Fashion is a rage that travels through places and time. I believe Fashion and style goes hand in hand. “Fashion and Style” is an aspiration shared by everyone as it is an extension of your own personality. It is what defines your exterior and evolves you in certain ways you might not comprehend. For some people, clothes might just be a mere piece of fabric stitched to wrap around your body but a true stylist sees them in a different light. A light from where they can navigate the difference between color, cut and silhouette with the drop of a hat. When a person smiles, the outfit must smile with them. Fashion should be spontaneous and something that you do for yourself, not just to impress others. When an aesthetic eye meets a stylish tasteful soul, there is an emergence of a true fashionista. A true fashion follower is someone who truly appreciates and takes fashion as an art or an iconography. Someone who genuinely enjoys the whole process that goes into making the perfect look.
As technology is developing rapidly, the world is getting smaller and smaller, making various altering aspects of fashion accessible to even a small country like ours. Evidently, Kathmandu’s fashion scenario has definitely peaked by a good fraction in the last few years. Yes! Kathmandu, a city full of fashion enthusiasts and clothing stores even at the nook of any random street.
Fashion is undeniable even for those who contradict it. We all love to look a certain way from a young punk who can swear an oath to never get over “black and studs” or a woman who limits herself to only saris or a man who cant imagine himself wearing anything but “khaki with chapals” to a girl who can vouch her life in the name of Chanel, Prada, YSL and Gucci. Acknowledge it or not, we all live with fashion accompanied by our own personal style and temperament. What is so great about fashion is the fact that it speaks in volume and transcends different attitudes and reaches out to a general mass. We are all of different shapes, sizes, color, character and that is what makes the world so interesting to live in. The various trends that come and go with each season are the elements that make fashion enviably our hottest accomplice.

As a blogger I’m here to tell you ‘What to wear’ for this crazy monsoon and forthcoming autumn with these 12 hottest trends to die for-

3.     MIXED PRINT: Animal prints, geometric prints are really hot this season. As the patterns are fierce and strong, light make ups and no accessories work best in creating a perfect elegant look. Polka dots are also making a fierce come back. This season just let the prints do the talking.
