The government was firm that it will not roll back the three farm laws. Farmers’ unions were rigid that they won’t settle for anything short of com- plete scrapping of the laws. Farmers’ mood was reflected in the placards with “Yes or No” written on them, they showed at the meeting. The government is ready for minor amendments but not for the repeal of the laws. After the logjam, it was decided that the sixth round of talks will be held on Wednesday, December 9. At the end of over seven hours of talks on December 3, it appeared that convergence had been reached on some of the points. The government had then shown some flexibility and seemed agreeable to strengthening the APMC Act, permitting trade outside the man- dis by registered traders and intervention by civil courts for redressal of grievances.

The Floralook City First brings you the glimpse of the trend, that just won’t end!

KARISHMA GWALANI [email protected]

hether you’re looking to make a splash or just to update your current style, there’s no reason why you should leave that floral dress on the W rack. Floral prints are no longer as- sociated with just the summer sea- son, many fashion designers and celebrities have embraced bold florals as new statement pattern in several different clothes and accessories all the seasons, making it all the easier for you to get a little flowery. From big, bursting blooms and smaller, daintier prints to three-dimensional details, it’s clear that there are many ways to incorporate flowers into clothing and accessories. Floral prints are very feminine. However, they are tricky to style. City First shares a few Dos and Don’ts of floral print attire to achieve an ageless look. PLAY WITH ACCESSORIES New to the flower scene? Start small with some floral accessories. A flash of a flowery sock or a bloom-embossed belt is an easy way to try the look. When it comes to evening wear, up your flower power with a glamorous floral necklace, or pair of earrings. LESS IS MORE Keeping the overall look balanced is key. When you wear something floral; in particu- lar a one-piece such as a dress, romper, or jumpsuit, you got your flare covered. AVOID OVERSIZED GARMENTS Do not to wear oversized lose clothing in flo- ral prints. It will translate as frumpy and add at least 10 pounds to your frame. BOLD SHADES You can mix bold and acid shared with any neutrals to soften them, or draw all the at- tention on you by mixing them with other colors just as noticeable. Blue is always a good pairing as flower prints are rarely blue. PLACED PATTERN These kind of design is positioned on a certain area of the cloth instead of repeating itself on it. Usually those are big prints and the flowers are very noticeable. Make sure the print is re- spected when you dress (avoid tucking it half way or folding it). GRAPHIC There are the floral print designed in a non natural way and placed rather geometrically. Generally, great for those who have a thing for structured looks. This type of print is per- fect on simple fabric, on cute shirts, short dresses, sweaters, etc. Sponsored by First India News International Pvt. Ltd.
