Times have changed and so have the people. Now the rules are different, be it habits, career or lifestyle. Those days are long gone when miniskirts, leather pants, and sequined tops were restricted to college kids. Now you can be a mother of two and still rock it in a little black dress and high heels. So what are the dressing rules for today? We’d say none. You just need to find your flair and shuffle it up with the new. Because like Yves Saint Laurent once said, “Fashion fades, style is eternal”. We have brought some easy-to-follow tips for those Indian women who want to be in tune with the modern while still being honest to their traditional roots:
Flirty 20s
One rule: Funk it up! This is your time to have just as much fun as you can have with fashion. 20s years are full of life and that’s what your clothes should reflect as well. Go crazy, experiment with styles and even if you want to keep it simple, don’t go dull. Play with all the colors you can get your hands on because nothing reflects your personality and mood like the colors you wear. Nothing you do during your 20s is too much! Go for playful Indo Western dresses, crop tops, layered silhouettes and pair them up with funky accessories. Try cocky glasses, colorful earrings, and shoes but keep it subtle unless bohemian is the look you are striving for!
What to wear in your 20s:
30s Chic Fashionista
The 30s are a subtle bridge between 20s and 40s when you are full of life while acquiring a mature sensibility as well. For these fast pacing years, slow down a little with your style. You can still have fun with your college favorites but give them a chic makeover. While work place will be better with stylish asymmetrical suits, go for tunics and maxi dresses instead of those short cute dresses for the weekends. You can also try a hand on those beautiful sarees from your mother’s closet that you always had your eyes on. Accessorize with bold jewelry pieces and Indian footwear like jootis for a statement look.

Classic 40s Diva
Now that you’ve stepped into your forties, does not mean you have to give away your fun and play side. You can still wear your frocks and kurtis but pair them up with a printed palazzo or skirt to create a fusion that is modern and yet not too overboard or weird in any way. Printed sarees are an absolute must-have in your closet for these are fun, smart and suitable for every age! Pair up with traditional junk jewelry or simple diamond and pearl pieces for a subtle desi and smart look.
What to wear in your 40s:
Elegant 50s
If there’s anything we can tell you to do in your 50s then it’s – don’t be boring! Just because you have officially survived half a century does not mean you have to dress like it! Be elegant, not dull. You can still very well go for your favorite colors and yet be sophisticated and classy. Instead of neon hues, go for toned down shades if you are not feeling comfortable with perky colors. Woven sarees, printed salwar suits are your go-to style for every day and even for festive occasions, you have various options available. A chignon hair up-do and light bangles are your finishing touches to the whole look.
