The Half Sari Is Back

Deepika Padukone brings the ethnic half sari back with a fashionable twist.
It seems that Deepika Padukone sets fashion trends in every film she does — from palazzo pants in Cocktail to nerdy glasses in Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani. The latest trend the Bangalore girl has brought back in vogue is the half sari, which she wore in Chennai Express.

Follow the rules:

• You can wear half saris with flats. If you are going for heels, you can wear ethnic wedges.  
• Choose the right accessories. If the half sari is plain, opt for heavy jewellery. If there is too much work, go for a heavy neck-piece or just earrings.  
• If you are going for a plain half sari, opt for contrasting colours rather than matching your skirt, dupatta and your blouse with the same colour. 
• When opting for a designer half sari, make sure at least one element of it stands out. For instance, if you are wearing a plain duppata, make sure the blouse and skirt have heavy work. 
• Keep your hairdo simple. Go for a side braid or a neat bun. 
• The best part about wearing half saris is that you can mix and match your dupatta with any skirt and blouse. 
• So go ahead and try something new. 
• If you want to go completely ethnic and traditional, go for a maang tika and anklets.
• You can convert your half sari into a lehenga by just wrapping the dupatta in a different manner.  
• For a sexy look, wear a well-fitted blouse and drape your dupatta in such a way that it partially covers your bust.  
• If you want to cover your flabby arms, go for a full-sleeved blouse. But make sure you use full-sleeved blouses only for net or cotton materials.

Comfortable Clothing Tips For Road Trips

Comfortable clothes for road trips will allow you to sit in the tight car environment and make it an enjoyable experience. It is best to dress in layers of comfortable clothes, when on a road trip. These are the road trip tips on comfortable clothing essentials.

• Sweat Pants: Sweat pants are the ultimate lounging gear. They are usually the go-to article of comfortable clothing when you want to veg out in front of the television and work equally as well for sitting through a long road trip.
  
• Cotton T-Shirt: Comfortable clothes for road trips wouldn't be complete without a cotton t-shirt. Cotton t-shirts are extremely breathable and will help keep you from feeling claustrophobic. A looser t-shirt is better than a tight one, so you don't feel constrained by your clothing.
  
• Light Jacket : As far as comfortable clothes for road trips go, a lightweight jacket has many functions. This comfortable clothing item allows you to add another layer clothing when you are too cold. A jacket can also be taken off with ease, when the car becomes too warm. A jacket can also be used to cover your legs for warmth. You will be grateful for a jacket, if you end up having to walk in the rain. 
  
• Flip Flops: No comfortable clothing for road trips list could be complete without mentioning flip-flops. Flip flops are the ultimate comfortable clothes in footwear. There is something about having your feet stuck in the floorboard, for hours, that make your shoes seem to expand two sizes. This doesn't seem to happen, when you wear sandals. Flip-flops also let your feet breathe and increase the charge of freedom you get from being on the road.
  
• Sunglasses: Sunglasses are also multi-functional, when it comes to comfortable clothes for road trips. Their obvious use is to keep the sun out of the eyes of the driver and passengers.
