Lucknow and popular fashion have been quite far apart for ages. Though the Lakhnawi chikan has made its way into the designs of fashion icons like Sabyasachi and Manish Malhotra, the city still lacks international brands and boutique fashion stores that have redefined lifestyles and trends for many in the country. We have Forever 21 and Swarovski, but the city is still bereft of a major chunk of fashion. Let’s look at the major fashion and lifestyle brands we hope the town gets soon!
H&M
We cannot wait to see lifestyle and fashion brands in Lucknow.H&M is a Swedish fashion brand known for its focus on the bohemian and on-trend collection. H&M focuses mainly on providing top-quality garments that are in vogue and are priced at an affordable price tag. From stripes on stripes to the brocade and romantic print galore, there is no trend that H&M misses, and we love them for that. It is also popular with people for its beautiful collection of street styles, such as loose baggy camel chinos and white shirts, stressed denim and drop shoulder tops, crops with quirky prints, and long-warm jackets. We cannot wait to have the option of submerging ourselves into the avant-garde comfort-chic fashion.
Zara
We cannot wait to see Lifestyle and Fashion brands in Lucknow. Zara is probably one of the most coveted fashion brands, especially for the youth. When we think of Zara, we think of high fashion, the runway at a big fashion show. Zara is all about being truly OTT (over the top)! Be it minimalism, with natural fiber cotton shirts, wooden crossbody bags, wood strappy high heels, or party glitz and glam, with strappy dresses, frills, high heels, and bedazzled clutches. Zara does fashion like no other brand. So it is no wonder that the people of Lucknow are waiting with bated breath for Zara to come on over and end our fashion exile.
Sephora
We cannot wait to see Lifestyle and Fashion brands in Lucknow. When we think of makeup, there are not many luxury options in Lucknow. Sure you have the basic MAC and an occasional Clinique or Forrest Essential, but we don’t have many brands that we can actually term “Luxury” apart from that. Regarding makeup, we generally have to depend on online shopping, which isn’t too reliable, to be honest. Having a Sephora in the city becomes much more than I’m; it gets necessary. Seeing, feeling, and testing a product before buying it is beyond comfort. Also, Sephora is known for the many brands it is associated with. Sephora has everything from the coveted Yves Saint Laurent, Giorgio Armani, and Tom Ford to the essential Makeup For Ever, Stila, and Benefit Beauty. And we cannot wait to get our hands on some!
Chumbak
Lifestyle and Fashion brands we cannot wait to see in Lucknow
Chumbak cannot be excluded from the conversation if we talk about the brands we want. The brand is cuteness personified. From little owl-print skirts, ceramic cactus corner pieces, and cutesy t-shirts to strappy bohemian sandals, pastel mugs, and floral-print sofas, you can always depend on Chumbak to raise the cuteness ratio. The brand has made its way into the hearts of every girl, and we just cannot deny that we want to be able to buy some for ourselves.
Nykaa on Trend
Lifestyle and Fashion brands we cannot wait to see in Lucknow
All the ladies can agree that when we speak of makeup, a reliable and affordable brand seems like salvation- Nykaa is that for us. Online makeup and cosmetic brands have acted as the savior for all our makeup and skin care-related woes. Be it an O3 combo, a wet and wild makeup brush set, a plum hand cream, or a L’oreal shampoo, Nykaa has had all the answers. But the convenience of having and going to a physical store is unmatched. The brand recently opened a store in Jaipur and has existing stores in cities such as Mumbai, Noida, Chennai, and Indore. It is high time that we have one in Lucknow.
