Summer Trends in the 'New Normal'
The 'new normal' has taken effect in the country as we observe a "smart lockdown" with other aspects getting used to the different lifestyle changed by the onset of the novel coronavirus.
Usually, we are accustomed to the summer season being all about who wore what? How and where? This year due to the circumstances, we see the typical trends have taken a turn as well, more focused in a home-centric environment as social outings are at an indefinite standstill.
We look at a few trends which have emerged this season, what's considered "in fashion" now? Let's see:
Fruity Trends
This season has been all about the heat wave, incorporating hydrating formulas into the summer routine, including fruity face-masks, perfumes, nail makeovers, makeup, fashion, you name it! The fresh aesthetic is what it's about with make up inspired by seasonal fruits, such as watermelons, cherries, kiwi, and mangoes!
Pastels & Florals
Pastels and bright pinks, yellows, green and baby blues are in for the summer! Be it sundresses, kurtis, shirts or whole outfits put together; we've noticed the seasonal trend of presenting in pastel, with floral allure. Since we may not get to go on vacation, we improvise! Whether it be through our makeup choices or fashion and accessories, we make the most of the holidays with inspired taste!
