Katrina Kaif’s all for casual chic

Winter time to play in the sun. Go golfing. It is also the polo season, and its afternoon dos. And around - they go to see and be seen. Set trends. Bring to india the latest on the international ramp, which this year seems to be sporty chic. That means sweatshirts, corduroys, short jackets, hound tooth check trousers….because both men and women aim at looking fashionable, but feeling comfortable. So, structured looks and sophisticated flares, new age fabrics and colours will be in. Think Roberto Cavalli, at the Milan Fashion Week, or Michael Villbrachr’s sporty pant suits at the New York One, or lacoste’s latest Fall/winter collection. Designed by Christopher Lemaire, many admired the innovation and funky twist of the outfits. Reason enough for them to launch the same in india? Fashion is about being comfortable, thus, Lacoste’s latest collection is in innovative fabrics, while the casual style makes it just perfect for the season, And, of course, the colours like lollipop pink for men and eclipse blue for women, make the collection peppy.
Agrees Designer Hemant Trevedi, “Casual, sporty chic is a welcome trend. It is a break from bling and over embellishment. It is ideal daywear during winters. Actress Pooja Bedi like it funky, but accentuated with “feminine flare and funky colourst hat pep up one’s mood.” And what appeals to the Gen-Xers is the hip-hop touch. Says Katrina Kaif, “Casual chic is an understated form of dressing up. Lacoste’s latest range - spells style and relaxed elegance. I love their moleskin-feeel jackets.” Source: ‘Times of India’
