The Style List

A good store has a way of making you fall in love with things you weren't even looking for in the first place. There’s something about seeing a brand come to life offline that makes the whole experience feel a little more exciting. And over the past couple of months, there have been plenty of new addresses worth adding to your list.

This season, brands are digging into their history and bringing back old designs with a fresh twist, while others are teaming up with artists and musicians to create watches that feel more like art than mere watches. There are watches inspired by football, tributes to jazz legends, hand-embroidered dials, and even graffiti-style designs. Some brands that had almost disappeared are making a comeback, while smaller independent watchmakers are trying bold colours and ideas.

L-R (Sofia Richie Grainge, Sabrina Carpenter, Lily Collins) Love is definitely in the hair. We’ve given bandanas their due this year, but it’s time we looked at some of our other favourites. In 2026, we saw the bang-demic take over, and I too became a victim of the trend. In the process, I rediscovered my love for hair clips.

Today, pop stardom can begin with a 15-second clip that refuses to leave your head. Maybe it is a dance you suddenly find yourself attempting in the kitchen. Maybe it is an outfit that sends you straight to the search bar. Or perhaps you have no idea who an artist is until your entire timeline starts behaving as though you have missed an important cultural memo. Welcome to the wonderfully chaotic world of internet-era pop, where music rarely arrives as just music.

Luxury in a home is often imagined through the big things: a dramatic chandelier, a statement sofa, an important artwork or a perfectly designed room. But for Sravanya Pittie, Founder & CEO of Sokka Tableware, it is the smaller details that ultimately make a space feel special. A beautifully laid table, the glow of candlelight, an unexpected sculptural object or a piece of Indian craftsmanship can often say more about a home than an entire room of expensive furniture.

Every luxury brand has its own codes, design language and protected heritage. But look beyond the storefronts and fashion week runways, and the industry begins to look more interconnected. Many of the world’s most recognisable luxury names sit within a handful of powerful groups, while others remain independent under generations-old family ownership. LVMH: The Biggest Luxury Portfolio LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton, led by Bernard Arnault, has built one of the world’s largest luxury portfolios.

A global guide to the wine bars making us want to book a table — & a flight. “Wine is bottled poetry,” Robert Louis Stevenson once wrote. And perhaps that is why there is something so lovely about sitting down with a glass of wine. The right setting can make a glass of vino hard to forget — the lighting, the music, the people around you, even the table you happen to be sitting at, all have supporting roles.

L: Food Inc. R: Indus Culinary With Rakhi just behind us, the festive season has officially begun — and, as anyone with a wedding invitation calendar will know, shaadi season is not far behind. There is always a checklist when planning an Indian wedding. The venue needs to be booked, outfits need to be fitted, guest lists need to be negotiated and décor references need to be saved.

There is a quiet shift happening in India's nightlife, one that is moving away from crowded nightclubs and towards smaller, more intimate bars. For a decade, a big night out meant going to a nightclub — getting dressed up, making a reservation, finding a table and staying out until the music stopped. That model isn't disappearing.

Rakhi mornings are always a bit chaotic; there's a thali to balance, a car ride to sit through without crushing your dupatta, and cousins you haven't seen in months clicking a hundred photos. Dressing for the festival isn't really about going all out, it's about picking something that can keep up with the day without you having to think about it twice. Here's what's worth wearing, whether you want festive or just comfortably put-together.
