Putting It Together: What It Means for Your Wardrobe
Don’t feel you have to adopt all trends at once. Choose 1-2 that resonate.
Mix timeless basics with one trend piece (e.g., neutral trousers + bold animal print top).
Prioritise sustainability if possible — long-term wear > fast fleeting trends.
Accessories and small details are an easier entry into a trend.
Tailor trends to your climate, lifestyle, and personal comfort. What works in Dhaka might differ in terms of material/thickness.
