tailored ethnic pants create a trendy statement.
• Avoid loose pajamas that feel too casual for cocktail settings.
• Neutral colors like black, beige, or charcoal always work seamlessly.
• Well-fitted bottoms maintain elegance while allowing confident movement.

Footwear That Completes The Cocktail Party Look

Footwear can elevate or ruin the entire Nehru jacket outfit. For cocktail parties, polished leather loafers deliver effortless sophistication. Monk straps also add modern charm while staying formal and elegant.

For ethnic elegance, embroidered or textured mojarras work beautifully. Ensure footwear color complements the jacket, not overpowering the overall look. Avoid sandals or overly casual shoes, which disrupt the party mood. Comfortable yet stylish footwear ensures confidence throughout the evening.

Accessories That Add Cocktail-Ready Flair

Accessories should enhance the Nehru jacket without stealing attention. Pocket squares introduce subtle color contrast and personality. A sleek metal watch reinforces sophistication without excess.

Statement cufflinks work beautifully when paired with tailored shirts. Brooches add vintage charm when placed carefully on the jacket lapel. Avoid over-accessorizing, which feels cluttered at upscale cocktail events.

Strategic detailing keeps the look polished and unforgettable.

Grooming Tips to Match Your Nehru Jacket Style

No cocktail look feels complete without thoughtful grooming.

• A clean haircut enhances the sharp structure of the Nehru jacket.
• Well-groomed facial hair adds maturity and fashion confidence.
• Light fragrance selection complements the outfit without overwhelming nearby guests.
• Ensure clothes are pressed perfectly for crisp visual appeal.
• Attention to grooming reflects personal style awareness and party readiness.

Styling Nehru Jackets for Different Cocktail Party Themes

Indoor Cocktail Evenings

For indoor events, choose darker shades and polished fabrics. Layer with shirts or turtlenecks for refined silhouettes. Focus on sleek accessories and formal footwear choices.

Rooftop or Outdoor Cocktail Parties

Outdoor settings allow lighter colors and textured fabrics. Hence, opt for breathable materials and relaxed tailoring. Footwear should balance comfort with visual appeal.

Mistakes to Avoid at Cocktail Parties – Keep It Classy, Not Costume-Like

Avoid mixing too many traditional elements in one outfit. Over-embroidered jackets feel heavy and distract from elegance.

Ill-fitting jackets ruin posture and visual sharpness. Ignoring footwear coordination often undermines the entire look.

Your cocktail style focuses on refinement, not excessive tradition. So, a subtle collection visit to Nihal Fashions.

Final Thoughts

Styling a Nehru jacket for a cocktail party offers endless creative possibilities. It allows men to embrace Indian tradition with modern flair. With the right fabric, colors, and accessories, confidence naturally follows.

Each element should feel intentional, comfortable, and stylish. Ultimately, fashion works best when it reflects personality and celebratory energy.

So, step into the party, raise a glass, and let your Nehru jacket speak elegance.

Statement jackets create bold impressions instantly. They bring strong structure and fashionable flair to simple kurtas effortlessly during weddings. Additionally, their sharp silhouettes enhance your overall presence beautifully.

Choose embroidered jackets for vibrant functions. Select minimal jackets for elegant evening ceremonies. Each style adds depth to your kurta look. Moreover, jackets help strengthen the festive feel. Vibrant colours elevate daytime celebrations.

Dark tones boost nighttime charm. A fitted jacket enhances body proportion greatly. Always ensure proper shoulder alignment for a clean structure. Skip oversized styles to avoid bulky silhouettes.

Consider silk or brocade fabrics for luxurious richness. Their sheen creates refined glamour. Pair them with tailored churidars or tapered trousers for balance. This combination looks incredibly sophisticated and wedding-ready.

Try Layering with Stoles And Dupattas for Elevated Sophistication

Layering instantly enhances wedding outfits. Stoles and dupattas add graceful movement to your look effortlessly. Their flowing drapes improve visual richness.

Choose lightweight silk or chiffon materials for comfortable wear. Heavier options create a bold presence during grand events. Embroidered borders enhance luxury beautifully. Neutral dupattas balance heavily embroidered kurtas.

Colourful options brighten simpler designs. This contrast strengthens overall harmony. Experiment with shoulder drapes for personality. A single-shoulder drape feels modern. A cross-body drape feels royal. Both techniques offer stylish depth.

Ensure the drape length stays manageable. Overly long drapes feel uncomfortable. Therefore, pick lengths supporting seamless movement. Dupattas also help wedding photographs appear more dynamic. They create elegant frames around the outfit.

Add Structured Waistcoats to Bring Minimal Yet Powerful Kurta Drama

Waistcoats add refined structure to kurtas gracefully. Their clean lines enhance confidence instantly. Additionally, waistcoats offer versatile styling freedom.

Pastel waistcoats suit daytime wedding rituals. Jewel-toned waistcoats suit evening functions well. Brocade textures display festive richness. Linen textures deliver subtle elegance. Moreover, waistcoats define your torso effectively.

Such Indian men’s clothing provides sharp symmetry to simpler kurtas. However, ensure proper length around the waist. Extremely long waistcoats disrupt proportions. Pair your waistcoat with fitted bottoms for a neat appearance. Trousers or churidars balance the waistcoat’s sharpness.

Consider printed waistcoats for playful events. Consider monochrome waistcoats for sophisticated gatherings. This creates strong visual balance effortlessly.

Minimal accessories pair perfectly with waistcoats. The overall look stays polished and confident.

Choose Trendy Bottom Wear to Modernize Classic Kurtas

Modern bottom wear transforms every kurta instantly. Straight pants create clean aesthetics during weddings. Their neat lines elevate contemporary style.

Additionally, ankle-length trousers feel stylish and youthful. They modernize traditional silhouettes significantly. Dhoti pants offer cultural richness. Their draped shape enhances wedding drama. Therefore, pair them with solid kurtas for balance.

Avoid pairing heavy bottoms with embroidered kurtas. This prevents overwhelming combinations. Cigarette pants create sleek definition. They offer excellent comfort during long ceremonies. Moreover, choose colours that complement your kurta tone.

Avoid extreme contrasts during sophisticated events. Neutral hues create urban elegance. Printed bottoms suit festive daytime gatherings beautifully. Every bottom type enhances individuality effortlessly.

Experiment with Layered Kurtas for Unique Wedding Statements

Layered kurtas create a strong visual presence. They provide dimension without complicated styling. Therefore, they suit modern wedding trends perfectly. Opt for shorter outer layers for subtle drama. Choose longer layers for bold flair. Sheer overlays add soft charm.

Embellished overlays bring grandeur. Layered kurta pajama for men photographs beautifully during events. Their depth creates high-fashion energy effortlessly. Additionally, layering supports versatile colour combinations. Monochrome layers deliver sophistication.

Contrasting layers produce vibrant interest. However, ensure breathable fabrics for heavy wedding days. Lightweight chiffon layers feel comfortable. Silk layers appear luxurious. Pair layered kurtas with simple accessories. This maintains balance within the outfit. Avoid overwhelming footwear or heavy jewellery here.

Bring Fusion Touch with Indo-Western Kurtas to Weddings

Indo-Western kurtas blend modern silhouettes with traditional character. Their sharp cuts attract fashion-forward men easily. Slit patterns create fluid movement. High-low hems add runway-inspired style. Asymmetrical hems highlight confident individuality.

Therefore, choose these designs for cocktail nights. Indo-Western kurtas look great with fitted trousers. They maintain streamlined aesthetics effortlessly. Metallic tones add stunning impact. Statement buttons also elevate the design. Additionally, Indo-Western styles help shift away from typical wedding outfits.

They offer novelty while preserving cultural essence. Avoid excessive embellishments here. Clean patterns create sophisticated energy. Wear bold loafers or formal shoes for finishing. The combination feels crisp and modern.

Accessorize Smartly to Upgrade Your Kurta Game Completely

Accessories transform Indian men’s clothing like the kurta styling immediately. Therefore, invest in tasteful pieces for weddings. Statement brooches elevate classic designs.

Their metallic shine adds cultural depth. Choose brooches with subtle motifs during formal events. Choose ornamental brooches during vibrant functions. Pocket squares add lively character. They complement the jacket look beautifully.

Classic watches improve elegance. Avoid oversized dial designs. Sleek pieces deliver refined charm. Ethnic necklaces suit grand ceremonies well.

However, avoid heavy layering. Single statement pieces work better. Bracelets also add soft detail. Leather or metallic options work great. Sunglasses enhance the outdoor event’s look. Select angular frames for a sharp aesthetic.

Always match metals to maintain consistency.

You Can Elevate Kurta Looks with Premium Footwear Choices

Footwear completes your entire outfit gracefully. Therefore, choose pieces that complement your kurta tone.

• Mojaris feel traditional and classy. Juttis deliver strong cultural charm. Both suit wedding ceremonies effortlessly.
• Loafers work perfectly for Indo-Western kurtas. Their sleek style modernizes the look instantly.
• Kolhapuris suit daytime functions beautifully. Their earthy texture softens bright outfits.

Always match footwear shades with bottom wear. Extreme contrasts disrupt harmony. Embroidered footwear enhances festive outfits well. Ensure comfortable cushioning.

Long ceremonies require supportive souls. Well-maintained footwear enhances confidence noticeably.

Experiment with Prints & Patterns for Captivating Wedding Styles

Prints refresh traditional kurtas or classic Indian men’s clothing instantly. Floral prints feel youthful. Geometric prints feel stylish. They add personality effortlessly. Choose subtle prints for groom-side ceremonies. Choose vibrant prints for festive events.

Avoid mixing too many patterns. This creates visual clutter. Instead, combine printed kurtas with solid bottoms. This maintains clean harmony.

Metallic-thread prints enhance luxury. Silk fabrics amplify print richness. Pastel printed kurtas suit daylight functions beautifully. Dark printed kurtas suit night events. Prints express individuality strongly.

Choose Rich Fabrics for A Stunning Wedding Presence

Fabric selection influences your entire kurta appearance.

Ø  Silk feels royal. Brocade feels majestic. Chanderi feels graceful. These materials enhance wedding elegance.

Ø  Light cotton-silk blends offer comfort. They remain suitable for long ceremonies. Velvet adds winter glamour.

Ø  However, choose velvet for evening events only.

Ø  Avoid extremely thick fabrics during warm-weather functions. Breathable weaves maintain comfort. Rich fabrics create a natural sheen.

This improves photographs significantly. Additionally, premium materials elevate your confidence naturally.

Keep Grooming on Point to Complete The Kurta Look

Grooming enhances kurta styling effortlessly. Clean hairlines create sharp definition. Styled beards strengthen masculine charm. Subtle fragrances boost confidence. Polished shoes indicate attention. Every detail contributes meaningfully.

Your morning latte isn’t the only place cafeeine belongs anymore, given all the coffee benefits for skin. Between Ananya Panday’s DIY coffee-and-coconut oil scrub, Malaika Arora’s homemade body polish and Alaya F’s coffee masks, coffee benefits for skin have moved it from the pantry to prime position on the bathroom shelf.

Coffee beans are packed with antioxidants, especially polyphenols like phenolic acids and flavonoids, which help neutralise free radicals from UV, pollution and stress. In simple terms, that translates to less long-term dullness, a reduced appearance of sun damage and a bit more support for collagen so skin stays bouncier for longer. Coffee is also naturally anti-inflammatory, so it can help calm the look of redness after a long, hot day.

Then there’s the caffeine itself. It has a mild tightening effect on blood vessels, which is why coffee eye creams, patches and DIY under-eye massages are everywhere right now: they can temporarily de-puff and brighten so you look more awake. Used as a scrub, finely ground coffee boosts microcirculation at the surface, buffs away dead cells and gives you that instant, healthy flush that makeup can’t fully fake.

The trick is in how you bring it into your routine. Whether it’s Alaya mixing hers with honey and milk, Ananya with coconut oil or Malaika scrubbing it down from neck to toe, the coffee benefits for skin stay the same: smoother texture and a healthier bounce.

Celeb-approved ways to incorporate coffee into your skincare routine:

Coffee as an exfoliant

Mix ½ a cup of coffee grains with ½ a cup of granulated sugar along with ¼ cup of coconut oil and 2 tablespoons of water. Warm water helps dissolve the ingredients faster. Once the mixture is ready, gently rub it across the face to protect the skin barrier. Target areas around the nose and forehead where dirt and sebum accumulate. Let the mixture sit on the face for 5-10 minutes post application. It is imperative to use a minimal amount of coconut oil as it can clog the pores.

Coffee for dark circles

Caffeine has properties that constrain blood vessels, this reduces the appearance of the veins and discolouration in the under-eye region while honey is deeply moisturising. For the under eyes, mix around 2 tablespoons of coffee with 1 ½ tablespoons of honey and add a few drops of water till the paste is consistent and coffee grains are dissolved. Then, apply the paste on the under eyes, away from the water line to avoid any burning sensation and irritation. Let the paste stay on for 12-15 minutes and then gently wipe it off with a damp towel.

Coffee for sunburn

Coffee’s anti-ageing benefits along with aloe vera and rose water, can combat tan and sunburn. Aloe vera’s anti-bacterial properties prevent the skin from wrinkling and peeling and its hydrating qualities work to reduce redness. The vitamin E that is present in rose water helps in cooling the skin and reducing inflammation while improving the efficacy of SPF in the future. Mix ½ a cup of coffee grains, 3-4 tablespoons of aloe vera gel or 2 stems of aloe vera and 5-6 tablespoons of rose water until the coffee grains are dissolved and apply it all over the face. Let the mask sit for 18- 20 minutes and then rinse it with lukewarm water.

Coffee lip scrub

For lips that have seen one too many matte lipsticks, a coffee-and-honey mix works like magic. Blend a teaspoon of very finely ground coffee with a teaspoon of honey (and a drop of oil if you’re dry), massage over lips for 30–40 seconds, then wipe off and follow with a thick balm for a plush finish. Your lips will feel baby soft.

Coffee scalp scrub

If your roots live on dry shampoo, a coffee scalp scrub can help cut through build-up. Mix a tablespoon of fine coffee into your usual shampoo (or a little oil if you have a dry scalp), massage gently into the scalp before your wash, then rinse thoroughly. The combination of exfoliation and massage can help boost circulation and leave the scalp feeling cleaner, lighter and less weighed down.
