   Lavender is all set to rule this season. What you can do is use lavender in each piece of clothing, like a purple jacket or a violet scarf. It just makes you look regal. While Pantone has named ultra violet as the colour of the year, we can’t help but wonder at the beauty this pastel shade brings out in you.

3. Checks are still going strong:

   2018 demonstrates a more high sleeve, high neck and a low hem look as skin show is so a thing of the past. While you’re focussed on the garments, make sure that the hair is tied back or even braided up would do just fine. It would bring out the elegance and poise in you. Try the look.

7. The Fanny pack stage a comeback:

You could opt for an athletic approach and swing yours over the shoulder.

   For a few instances, erase all you were taught in your art classes about colour combinations and complementary colours. Adorn yourself in a single colour from head-to-toe while using different shades to set the right balance between unity and fun.

Other honourable mentions you’re welcome to try are a mix and match different prints for a rebel look, throw in some art amidst your plain look and drown in the 60’s floral look that is fresh and fervent as ever. Let the New Year see the new you. Do something creative with your wardrobe.
