Mohawk rocks!

There is a funny competition amongst the fuchchas in setting up new trends, as the colleges open for a new season. You thought a cool dress and boots will make you a head-turner? Sometimes, its just hair which will make you a rocking dude!

So stop believing that a good hair cut is about- Length, Cut and Comfort. Sometimes one must dare to experiment by flaunting rebellious hair styles. Latest in hairstyling is Mohawk! It was sported by Amir Khan in Taare Zameen Par and even in a song (Behka) in Gajini.

As Mohawk came from punk subculture, so hair colors play an important part- use it either as hair highlighter or just cover one section or go for complete hair do. You can opt for single or combinations of colors and choose from vibrant colors like orange, blue, pink, purple and green to neon shades which will make you stand out of the crowd.

 Mohawk means, a hairstyle in which hairs are shaved from both the sides with just vertical hair line in the middle. But Fauxhawk or faux-hawk is getting more popular as you don’t have to shade side hair and but they are just layered and noticeable spike is made in center. color mohawk and pic by ophiah

So whatever version you are going to sport, be careful before mohawking. You need to look for your hair texture when it comes to the length. As fine hair needs added bounce so you will have to try and keep the hairstyle as short and full of layers as possible, in order to add more volume to it. Also be regular with shaving and trimming to maintain it. If going for bi or tri hawks be careful with the shaven and unshaven portions.

Campus cool!

Colleges are opened and so called social interaction aka ragging phase is almost over. It’s the time to show your coolness factor.

Footwear-  Guys have figured out that being experimental with their footwear will take them higher. That’s how after red sneakers, orange, yellow colors are also getting hit. U can team up with your T-shirt or for extra punch, paint some graffiti on them.

Girls doesn’t need to get high on heels, flats are still in. Just try freaky fluorescent straps. Bellies in different styles also look fabulous when you team well with your dress; like coordinating the color with belt and accessories. Incase, you feel very short or bored with flats and want to do some tip-toe, keep a pair of stilletos and platforms. But brown and black chappals are completely no-no. Try bold colors only.

Bottoms- shorts are in! Jeans are out. Girls please throw your capris, only hot pants will do the trick. In case you are shy and don’t have sexy legs can wear knee length shorts and skirts. Harem pants are also in from traditional block prints to plain in colors.

Pattern- After polka dots which are can be dotted anywhere from big tote to long tops to earrings, its checks print that is making statement from shorts, shirts, skirts to bags. Even if it gives school boy feel, wear it for cool & fresh look. Don’t forget, Katrina’s checked shorts in recently launched film ‘Newyork’.

Tops- Bright colors like purple, green, yellow are creating cool waves. With so many t-shirt website like bluebustee etc giving cool offer and cool message on tee, wearing mind on sleeve is also an in thing. In fact wear it for a cause, like supporting LGBTI. Either it is a well-fitted tee or a balloon tops, team it up with shorts or lycra legging.

Accessories- Wearing the big plastic necklaces and earrings is fading. Wear something different like jewelry made of paper, shells or clay. Blue pottery jewelry is also something in trends. Wearing a belt in colors will add special statement. So, an extra oomph factor will be there if you carry an umbrella in a bright color either to protect you from heat or un-sudden monsoon.
Bigger the better is best for you so tote with polka dots, checks prints or some message are cool to carry around the campus.

Guys are getting more conscious about adding jinx with their accessories made of steel or wooden beads or just a bolder, rounded shade will do the trick. Again, say no to browns & blacks; tints of purple, blue and yellow are high for your eyes.
