Think you’ve got Mumbai’s fashion all figured out? Think again!

 Fashion in India has managed to undergo a massive evolution in the past century! Earlier, most people held onto the fashion styles that were conservative and reflected Indian traditions. However, the growing western influence over the years seems to have changed this notion. The traditional outfits are now altered and designed to suit modern tastes. For instance, sarees are now being worn with jeans as well as blazers. And Mumbai, the city of dreams, hasn’t been lagging behind in the fashion department. In fact, it has always been at the forefront of India’s fashion game! The city’s influence on fashion is deep-rooted, dating back to the pre-independence era. Khaki, which was a staple in the olden days, is now a universal outfit choice for both the sexes. Latest styles that keep flooding the markets of Mumbai are a mixture of all these olden styles, coupled with modern twists. Mumbaikars are known for having a unique sense of style. They are usually seen stepping out wearing unusual combinations. Their openness to experimenting ensembles straight off the runway expanded the demand for designer outfits and high-fashion brands. Street style evolved as a result of people drifting more and more towards the latest styles. The place to spot street style - Bandra! Often known as the heart of Mumbai.
