With the chill still lingering, what better way to a make style statement than with warm fabrics and tweeds? In bright colours and experimental styles, the Winter collection from ‘Monte Carlo’ promises to be nothing short of trendy and a comfortable wear.
A dash of finesse
While winter is assumed to be the season when fashion takes a backseat, this collection is here to defy this notion. Intrinsic to the collection is an experimental crossing between styles and sprinkling of colours to keep the customer looking bright all through. With a range that blends class, elegance and trends into varied styles, the collection offers a complete wardrobe.
It has everything, from jackets, sweaters, cardigans, sweatshirts to stoles, shawls,
mufflers and woven tops, which promises a dash of finesse and sophistication to one’s look.
For denim lovers, there is the fashionable winter denims, specially designed to keep one warm.
With a special winter-specific treatment inside the denim, the denim will feel like a
glove.
