Fashion and style fanatics across the globe have never been this thankful. To be able to 'dress-up' and then swap stilettos for sneakers and yet remain in the domains of being stylish, is a trend revolution like no other. From the streets to the red carpet, there has been absolutely no stopping this trend. Further to see it being adorned in countless ways (read jeans, boyfriend jeans, skirts, dresses, suits, you name it) brings yet another unbridled thrill in its being. Which is why when I was received this pair of sneakers by AdidasOriginals, at the very first thought I was clueless and undecided whether to stick to my styling aesthetics or opt for a normcore or a minimalistic look. My underlying idea though was well defined. To create a look which highlights comfortable dressing without sacrificing style. Which is why, I chose to step completely outside my comfort zone, wore my dressy maxi, threw on this sweater dress as an added layer and left the sneakers to do the rest.

The fashion circuit is certainly rejoicing as the sportswear turns couture (take a clue). So before you label those track pants as 'gym alone', that sweatshirt as 'weekend night at home alone' or your favourite sneakers as 'for running alone', think again! But don't forget to let me know by commenting below, or on my Instagram or Twitter. I hope you liked the look!

Let's accept it. Fashion rules are meant to be broken. Broken, because if they aren't the infinite possibilities in trends and styles cannot emerge. Once a faux pas, the denim on denim trend has come a long way. Thanks to thriving street styles, A-listers and bloggers, sporting a chambray shirt with jeans feels fresh again. Having done stronger denim on denim looks here and here, I personally feel that a double denim look is all about finding a balance and identifying pieces that suit your body type the best. Lighter shades of denim tend to draw attention to the body areas they cover, while the darker washes create a slimming effect. My personal favourites in this regard which I deem as wardrobe essentials would be - a light wash chambray shirt, deep denim skinny jeans, a denim skirt, a denim jacket and distressed, medium wash shorts. Make sure you mix your denim wash-wise or weight-wise. If you are going in for a single tone look, add elements to break the monotony.
