I am not a very fashion-savvy person and usually pick comfort over style on most days, so when I had to pack for my recent trip to Switzerland, I was at a loss on how to pair the right clothes with the right accessories, and will all of that really come together to help create perfect outfits that made complete sense in terms of comfort but also looked stylish enough to make me look good in the photos.
I dove into an AI and e-commerce rabbit hole for a few hours and I realised it’s about finding the right pairings that work in a mix and match layering style of dressing. Equipped with a brief outline of what kind of clothes I would be carrying I started to doom scroll on Myntra. Searching. Adding to cart. Moving to wishlist. Deleting from wishlist. Back to searching and then I came across the brand Theater. Homegrown label so it checked that big box for me and the options and styles were so many and so good looking that I settled down for a shopping haul from just that brand. We are here to discuss that one accessory that changed my fashion game. The leg warmers. I liked how they looked, but what really worked for me was how easily they fitted into my winter wardrobe. They were comfortable over my thermals, didn’t need much styling and added just the right amount of interest to otherwise simple outfits. Pulled up to the knees: I wore them at their full length, covering my knees. This was probably my favourite way to style them with thermal trousers and sneakers. For me, absolutely. I bought them quite randomly, hoping they would work with my winter outfits, and they ended up being one of my favourite purchases for Switzerland. I wore them three times during the trip and received compliments from almost everyone I travelled with from India. What I didn’t expect was getting compliments from women in Switzerland, too. A few even commented on how lovely they looked, particularly at hotel receptions in Geneva.
But today I am not here to discuss everything I shopped for.
