When in doubt, ask Prashh- Casual Monsoon wear for men.

Yes you heard it right. If you are in doubt then ask me. I might not look like a normal outfit wearing person but trust me I can help you pick out your outfit or maybe do your wardrobe. I know a little I guess (wink). 

Lot of my guy friends and sometimes girl friends as well ask my advice on what to wear in different seasons or occasions and I try to help them in the best way possible. Currently Bangalore weather is really unpredictable (or what I like to call F****d up) and it's getting annoying because just when you think it's time to take your sunglasses out,wear a tank top and put on those fancy summer shoes you bought, it starts to rain and it gets freaking cold. I myself sometimes find myself in a dilemma. 

Trying to keep your favorite outfits safe by not wearing them in the rain is only fair. I do that all the time but then how do you still keep your style intact? That's the question rite? Well first of all if you have style in you then clothes do not matter much (you know what I mean).

So thinking of the same I decided to write a post on monsoon wear for men. Keep your style intact. For those who are struggling with your wardrobe, there are few tips which might or might not help you. 

1. Printed shorts- It's time to invest in what is trending rite now and printed shorts are in trend rite now. Do not be a pussy just be a confident man and just f*****g wear it. It is a great style statement and shows that you are fashion forward. You could wear in the day or at night depends on your choice. 
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
2. Bold colored shorts- Do not be boring, get over your denim or gaberdine shorts already. Stores are flooded with colorful shorts for men. Pick out few and try it on. Your not gonna lose anything, if anything then it will be only losing your bad sense of style which is a good thing so lose it. 
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
3. Polo neck T-shirts: Mostly when you wear shorts then it is advisable to wear polo neck t-shirts but there is no hard and fast rule. Pair your printed shorts with plain polo neck t-shirt to bring out the formal man's flair in you. Remember, do not mix prints with prints unless you are trying to make a strong fashion statement and are very sure of what you are doing. 
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
4. Printed T-shirts: This is when you wear your bold colored shorts. To take the look a notch higher by wearing printed t-shirts. Again, stores of full of printed t-shirts. You just need to know what looks good on you. (Trail rooms are there to help you out with that). 
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
5. Semi formal printed shirts- You could also wear semi formal printed half sleeve shirts with your shorts. It makes a classic style statement is uber cool. 
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
6. Foot wear: Most people think that wearing sandals or flipflops are the best option but if you ask me I would say "NO". They are the worst foot wears for rain. I hate getting my feet dirty. The mud and filthy water grosses me out. Therefore the best foot wear to try on this season are -ankle rain boots, sneakers, rain sneakers, rubber over shoes and of course rubber loafers. 
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
7. Hooded Jumper- This is for times when you forget your umbrella at home and it starts to rain. Hooded jumper will not only keep your warm, it will also partially protect you from rain till you reach your car or a place to hide. Lot of stylish jumpers are available in the market these days, there are pull overs and zippers too. Choose the best according to your choice. 
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
8. Handbag- I personally cannot survive without my hand bag. It's like a part of me that goes everywhere I go. Gone are the days when only women used to carry handbags. Google and see it for yourself how men are sporting handbags. It's seriously the next best thing. You need something to keep your jumper in rite? Your umbrella, sunglasses, your wallet, tablet, water bottle, business card, tissue papers, mints and well..... condoms if you have an active sex life ...sighhhhh. 
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   

So ask me more if you'd like.

Fashion gone wrong- Bangalore Fashion Week 11th Edition 2014.

Before I go on, let me start by thanking Myntra.com and Media Moments for inviting me to the 11th edition of Bangalore Fashion Week. It was a pleasure attending it. 

Here is the funniest bit of the fashion week. I asked couple of New so called hashf*****gtag designers- What Haute Couture means? and the answers were rather disappointing. So apparently Haute Couture means-

• Special Fashion (yikes)
• Out there Fashion (wonder what that means?) 
• Fashion for boys (Lord please kill me)
• It's just a big show (hmmm alrite) 
• I do not know, I am a designer but please do not ask me such questions (sad face).

Seriously who let you graduate from Fashion School?

Although "Miss Malini" who is the number one fashion blogger of India (so they say) does know her shit. Careful y'all coz she is not someone you can easily notice (you know what I mean) -WINK. Yeah so she was the only one who could actually define Haute Couture. Atta Gurl! 

Sighhhhh....new born designers. I have not enough words to express my grief. Even if for a moment I forget about Haute Couture being a Chinese expression for you, I cannot get past the fact how some of you wore the most horrible outfits and called it a couture. Cheap fabric, bad styling, and attitude touching the ceiling of the hotel. Pfffffff.....  Dear God I am starting to believe that you sent me in this world for a reason!  Hey listen, you can go and hire all the show stoppers of the world to walk for your first show but if your clothes show imperfection then you can be rest assured of shuving your collection up your own ass. 

Hey wait. Do not get me wrong. I do have some of my favorites from the shows that I watched live this season and I think they are awesome. Like- Alpa and Reena, Amita Gupta, Archana Kochhar, Ashima and Leena, Aslam Khan, Babitha Jain, Debarun Mukherjee, Kalanjali, Mandeep Litt, Pria Kataaria Puri, Ramesh Dembla, Dressberry by Myntra and Roadster by Myntra. These designers did a great job at designing and showcasing their collections. Unfortunately I did not get to watch all the shows as I had prior engagements. 

Now lets forget about the what was on the runway, lets talk about what I saw off the runway. I saw girls wearing-

1. Short skirts and flipflop looking sandals (you don't do it unless your Rihanna) I mean who wears that to a fashion event? Don't you already get enough of it in your day today life? Don't you wanna feel fancy at an event where half the people are pretentious? 
2. Large women wearing body hugging clothes. ( What are you trying to show? Your curves? Where are they? coz I don't see nothin) Honey those love handles sounds pretty but it ain't pretty to look at.
3. Tiny women wearing big shoes. (Get a grip. You want to look all sexy wearing your shoes that are bigger than your damn feet?)
4. Women with bad makeup or what I like to call two toned girls. Face and neck grey and rest of the body brown. Embrace your colors ladies. Shahnaz Husain fairness cream advertisement is a butt load of crap! 

and the list goes on......... and do not even ask about our Indian Gentlemen. I sometimes do not understand what goes on in their head! 

and now Ladies and Gentlemen and those who are still deciding on their gender....here comes all my 4 different outfits for the 4 days event at the 4 seasons. This time I really managed to look like a runAWAY from a Looni Bin.  

It was a four day event and I chose four different looks.
