A star like Rihanna is one of the most influential people in the fashion world! Whether it’s her bold appearance on stage and videos or the ‘girl next door’ image in causal events; Rihanna has carved a niche for herself. Skinny jeans and a loose top styled with a classy leather jacket and chunky accessories make an ample statement when worn by Rihanna. According to us at Yepme.com, she has a unique way of blending basic components with highly fashionable elements to create her own look. On many occasions you can see her with a basic shirt paired with a high waist skirt and coupled with an animal print clutch to complete the hi-fashion look. An inspiring young artiste, Rihanna is looked upon by many young girls as someone who is not afraid to speak her mind and that stance permeates in her clothing as well.

In the world of fashion, it is Cobain that brought about the effortless grunge look to mainstream. It was easy to follow and was cohesive with the ‘follow your heart’ vibe that the generation lived with. Till date, Kurt Cobain’s dishevelled shoulder length hair and oversized shirts are something that young rock fans relate to. Infact you can see many young musicians follow a similar style which spells independence! The other thing that took the world by storm was Kurt Cobain’s love for torn jeans. The style was accepted rapidly around the world as a basic step to obtain a ‘grunge’ look. This King of punk rock will always be remembered for a distinct look for an MTV unplugged performance where he wore cardigan sweater, something that the fashion police would have otherwise snubbed. Whether or not Kurt Cobain’s music appealed to you, his fashion quotient certainly would be hard to ignore.

We at Yepme.com feel that the fashion in the movie is trendy, casual and urban, and also realistic and relatable to everyday life. Siddharth looks lean and fit as a college student and sports t-shirts, jeans and checked shirts. The look is strictly casual and realistic college wear without going over-the-top even in the songs. The overall theme for Sid’s wardrobe seems to be vibrantly patterned cotton checked shirts.

We should talk in detail about these full sleeved checked shirts that Sid sports with the sleeves rolled up in colourful combinations like purple & white, red & white, black & red, red & blue, blue & white and of course black & white which especially looks great on him. Sid’s nicely fitting dark jeans suits his college-boy look and complement both the casual shirts and T-shirts that he wears. The plain blue full sleeved casual shirt and the blue casual shirt with the double pockets and yellow trim on the collar and sleeves also look very trendy.

Amala’s kurti & jeans combinations and simple salwar kurtas work very well for her. The slim tapered jeans complement her slender figure. She looks adorable in her French braid and long bangs too. All in all the lead pair looks nice together, and the chemistry between them, comes out really great in the film.

In this movie, Prateik is an embodiment of ‘cool’ in his fashion statement, and portrays a young graduate trying to make a career in the world of cinema. He mostly wears T-shirts, jeans with sneakers and casual shirts and pants. But though he plays a regular guy, he has a striking screen presence in these cool casual clothes. According to us at Yepme.com, the clothes worn by Prateik are very believable, contemporary and hip; and even in the songs there are no over the top glamourizing. His unassuming fashion sense coupled with a fit physique also makes the clothes look modern and youth-oriented. The casual wardrobe also reflects the emerging preferences of the new generation in the country and so gives the actor a spontaneous and natural character.

The Saris and Salwar Kameez worn by Amy Jackson in her screen time highlight the gracefulness of the traditional Indian clothes, even on foreigners. Overall, the fashion styles of the actors are very well suited to the simple romantic storyline of the movie.

But a few variations to your look can be done depending on the hangout spot for the evening. If you are going out with your friends to your usual watering hole, keep it simple with a bold print tee and washed jeans; or a casual linen shirt or denim or turtle neck shirt with faded denims. You have the option of linen pants or casual khakis with a non formal shirt as well. Choose the colours according to the time of the day. Darker the hours, darker the clothing – you cannot go wrong with this mantra.

But if you are spending the evening with friends in a cosy restaurant for dinner, ensure that you dress sharp enough to stand out amongst the crowd. A solid colour turtle neck shirt paired with vintage wash denim along with dark tan brown casual shoes can bring out a great look. The idea is to look relaxed and comfortable with your choice of clothes in order to stand out. So go ahead and be the rebel in celebrating your singledom in a bold, classy way. Let the heads turn because of your own style quotient.

For an Outdoor Picnic

If the day is going to spell good weather, this might be a great idea. Take on the responsibility of finding everything the location has to offer, and arrive in your best casuals.  Linen pants, a casual half sleeve shirt and easy slip-ons are enough to give you a great laid-back outdoorsy look. Else, go with the bold tee and jeans. The jeans could be as casual as damaged or faded to give that rustic look.

Clubbing on Valentine’s Day

Many youngsters choose to spend the Valentine’s Day evening with their loved ones, enjoying club music and dancing. In this case you will have to spruce up your look. Non pleated formal pants in dark grey or black with a magenta or green stripes party shirt can look dashing. The other attractive colours of the season are red, blue and purple. Good accessories and footwear will again add to your look. So go for a fine leather belt, colour co-ordinated with shoes.

At Home Candlelit Dinner

Lot of young couples celebrate Valentine’s Day in the exclusivity of their home with a home cooked dinner, but you should play your part in making the evening memorable. Dress yourself in a neat block check shirt (black, white and red is a cool combination) and pair it with casual blue or black jeans. Comfortable dressing like these can help you chill-out and relax to suit the part for this most romantic day in the calendar.

Formal Dining on Valentine’s Day

If you have gone ahead and booked that posh restaurant and also know that she is dressing for the night; you must compliment her effort by your own sense of style. In the formal dressing segment, here’s what one can do. A formal white or black Vince collared full sleeve shirt and for those who are a little more adventurous, pin stripes contrast on shirts. Go for flat and block coloured formal trousers as these emulate a classic style. Classy belts and shoes can say a lot about a man, so keep them colour coordinated in exact shades to make your entire look come alive.

Casual Dining on Valentine’s Day

If you are the kind of couple preferring the familiarity of a neighbourhood restaurant; blend in yet stand out at your casual hang-out place. Depending on the kind of place it is, bring out that bold print tee or the crew neck. If the place demands a little more dressing up; a good linen shirt or checks will be suitable for the evening. A well fitted pair of vintage-wash authentic denim is great to match these shirts.  Carpet shoes are also good for the occasion as they spell comfort and style in one breath!

We at Yepme.com feel that the fashion in this movie is fresh, and understandably follows a mostly western style. A clean shaven Imran sports the well groomed look. We get to see him in well fitted formal business attire, i.e. neat crisp white shirts, skinny black tie, and classic black suit with oxfords. In other scenes we see him in smart casuals; i.e. white shirt teamed with grey dress pants, military green v neck sweater and a light camel suede blazer, and also in olive green shirt layered with black sweater and grey trouser and a grey blazer. For formal evening wear, there’s a classic black tuxedo with white shirt and maroon bow tie and in the song sequence Aunty Ji, it’s a black blazer jacket worn over a black shirt. The at home attire are  mostly casual track pants worn with shot sleeved  round or v neck tees, single colored or in stripes, in dark green, grey, light violet and once also in a blue shirt with grey stripes .

Kareena looks gorgeous in a short blue dress for the song Aunty Ji and for most of the movie she wears trendy short or long sleeved tees, and layers it with colorful sweaters and neck scarves, almost always teamed with skirts and jeans.

According to us at Yepme.com, Bob Marley’s bohemian look is still considered to be cool; the same way it was adopted readily and eagerly in the previous decades. Psychedelic colours on clothes, braided hair and vintage looks have stood their ground stronger than the regular fashion statements. Till date you can see his influence on youth fashion with the red-yellow-green-black  colour combination, used heavily on garments and the dreadlocks adopted by the more adventurous followers. These colours originally were the primary colours of Rastafari movement, to which Marley belonged. Bob Marley permeating the hearts of people across the world with his music unintentionally made this colour combination a rage. Bob Marley will not only be a colossal music influence to the youth but also remain the king of ‘Boho’ in the fashion world, giving many a choice of creating their own style rather than follow customary fashion statements.
