Fashion resolutions for this new year party in India

The New Year brings with it a whole new set of fashion rules. Something that was trending last year might not be the flavour of the season anymore. This year, too, will focus on certain things more than others. For example, while last year championed the cause of indigenous textiles in a big way, fuss-free clothing and comfortable silhouettes seem to be the sartorial preferences this year.
