Recently I realized the crazed for this Jodhpur pants among the crowd. Where ever I go out with my friends they have been hankering for it. Where did they come from? Does anybody even know that? Sorry, but I had no clue before I wrote this post. Means I just found out about it.

The history of jodhpurs is tied up with the history of the game of Polo. Polo was played more than 2500 years ago throughout Persia and Central Asia. The game had different names like Chaugan and Bushkazi and often didn’t use a ball, but the players were always on horseback. The game came down into India along with various Islamic invasions and was played particularly in the Northern area, which is now Rajasthan

It was in 1890 Maharaja Pratap Singh of Jodhpur started wearing riding breeches tailored for the game. These were cut in a wing-shape and had leather patches between the knees. With time people appreciated the comfort of these pants and it became as the staple dress for the polo players. So the trend started from the men and soon by 1920s women adopted the same by showing their interest in playing polo. Thus the jodhpuri pants were discovered.

Today they are worn traditionally with sherwani or even as trousers for a more modernized look. It can be even clubbed with hunting shirts, short shirts, Jodhpur coat or Nehru jacket. These pants have their own royalty when worn and will continue to be in trend this season.

I love the look of fishtail braids! This trend is incredibly easy to style, even on your own hair. Its looks cute but you need to have patience…we will show you step by step easy way to try out.

Step 1:
Comb your hair, remove the tangles and make it straight. Now divide your hair into two large sections, straight down at the middle of your hair.

STEP 2:
Start the fishtail braid by holding the right section with your right hand. Then, using your left hand, pick up a small chunk of hair from the outside of the left section and cross it over to the inside of the right section.

STEP 3:
Repeat on the other side: Hold the left section in your left hand. Use your right hand to pick up a small chunk of hair from the outer right section and cross it over to the inside of the left section.

Step 4:

Keep repeating the steps until you reach the end of your hair. Finish your fishtail braid off by tying your hair with elastic.

Want to go creative:

If you want to be more creative we can add weave pieces of yarn into the braid. Its looks really cute after the braid are ready.
What we need to do is follow the 3 steps.
1. Tie yarn to one layer of hair at the root. We teased the roots a little bit to help the yarn stay.
2. 2. Braid the pieces in with the same technique as seen above. Be sure to vary the colors of yarn.
3. 3. Trim pieces of yarn and tie off with yarn.

Brenda Diana Duff Frazier (June 9, 1921 – May 3, 1982) was an American debutante popular  during the Depression era. Her December 1938 coming-out party was so heavily publicized worldwide she eventually appeared on the cover of Life magazine for that reason alone. She had invented the famous “white-face” look. Powdered skin made a startling contrast to her very red painted lips combined with dark, dark hair, perfectly coiffed. Brenda often developed a stiff neck, as she feared moving her head lest a hair fall out of place. She sported strapless gowns and made a sensation with that trend as well. During the year of her debut Brenda was at the beck and call of press agents worldwide. She was most often written about by columnist Walter Winchell. As so many in Society lost their fortunes during the Depression, lineage was no longer the sole common denominator. “Publi-ciety”—a combination of money, social standing and news coverage also entered the Winchell lexicon. And then there were the “Glamour Girls”. In 1938 Brenda Frazier was dubbed Glamour Girl #1. Frazier retreated from the outside world and practically became a hermit. Still not forgotten, however, she was mentioned in the Stephen Sondheim song, “I’m Still Here” (from Follies) while living in relative obscurity until her death from bone cancer in Boston, Massachusetts, aged 60.
