There are so many things we still need to get freedom from, even after 68 years of Independence. Let's keep it on the lighter side this weekend and make sure we don't commit these fashion mistakes on our Saturday night out.
Following are the trends I think, we all need to get away from as soon as possible.
1. Sheer dresses - Let's face it, when Carolina Herrera says enough with the sheer dresses, I think we ought to follow her advice. When we saw Rihanna at CFDA 2014 in an Adam Selman, bearing it all in over 23,000 Swarovski crystals, it was the 'It' moment in the fashion world. But come 2015 MET gala, Beyonce, Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Lopez are all carrying the same trend and it is not fun anymore. Let's leave some things to imagination, shall we?
2. Harem Pants - Enough with the boho-chic. It's time to let the world see your form. Harems are so 2011!
3. Pyjamas as daywear - Why would you bring your bedroom to a ballroom? You are out there to socialise, not to put others to sleep. If your conversation is doing that, then it is a different issue all together. But if your outfit is reminding others of their sleep deprivation, I'd suggest confine that designer pyjama within the four walls of your house.
4. Shredded Jeans - Continuing with the bottoms trend, let's also put those shredded jeans with boyfriend cut back in the trunk. These jeans scream sloppiness. When everyone is jet-setting and opting for power dressing even for informal gatherings, shredded jeans have lost their pull. Let your boyfriend have his cut and you opt for a mini-boot with some nice platforms, what say?
5. No streaks - Enough with the golden streaks in your hair. Or any other shade for that matter. They look like twigs got stuck in your mane. Let's move on to some really nice light pastel shades. Take your inspiration from Kylie Jenner and go for the #GrannyHair. This is another reason people love Mother of dragons Daenerys Targaryen

5. Side Shave - Even Rihanna has given up on it. It's time you ditch it too. Braids are the new in-thing. Get creative!
6. Embellished nails - At first, they are a health hazard. You are a danger to yourself and others when you walk, with those sharp embellishments on your nails. Scratch you nose tip and one wrong placement will leave a scar. Next, THEY ARE SO TACKY! You've got beautiful nails, paint them with brilliant colours or keep them minimal, after a french manicure. It's classy.
7. Bandage Dresses - No more mummification in Herve Leger dresses. Let your body breathe a little. If you must go for fitted dresses, why not try the form fit by Victoria Beckham or Michael Kors. If you want to stick to home ground, Amit Aggarwal is your best chance to get that perfect mix of bandage and quirk. But please stay off it. It's done and I want us to not go back to it for a decade or so. Do you agree?
8. Ill-fitted suits - I have something for men too. I want you guys to get free from the claws of badly fitted suits. Too tight and you look like the Pilsbury dough-boy, too loose and you look like a dorky-prom kid. Fitted suits lend additional panache to your personality. It shows that you know how to take care of yourself. And hey, girls do consider you for the second time if you are groomed. Grooming is not just for us, is it?
9. Indoor glasses - Unless there is a medical reason, you are not allowed to wear sunglasses indoors, they are called SUN-glasses for a reason! Let me break it down for you. You are supposed to wear them when you feel the need to shade your eyes from the Sun. So take them down and have an adult conversation where you look the other person in the eye when they are telling you something. Happy adulting!
10. Leather pants - Big no-no. Nothing good comes of wearing leather pants. Imagine the horror of those pants squeaking right at the time when you want to leave a smooth impression (Pun totally intended!) Biker jackets are fashion classic and let's keep our love for leather simple and restricted to those jackets.
(Ross says it all from this scene in FRIENDS!)
11. Graphic tees - Funny graphic tees are welcome, nerdy/geeky tees are acceptable too. But let's not succumb to Moschino's logo frenzies.
12. Oversized bags - With all your gadgets getting smaller by the day, why would you carry an oversized bag? Going out of the house means you will take some time away, not carry half of it in your bag. Let's move on to boxed Chanel or Louis Vuitton. Chic and classic, you can never go wrong with them.
13. Animal print leggings - one word - overused. Just move on, shall we?
14. Full Boho-skirts - It's a done deal. You do not need to wear those pseudo-ghagras to prove that you are a semi-urban Indian girl with modern values. Let that type be defined by fitted kurtis with skinny jeans (NO JEGGINGS!) and a boho scarf (See, I am not ruling out all things boho!)
15. Don't let others define what you should or should not wear - I know this defeats the purpose of this article. But let me tell you, trends emerge because someone did not follow what everyone expected of them, and when they came up with their idea, people loved it and turned it into a trend. So you never know when that combination of Kurti with a pair of shredded jeans and oversized rose sunglasses you tried because you were too lazy to do the laundry will become the trend of our times. So go by how you feel. Make mistakes and then learn from them. Develop your own style and be free!
