This fall, look for pieces that combine unexpected colours in bold shapes for a new take on this dynamic season.

The hemline pronounces an easy shift between ankle length and mid thigh length paired with a coat whose length is in near competition with your dress. Waist line is definitely much above the original waistline and no trespassing has been noticed so far and so forth, the easily noticeable power laden stand-alone collars and extra padded outwardly protruding shoulders joins the front.

Lacing detail catches the thoroughfare with Nitin Bal Chauhan’s over exceptional black jumpsuit held together from falling apart by fabric cords and velvet piping.

Formalwear has a comparatively more relaxed silhouette but still not messing up with the orthodox pencil skirts, white satin shirts and thin belts.
