#Perspective / How clothing can hurt our children

As parents or guardians of new-borns to 14-year-olds, it is our partial responsibility to ensure their safety and well-being. One aspect that often goes unnoticed is the clothes we choose to buy for them. While outside or local clothing options may seem convenient, they can pose certain dangers which are hardly taken seriously.

ARKA Fashion Week 2023: Celebrating the vibrant spirit of Bangladeshi fashion

ARKA Fashion Week 2023 is captivating fashion enthusiasts and industry insiders alike. The three-day extravaganza is taking place from 26 to 28 October at Aloki Convention Center, 211 Tejgaon Link Road, from 11 AM to 10 PM.

Vibrant colours of Puja celebrations

What truly sets this season apart are the beautiful hues that imbue our lives with happiness and joy. To begin with, there’s the eternal white, pristine and pure, in a league of its own. This hue, or lack thereof, symbolises all that’s good and sacred.

Is carbon offsetting a good climate solution?

While carbon offsetting has gained momentum and support, it is not without its share of critics.

Afraid of being that generic guy? Style your vests right and stand out!

Vests can effortlessly elevate your style game, whether you are going for a traditional ethnic look with kurtas or a more contemporary vibe with shirts and pants.

From tradition to trend: The evolution of katan

A piece of nostalgia, a part of cultural heritage, or an heirloom passed on through generations; the deep-seated love Bengali women have for katan sari is truly unparalleled. Be it the old-school romanticism that comes with being a red katan bride or the unapologetic boldness of the bright colour contrast that makes you stand out in a crowd, katan is always among our top choices for any occasion.

Barbiecore for Bengali beauties

Wherever your eyes rest these days, chances are there’s a profusion of all things Barbie — pink, pink and some more glitter! Barbiecore, an aesthetic where one embraces pink in all its glory, especially the shades largely associated with the most famous doll ever created, Barbie. Don’t mistakenly consider this as your daughter’s obsession with Barbie accoutrements.

What to wear to the beach?

While this is not something we tend to fuss much about, the wrong beachwear can single-handedly invite a series of disasters quickly turning our relaxing trip into a stressful one. Imagine going for a dip in the cool waters on a hot day, but you are wearing a pair of jeans. Not only will you get none of that coolness you expected, but the fabric will soak up salt water like a sponge leaving you feeling utterly uncomfortable. The opposite is of course an outfit that combines comfort, fashion, and the essence of the ocean.

How to style your work outfit

Do you ever stand in front of your wardrobe and scratch your head, unsure of what proper work attire to wear to the office? It might seem like most of your choices will lead you to disregard your comfort. But fear not! Nowadays, you can seem professional without sacrificing comfort in the workplace. The popularity of comfort fashion may be attributed to their ability to improve our mood, self-confidence, and overall state of mind.

Celebrating the elegance of women

In a world where everything is not as they appear and easily replaceable, a graceful woman is as genuine and irreplaceable as time itself and serves as a reminder of the power of subtlety and allure.
