“Fashion is part of the daily air and it changes all the time, with all the events. You can even see the approaching of a revolution in clothes. You can see and feel everything in clothes.” —Diana Vreeland.
We chat with Kaito from Nagaland to get some fashion tips for the ongoing cold weather. Not only is his layering game on point, but also his fashion philosophy – which is all about honoring the individual, and making a confident statement through your fashion choices. “I am particularly inclined towards Harajuku fashion and retro vintage styles. I love their appeal of mix-and-match and play with colors. Moreover, Harajuku fashion is a movement against strict societal rules and the pressure to fit the norm.” ~ Kaito from Nagaland.

Share 3 simple tips for effortless winter fashion.
- For winter styles, more is more. So Layering is the basic and best way to keep warm and stay stylish. An overcoat or jacket layered over a turtleneck or a hoodie can really game up winter style.
- Since layering involves many top wears, it’s always smart to go with a monotone-colored outfit.
- And lastly being a Naga, traditional shawls can come to the rescue when you’re looking for something warm and stylish.
