Knot it right

• Actors such as Zeenat Aman made this style popular in India in the -70s. It-s definitively a cool-girl look; a subtle twist to everyday dressing that feels fresh without trying too hard. It works with jumpsuits, sweaters and even on sleeves.
• Earlier, if you wanted to show off a toned mid-riff, a knot-front top was the best option. Now, it is about creating a well-defined waist and achieving an hourglass silhouette with a knot. The focus on the knot means that it helps bring attention to the curves of your waist. If you don-t wish to show too much of skin, pair the top with high-waisted bottoms, be it skirt or pants. For a complete -70s look, wear it with flared pants. If you are bold enough to bare, pair a knotted crop top that shows off your mid-riff with a high waisted A-line skirt.
