Sizzle at the IPL!!!

As the semi finals are approaching, all you girls out there would be gearing up to look your best at IPL. I thought and thought and thought that what kind of an appearance would stand out amongst the crowd. And i conclude that the first rule is to be comfortable and then look stylish, since comfort is directly proportional to style.

Work with dresses: A knee length cotton with floral print or light embroidered linen dress would look comfortably elegant. Choose the colour of the season like pink, beige, yellow, white or blue. Keep it strappy, sleeveless or cap sleeved. Pair it up with Roman tie ups or flaunt those pumps if you can carry them off for a good 4- 5 hours. Accessories like oxidized bangles and big earrings would suit best for the season, place and occasion. Keep it less as it's going to be too hot to add too many chunky pieces of jewelry. Carry a suede leather or a jute bag to keep it convenient as you might need to stuff in some necessities. Add a straw hat to look even more stylish.

Leggings: Team up a long shirt, a short kurta or a top with lot of drapes with a pair of leggings. Again stick to the colours of the season. Put on ballet shoes or sequinned chappals and carry a colourful printed bag. Accessorize your clothes by adding a long chain or a pearl necklace along with a fancy watch. A polo cap would look fab with this combination.

Show off those legs: Personally i am a big fan of shorts and knee pants, they are so comfortable and stylish at the same time. Its time you sport that Indo-Western look with Cotton shorts and ethinc kolhapuri chappals. A simple tee will complete your outfit. Even better, wear linen knee pants with a T back and a contrast coloured shrug over it. Carry a sling bag and coordinate it with funky slippers, try and keep the colours same. Why not exhibit some chunky bangles or beads and cover your head with a bandana or a polo cap.

It's time you get ready to cheer your favourite team at the IPL semi finals.

Sure, i agree to the sporty bit.. but not everyone would be sold out to the idea of wearing short pants, there might be someone who would want to wear a dress and feel equally comfortable...
