When it comes to hydration, drinking water always seems to be the obvious answer. We know how much water we need to drink per day, but is there an alternative that can bring more hydration to the body other than just water? A scientific study reveals this to us: among the various beverages analysed, milk – both whole and skimmed – was found to be among the most hydrating, even surpassing mineral water in some conditions. But how is this possible? The explanation is to be found in the nutritional composition of milk.

Milk or water: which hydrates more? A study changes the rules

A study from the University of St Andrews in Scotland, published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, compared different beverages in terms of hydration by analysing fluid retention levels in the hours after drinking. Milk scored higher on the hydration index than drinking water. “Milk contains natural sugars, proteins and fats. These nutrients slow the emptying of the stomach, helping the body retain fluids longer,” the researchers explain.

Why does milk hydrate more than water?

Here’s what makes milk a great hydrating drink:

• High electrolyte content (such as sodium and potassium), which help the body retain fluids
• Presence of protein and carbohydrates, which slow digestion, prolonging the presence of water in the body
• Balanced osmolarity, which promotes water absorption by cells

When does drinking milk help to hydrate?

Although water always remains the most recommended drink under normal conditions, there are times when milk can be an even more effective choice, for example:

• After strenuous physical activity, replenish fluids and nutrients
• In children and the elderly, to promote more complete hydration
• In periods of mild dehydration, when fluids need to be better retained

Milk is therefore also a useful beverage for hydration, particularly in specific situations where retaining more fluid is important. It is certainly not a substitute for water, but it can be added to it intelligently if the need arises.

Beware if you are lactose intolerant

It should be remembered that not everyone can drink milk. Those who are lactose intolerant or have special digestive conditions should consult their doctor. Alternatively, some plant-based drinks (such as soy or oat milk) may offer a good compromise, but they do not achieve the levels of hydration that cow’s milk has.

The best time to drink milk every day, according to a nutritionist

Your grandmother was right, chaas might be the best daily ritual for your gut

Gut health has become the umbrella explanation for everything we can’t pin down; bloating after a dal-chawal lunch, skin that breaks out without warning, the 5 pm slump that turns your brain to porridge. Strip away the pills and powders and you’re left with the basics: what you eat, how you eat it and whether it’s feeding the trillions of bacteria running the show inside you.

This is what that looks like on a plate. Functional medicine nutritionist and lifestyle educator Karishmma Chawla maps her day through small, repeatable choices. It reads like a microbiome-friendly routine rooted in the Indian kitchen—sabzi for fibre, khakras when you need a snack, probiotics when they help, patience when they don’t. Good digestion begins with what you choose, plate after plate.

Morning: lime water, fruit, and a gut-first mindset

She starts her day with lime water for her gut health, “as it helps keep my blood alkaline and gut lining intact and ready for morning action.” Then comes a pear, followed by “a weak black coffee so that I’m not messing around my gut linings with dark caffeine.”

To support digestion and energy from the start, she adds: “I do take a high strength B complex to extract the maximum benefits out of my food through the day.”

Breakfast: protein and a little help with digestion

Breakfast is minimal. “Usually I stick around good protein which includes organic egg whites,” she says. Before eating, “I take digestive enzyme to help breakdown my food better hence help with smooth digestion.”

Mid-morning snack: a carrot crush

Around mid-morning, she reaches for what’s become a daily ritual: “a simple carrot crush with some olive oil and a pinch of pink salt.” It’s adrenal support disguised as a snack. “Trust me, it helps with my adrenal fatigue levels and keeps me going through the day.”

Lunch: a fibre-first thali

“Lunch typically be like a normal vegetarian thali,” she says. “There would be jowar roti or brown rice with a bowl of soup or 1–2 bowls of vegetables. Also some carrot sticks or a bowl of simple salad jumps into my plate.”

Among all this, she pays special attention to vegetables. “What I consciously include is sabzi to ensure my adequate quotient of fibre in a day and help my insides to smoothly do the churning process.”

Afternoon: a mindful crunch

Between meals, she reaches for healthy fats. “This becomes the time where I graze mindfully on walnuts and almonds, pumpkin seeds—the healthy quotient of the fats, you see.”

Evening snack: clean and familiar comfort

“I do snack before my dinner as I end up being at my work,” she explains. “So I quickly hop on jowar brown rice mini khakras.” She doesn’t pick them up at random. “I’m very careful about where I get them to be sure the ingredients are clean and they’re gluten-free.” When time allows, the crackers are made at home. “Paring it will some organic egg whites again.”

Dinner: light, early and fibre-rich

“Here I take my bowl of soup, vegetable and palm-size chicken. I go lighter but keep my stomach full with good fibre and protein.”

Cosmic tip: This is the time to keep marching forward, you know it.

Oh, it feels so good to know where you want to head and actually make your way towards your new goals. Taurus, the more lightness you move forward with, the more hope and optimism you infuse in your life, directly impacting the tangible and intangible rewards you collect along the way. You may be finally learning how to belong to the Earth, your zodiac element and your home, and this pull you feel towards nature, towards clean eating, towards caring for your body, towards conscientious living, not only physically but in every single way, it is divinely guided and perfectly timed. The more you connect with nature and its elements, even in simple ways like focusing on how water feels as you drink it, the more doors you will open in your life. Why? Because nature is ever abundant, and it holds a subtle lesson or two it can share with you on activating your personal abundance.

Cosmic tip: Receive your inner wisdom with gratitude and let yourself go with the flow.

Could it be that your indecision is the hurdle you face in achieving forward momentum, Gemini? Now listen up, your guides have an important message for you. In the eyes of the soul, there are no wrong paths, only decisions that lead to certain results. Now these results can either become your blooming orchards or steer you towards lush landscapes; either way, your life is meant to be a learning curve. So instead of fretting over one probable wrong turn, think of all the wonderful experiences your decision to make your moves will trigger. Your heart is ready to tangify something and build it in earnest, give it a shot, and you might just stop chasing happiness and create it for yourself instead.

Cosmic tip: There may be many options in front of you, but ultimately, they all lead home.

The wait may feel boring, resentful and downright dull; however, Cancer, your wishes are about to be fulfilled soon enough. You may have been thinking long and hard about an opportunity to fall in love once again with your work, your life, your partner, or you may have simply been asking yourself some important questions. And here is the thing: if you can dream it, if it holds space in your mind, Cancer, the Universe wants you to have it. So, however long and arduous the road ahead might seem, remember, unlike the past versions of you, you are in this for the long haul. So tune in, hands on your heart, eyes closed and ask yourself where do you wish to be, the answers you receive will not be your imagination, instead they are your soul talking to you. Allow your intuition to guide you.

You work all night, you work all day, to pay the bills you have to pay? (There really is a Mamma Mia quote for everything.) But seriously—we’re all overworking, right? Like, we’re working all day and then, somehow, well into the evening, too? Maybe the moment you open your eyes, you instinctively reach for your phone to check your work emails. And maybe, on your “lunch break,” you find yourself quickly finishing up some last-minute to-dos. And possibly, on your commute home, you use the “free time” as a chance to get ahead for the next day. You might even find your laptop calling to you after dinner.

If all of this sounds familiar, you may have found yourself falling into the trap of the “infinite workday”—which is exactly what it sounds like. A workday that feels like it never ends, whether you’re heading home for the evening or even jetting off on holiday.

And Microsoft’s Work Trend Index has found evidence to back it up. Meetings outside the traditional 9 to 5 have risen by 153%, with meetings after 6pm increasing by 46%. Plus, the average employee sends or receives over 50 messages outside of core business hours. They even found a new “third peak” of work, which happens at 10pm.

It’s “characterised by a frenzied pace and never-ending pull to be working,” explains Bree Groff, author of TODAY WAS FUN: A Book About Work (Seriously). It tends to follow a similar pattern. “The classic infinite workday starts as early as 6am, with an employee rolling over to check their email seconds after they open their eyes and before looking at any partner lying next to them,” she says.

Throughout this unending workday, things probably feel hectic. You might feel pulled in multiple directions or find yourself multitasking to the point of confusion. “The workday itself is characterised by a barrage of interruptions with little to no focus time,” says Groff. And this style of work is becoming more common—Microsoft cites that workers are interrupted on average every 2 minutes by a meeting, email or message. “And the work only continues into the evening with evening emails,” she says. 29% of active employees claim they dive back into their inboxes by 10pm. “Then, of course, there’s weekend work too, with no day spared from the grind.”

Not every occasion needs its own bag, but an afternoon at the beach just might. If your summer plans include making your way down the Amalfi Coast or exploring the shores of Ibiza, there’s one problem you’re going to face: Sand. It gets everywhere. Including the everyday tote you’ve decided to take to the beach.

Whether you’re the kind of person who lounges with a paperback and lemon iced tea or stands ankle deep in the water, your feet slowly sinking into the earth beneath you, your bag needs to keep up and look good while doing it. A summer-ready beach bag should be roomy enough for the essentials (sunscreen, oversized towel, half your bathroom cabinet), light enough to not become an inconvenience and durable enough to survive any spontaneity. But functionality aside, it has to be very cute.

Ahead, five different types of beach bags for your upcoming holiday.

1. The raffia bag

Breathable, light, and beach-proof, raffia has become a summer staple. Look for pieces with leather detailing or experimental shapes that elevate the natural weave.

2. The oversized tote

A classic canvas tote might conjure up images of farmers’ markets and art students, but it needs an upgrade. Think oversized proportions, internal compartments and sturdy zips. They’re ideal for long travel days and even longer beach lounging.

First Look: Anamika Khanna brings her love for jewellery to a debut bag collection

Sitting at my desk, enjoying a quick scroll on Instagram (in the name of research) I found myself hovering over a picture of Glamour’s very stylish European fashion editor wearing a pair of… well, at the time I couldn’t quite remember the name for them. With the word on the tip of my tongue, I put the question to the rest of the Vogue Shopping desk. I was met with vacant stares when I described the trousers as “long bloomers” and “hippie trousers with a peplum hem,” however my code-breaking colleagues soon reminded me that they are, in fact, called pantaloons.

I’d recently spotted these “pantaloons” on a few well-dressed friends and decided it was about time I found some for myself. Then the mystical Google algorithm – that always know what I’m looking for before I do – threw up a number of variations on the theme, including harem pants, crochet trousers and printed capris.

While boho skirts and dresses are fun for the moment, what will we do when September rolls around? Enter: boho trousers. Free-spirited, easy to style and, most importantly, comfortable, they are the answer to our transeasonal styling struggles, helping us to bridge the gap between summer and autumn without abandoning our Chloé-coded aesthetic.

When it comes to Indian weddings, details matter. From the flower petals strewn along the aisle to the intricate embroidery on your sleeve—everything tells a story. And one of the most visually powerful stories? The moment the bride and groom appear together, perfectly styled. That’s where coordinating your Wedding Sherwani with your bride’s lehenga comes in—it’s not just stylish, it’s a statement of unity, planning, and modern elegance.

Gone are the days when grooms would randomly pick a sherwani two weeks before the wedding. Today’s man is fashion-forward, involved, and invested in matching aesthetics. And the best part? It’s not just about wearing the same colour—it’s about thoughtful pairing. So if you’ve got a wedding coming up, this guide is your complete lookbook on how to pull off this modern style move.

Let’s decode the trend together.

Why It’s More Than Just a Trend

Matching your Sherwani for Men with your partner’s lehenga is rooted in the larger shift toward personalization in weddings. Couples want their attire to feel like a curated extension of their love story—not just two separate outfits thrown together. Whether it’s with complementary hues, shared embroidery themes, or even matching dupattas (yes, grooms wear stoles too), coordination adds harmony and a unique aesthetic balance to the couple’s look.

Plus, it makes for incredible photos. Picture this: your Wedding Sherwani echoing the gold motifs of her blouse or the deep emerald of her dupatta glinting through your buttons. Subtle echoes like these can elevate your wedding visuals from basic to breathtaking.

Start With Her Look, Then Build Yours

In most Indian weddings, the bride usually finalizes her lehenga first—and for good reason. The bridal outfit tends to have more detailing, color gradients, and layers. Once that’s set, your job is to build your Sherwani around her ensemble without overpowering it. This is where choosing the right Sherwani for groom​ becomes both an art and a science.

At Nihal Fashions, the sherwani collections are thoughtfully curated to blend classic styles with modern cues, making it easier for you to find a piece that complements—not competes with—your bride’s lehenga.

Color Matching: It’s Not What You Think

Coordinating doesn’t mean wearing the same color. Instead, focus on the tone, texture, and contrast. If her lehenga is a bold ruby red, try a cream sherwani with ruby detailing on the collar and cuffs. If she’s chosen a pastel pink with silver embellishments, a blush-toned Sherwani for Men with a subtle silver threadwork can tie your look to hers.

Try color-blocking if you’re the adventurous kind. Mint and rose, navy and champagne, ivory and emerald—when paired thoughtfully, contrasting colors can look bold and cohesive.

Embroideries That Speak the Same Language

Look beyond color. Embroidery plays a big role in synchronizing your outfits. If your bride’s lehenga features Mughal motifs, a Sherwani with similar florals, paisley, or jali work in matching thread can quietly say, “we belong together.”

A silk Wedding Sherwani with zardozi handwork, gota patti borders, or dabka embroidery can mirror the opulence of her ensemble without being over the top. The trick is in the detailing—repeat motifs or embroidery styles across borders, sleeves, and stoles.

Playing with Fabrics: The Understated Sync

You don’t need to match fabrics stitch-for-stitch, but the feel and finish should complement each other. If her lehenga is crafted from velvet with heavy brocade detailing, a raw silk or jacquard Sherwani for groom​ will match the luxe energy.

On the other hand, if her outfit is light and airy—think georgette or net—a linen-blend or chanderi Sherwani in pastel tones can create that breezy, elegant couple aesthetic that’s ideal for a day wedding or beach ceremony.

Accessorize Like a Couple, But Not Too Much

Accessories can silently reinforce the coordinated look. Think matching safas and dupattas in similar prints, pocket squares that pick up her lehenga hue, or statement buttons that mirror her jewelry. But remember—overdoing it can make the look seem forced.

Keep your turban or stole in a fabric and color that connects with her look, not matches it exactly. Even subtle overlaps, like matching your brooch to her earrings, can bring a polished, well-thought-out look.

Regional and Cultural Touches

Different communities in India have distinct styles of Sherwani for Men, and this can be a beautiful base to build your coordinated look. South Indian weddings, for example, often include ivory and gold tones. Instead of veering into predictable territory, go for a modern kurta with sherwani overlay in textured ivory with hand-done gold threadwork, while she dons a gold Kanjeevaram lehenga or saree.

Similarly, in Sikh or Punjabi weddings, bold hues like maroon, royal blue, and fuchsia are common. A rich Wedding Sherwani with velvet accents and antique embroidery will pair brilliantly with a traditional bridal ensemble in these tones.

Occasions Within Occasions: Not Just for the Big Day

Your wedding isn’t just a one-outfit event. There’s the engagement, haldi, mehendi, sangeet, and reception—each with its own fashion moments. Matching or coordinating your outfits for each occasion in small ways creates a beautiful visual narrative throughout your celebrations.

For the sangeet, maybe she wears a mirror-work lehenga while you go for a printed Sherwani with mirror accents. For the haldi, you both wear different shades of yellow, or your stole has a marigold motif that mirrors her blouse embroidery.

When you think of each moment as a fashion story, the final wedding day feels like a grand finale where your Sherwani for groom​ truly shines.

What’s Trending Right Now in Couple Coordination?

Here’s where we drop in a quick roundup of current couple-coordination styles that are making waves across real weddings and designer ramps:

• Tone-on-tone pastels with matching metallic embroidery (think mint, lilac, or powder blue)
• Layered neutrals where the bride wears ivory and the groom complements with beige or taupe
• Contrast accents like colored dupattas or borders that show unity without being identical
• Theme-based embroidery (floral vines, stars, paisley) that runs across both outfits
• Fabric twins—both wear similar base fabric (like silk or velvet), styled differently

These themes show up across every collection at Nihal Fashions, which makes choosing your Sherwani not just easy, but exciting.

Quick Tips to Nail the Matching Game

Here’s your go-to cheat sheet to avoid overwhelm and get it right the first time:

• Start early. Don’t leave your sherwani shopping for the last minute
• Choose HER outfit first—always
• Use her outfit to inspire, not copy
• Match at least one element—color, embroidery, or accessory
• Think of coordination across events, not just the wedding day
• Make sure both outfits photograph well together under different lighting
• Consult stylists or use in-store coordination help at trusted outlets like Nihal Fashions

The Nihal Fashions Edge

If you’re looking for a Sherwani for Men that goes beyond the usual—something elegant, coordinated, and stylishly versatile – Nihal Fashions is your destination. Their expansive collection includes traditional and modern Wedding Sherwanis in various hues, embroidery styles, and fabrics, designed to pair effortlessly with bridal couture.

Whether you want a minimalist sherwani with a touch of zari or a regal velvet piece with bold embroidery, the curated designs help grooms create a fashionable and unified look that doesn’t get overshadowed.

Final Word: It’s About the Bigger Picture

In the end, matching your Sherwani with your bride’s lehenga is about celebrating togetherness—from the very first look to the last dance. It’s not about “his” and “hers”—it’s about “us.” And when your outfits echo that, the magic becomes visible.So go ahead, plan together, shop smart, and let your Wedding Sherwani tell a story that starts with love and ends with style.

As health consciousness rises, so do product launches. Brands now promise better hair, glowing skin and gut health, all with a scoop of their powder. Protein kulfi and samosas have turned from products into memes. “Turning protein into a beauty must-have taps into insecurities,” says Bhatia. “It’s the oldest diet-culture trope: sell ‘better looks’.” It’s an unfortunate pattern that then leaves women feeling dissatisfied when they can’t meet the made-up target. But the goal doesn’t need to be a designer tub or Instagrammable macros; just a reframe of the familiar.

For omnivores: a palm-sized piece of grilled chicken (25g protein per 100g) or a fillet of fish—salmon, rohu or pomfret (20g per 100g). Eggs—six grams apiece—slot easily into any meal. For vegetarians, a generous ladle of dal or rajma (12-15g per cup) with rice or roti builds a complete amino-acid profile. Paneer and Greek yoghurt come in at 10-14g per 100g, while tofu and soy nuggets offer 10g per 100g. Nuts, seeds, sprouts, even millets—amaranth, foxtail, bajra—layer protein through snacks and side dishes. And if convenience calls, a scoop of good-quality whey or plant-based powder can bridge inevitable gaps.

Still, as clinical nutritionist Payal Kothari notes, more isn’t always better. Excess protein, especially without fibre or in processed forms, can strain the gut. “A healthy gut is essential,” she says, “because even the best protein-rich diet won’t work if digestion and absorption are compromised.” Protein isn’t a vanity metric, it’s the backbone of strength, resilience and long-term health. Yes, the market is glossy and the hashtag is irresistible. But real strength lies in understanding your body’s needs and stepping off the trend train.

Maybe the real flex isn’t 30 grams-per-meal perfection. Maybe it’s asking: “What feels good today?” Sometimes the answer is a protein shake. Sometimes, it’s skipping the gym to lie in bed with a bowl of dal-chawal and zero guilt. Protein may be trending, but our bodies were not built for virality. So, if we’re going to feed ourselves, maybe it’s time we fed the need, not the narrative.

In the ever-shifting world of menswear, where trends flip faster than Instagram reels, one thing is crystal clear—Kurta Pajama for Men is having a massive fashion moment. But wait, not just any style. It’s the Kurta with pajama for men​, reimagined through the effortlessly cool, understatedly elegant lens of South Indian fashion. Yes, it’s rooted in culture, but the modern take is pure trend-forward genius. From temples to mehndis to casual brunches, this look is shaping up to be the new-age uniform for men who want to serve elegance without trying too hard.

Why South Indian-Inspired Menswear Is the Vibe Right Now

South Indian men’s fashion has always been deeply elegant, minimalistic, and woven with heritage. But it’s not just about tradition anymore—it’s the seamless blend of history with contemporary silhouettes that’s catching everyone’s eye. Think flowing kurta pajama combos in ivory, muted golds, soft linens, or classic blacks. Pair that with temple-inspired borders, minimal embroidery, or breathable cotton textures, and you have a whole look that screams sophistication.

The South Indian vibe comes with a built-in sense of authenticity. It doesn’t try too hard. That simplicity? That’s the real flex. And let’s be honest—when your outfit is breathable, comfortable, and stylish all at once, that’s not just fashion. That’s a lifestyle upgrade.

The Rise of the South Indian Kurta Aesthetic in 2025

You’ve probably already seen it: celebrities in white-on-white Mens wear kurta pajama​ sets at movie promotions, influencers styling off-white kurtas with temple jewellery for fusion weddings, and grooms opting for minimal but bold silk sets instead of overworked sherwanis.

What’s behind this shift?

• Fashion fatigue from heavy, embroidered, maximalist looks
• A push for sustainable, breathable natural fabrics
• Renewed interest in regional fashion roots
• An aesthetic that fits both casual and traditional occasions

The result? A surge in demand for kurta pajama for men that reflects understated richness—clean cuts, fine detailing, and that iconic draped pajama or dhoti style that South Indian looks are known for.

Key Design Elements That Define This Trend

So what makes the Kurta with pajama for men​ distinctly South Indian in its new avatar? Let’s break it down.

1. The Fabric Focus: South Indian styles are all about textures. Pure cotton, raw silk, Khadi, and handwoven linens make the cut. These aren’t just breathable; they also age beautifully with every wash, adding to their charm.

2. The Silhouette: Long, well-tailored kurtas with straight-cut or wrap-around pajamas dominate the trend. There’s a structural ease to the fit, which is ideal for warm climates and long events.

3. The Palette: This aesthetic is rooted in earthy tones and temple-inspired neutrals—think off-white, beige, muted mustard, grey, and classic deep maroon. However, 2025 is also seeing an explosion of jewel tones—navy, olive, rust, and deep emeralds—styled the South Indian way.

4. Details That Matter: Gold zari borders, subtle embroidery, pin-tucked plackets, coconut shell buttons, and draped dupattas give the outfits their signature rooted-yet-modern feel. These aren’t OTT embellishments—they’re style signatures.

From Wedding Looks to Day-to-Day Wear: The Versatility Factor

Here’s the beauty of this trend—it’s not boxed into one occasion. The kurta pajama for men in this South Indian style fits almost anywhere.

Wedding Ready, Minimal Style

Ditch the sherwani. A silk mens wear kurta pajama set with a temple border, styled with Kolhapuri chappals and a shawl, is 2025’s ultimate groomsman look. You stay cool, look royal, and move with ease—now that’s fashion-forward tradition.

Puja and Family Functions

Lungi-style pajamas with crisp cotton kurtas are not just rooted in culture; they’re also perfectly suited for long rituals and celebrations. Comfort + elegance = the perfect blend.

Festive Casuals & Sunday Brunches

Pair a linen kurta pajama with sneakers or slip-ons, add a canvas sling bag, and you’re set for brunch with the crew. The relaxed aesthetic of South Indian menswear adapts beautifully to urban lifestyles.

Travel and Vacations

Who knew the perfect airport look was waiting in your ethnic wardrobe? A light kurta with tapered pajamas makes a great travel fit. Go for a pastel tone, roll up the sleeves, and throw on a pair of wayfarers.

Who’s Wearing It? Hint: Everyone is Cool

Fashion-forward men—from Bollywood to your neighborhood cafe—are embracing the new Kurta with pajama for men​ trend in full swing. Actor Dulquer Salmaan’s minimalist Kerala-style looks, Vijay Deverakonda’s laid-back ivory kurtas, and even newer influencers on the South content scene are bringing this look to the forefront.

But this isn’t just about celebrity trends. It’s resonating with men who want their style to reflect culture, comfort, and intention—without going full costume mode. This is where Nihal Fashions steps in with elevated, wearable looks that check all the boxes.

Breaking the Gender Bias: Fluid Fashion Influence

We’re also in the age of unisex styling. The clean cuts and neutral tones of Mens wear kurta pajama​ outfits make them great candidates for couple styling or even non-binary fashion experiments. We’re seeing women layer these kurtas as tunics, style them with pants or belts, and reimagine the pajama for androgynous looks.

That’s the power of fashion rooted in simplicity—it becomes infinitely versatile.

Styling Hacks for 2025

Let’s throw in a few style-forward tips to own this trend:

Add a Dupatta or Angavastram: Don’t shy away from layering a temple-inspired stole. It elevates the look instantly.

Footwear Matters: Stick with ethnic sandals, Kolhapuris, or even minimalist leather slides. Avoid sneakers for traditional occasions.

Go Minimal on Accessories: A slim watch, a chain, or a finger ring is enough. The outfit should shine on its own.

Mix Modern & Classic: Try pairing a modern short kurta with a traditional draped pajama. Opposites attract.
