There are trends which amaze and then there are trends which amuse. Between the two are some we'd actually like to experiment with

We scoured months of our celeb notes to dig out unconventional style ideas celebrities flaunted this year and we fell in love with. Be it clothes or accessories, some of these fixes — practical, quick, easy to execute and fabulous to look at — caught our fancy. Here's our pick of the six trends we'd definitely like to see more of in the year to come.

Layering accessories
Deepika Padukone oozed heaps of wow factor with her girlie statements in Cocktail. Her stylist in the film scored points with the many interesting trends she experimented with for Dippy, including layering accessories (even cute little hair clips)! Throughout the movie, Deepika was spotted wearing multiple layers of bangles and wristbands, which we absolutely heart. So what if you can't layer your clothes in winters like your Delhi friends? You can do so with your accessories in style.

Peplum
A Mumbai-based designer revealed to us once that peplums are the perfect style partners for curvy Indian women, especially those with a bit of paunch. Every red carpet since, we've seen some actress or the other flaunting a peplum. Right now, we are thinking of splurging our next month's salary on buying a few peplum dresses and we blame it on Bipasha Basu, who's been wearing it so well!

Cashmere bow tie
When a Delhi-based designer tweeted about cashmere bow ties being a winter must-have, he was simply articulating what dapper men across the world are flaunting — a winter accessory-turned-winning-style statement.

Stiletto nails
If conventional is not your style and perfectly manicured hands spell boring for you, this nail trend, made famous by Lady Gaga and Rihanna, is your way to say goodbye to white tips. Named so for its resemblance to pointy heels, the trend can make your nails look as catty as the women who've become their unofficial brand ambassadors. But, what the heck — experimenting is fun, especially when it doesn't lead to a big hole in your pocket.

Statement pants and pajants
If we could, we would have given the word Pajants its own Wikipedia page! A combination of the formal pants and the casual pyjamas, this new outfit made its way from the catwalk to the streets at the speed of light. For good reason — looking chic in your pyjamas is no longer as tedious as it was a year ago! But, if casual chic is not your style, you can walk on the other side and flaunt statement pants, especially those with bold prints. Graphic and baroque prints are a good bet, if you want your pants to do the talking!

Cut-out dresses
Miley Cyrus first made us give her a virtual hi-five when she chopped her tresses earlier this year for a new pixie haircut. Ever since, she's had us applause almost every single public appearance of hers, including one at a recent award ceremony, where she wore a slinky black cut-out dress. As cut-out tops and dresses find favour with many high-street brands, we are also thinking of bringing our inner Miley out for a while.
