Perhaps the first from Bollywood to try out this new look on our radar, Janhvi Kapoor’s neon iteration from Black-owned label Wesley Harriott stole the show last year. Styled by Mohit Rai, the actress worked her vibrant pick with a crop top and a body-hugging skirt, a versatile outfit to bookmark ASAP for socially-distanced meet-ups and Zoom calls alike (before winter hits in full swing). Don’t forget to add a swipe of that striking lip colour as well!

Keeping It Casual

Towards a more casual note was Disha Patani’s bolero sweater that incorporated a blink-and-miss logo detail on the front and came with a classic crew neck. Teamed with a pair of printed trousers, the actress’s look is best-suited for an outing during the transitional weather. For those who like to opt for chunkier knits, there’s always the alternative of indulging in cable and bobble knits along with other techniques for colder weather. 

Going-out Fit

It’s not just Bollywood celebrities who have the hots for this in-vogue sweater trend. Well ahead of the curve, Kylie Jenner wore hers in a pristine white colour, teamed impeccably with all-black co-ords to make for the ideal going-out look. There’s a reason neutral tones are deemed timeless!

Now that you are in on this ‘IT’ trend, how about making it work for those virtual meets during the in-between weather and winter alike?
