Trend Alert! Jumpsuits

Love them or hate them, jumpsuits are the new fashion obsession. Dark and elegant or casually chic, jumpsuits rock. They've been spotted on several glamazons at red carpet events. Think Jenifer Lopez, Gwyneth Paltrow, Keria Knightley, Fergie and Alicia Keys. And on my side of the ocean, there's Deepika Padhukone, Nina Manuel, Lara Dutta and Shilpa Shetty, to name a few. And they've been blazing down the ramps too, courtesy Stella McCartney, Missoni, Dolce & Gabbana, Diane Von Furstenberg, Chloé and Giorgio Armani.

But this can be a tricky trend to sport, especially if you've got the voluptuous Indian derriere. Then a fabric like linen is a better bet than jersey. And fit has never been more important. If it bags or sags anywhere, or if it's squeezing you tight, then it's not going to work.
