Generation C is the buff now. We are the creative generation of the world. Marketers initially called us Generation Y, but they later found out we are much more diverse in our abilities then they reframed it to Gen C. We all look for our identities to be different. The quest to quench our thirst of individuality yet being a part of a group is major contradiction. But, as the adage says Birds of a feather flock together. We do find our interest groups to let ourselves heard and noticed. One such Genre to be notices is Fashion.

Fashion is not just showing off what you wear. Believe me there are people who wear the best designer wears and look as rustic as possible. Fashion is about carrying what you wear; fashion is about making a statement of who you are, what are your likes. Fashion is about your mentality, exposure.

Fashion has evolved through time; the eras have shaped and sized down fashion from the ramps of Paris, Milan, NY, LA, even Karachi. Fashion has now entered the homes of the commoner. It’s no more the dumb blonde’s game but the mastermind at work also dresses up smartly. Yes, the thinkers said “Don’t Judge a book by it’s cover”; well, if you are a reader I am sure you also read the reviews at the back. That was a lame example! Well in Malcolm Gladwell’s Blink He talks about the world behind the closed door of the mind; we all judge things, people, situation etc at the first go. It may be perceived truth, the truth or not the truth. But we all do it. When it comes to looks the term is labeled as “The Warren Harding Error.” That’s when we judge people who are well dressed, handsome, and good looking, Pretty, Sexy whatever adjective you use.

What ever it is, Its Eid so let’s talk about some Fashion which Generation C might think of:

For the Globalized, Fusion is a great idea now. The Short Chinese styled Kurtas (actually Chinese shirts to be said); could be great to be worn with Aligarhi Salwars or even dhoti styles Salwars. If you are short then make it a bit fitting and if tall no worries!

For People who are the casual rockers: wear a khadi material Kurta with your good old Blue jeans. The Khadis are no available in a variety of colors, choose your mood. All will flow.

For the Artistic minds: Wear the brighter shades of the khadi Kurtas; and to show a little bit of our artistic abilities wear a contrasting Churidaar Pyjama with it. Something like Green Kurta is to Black Churidaar; Golden Yellow Kurta is to Brown Churidaar.

For the Smart Casual: The Sherwani style Kurtas is a great option. It comes in austere yet elegant colors- Maroon, Navy Blue, Black, Grey etc. They have a two shaded metamorphic tones, so am sure you ill not look like Abbujaan.

For the Traditional Country Lovers: What else is better than Salwar Kameez- Pick your color and light up Eid.

Create your Fashion! Eid Mubarak
