Mumbai’s winter season is arrived. However, since it can get quite hot throughout the day and cool down significantly in the evening, trying to outfit yourself for the day might be perplexing. Actor Aditi Rao Hydari, however, has figured out how to look good in Mumbai during the winter.
Additionally, this trick can be applied to other cities where the temperature varies throughout the day.
Aditi Rao Hydari was photographed at a Mumbai salon while sporting a cashmere jumper. She was spotted sporting a cute crew neck sweater in navy blue with an embroidered German Shepherd dog on it. The cost of the AQUA sweater is $114 (Rs 10,281).
The way Aditi Rao Hydari designed her ensemble—using a ₹1,399 short skirt from H&M—makes it stand out. She opted for a ruffled little skirt with a checkered pattern rather than jeans or pants, which may grow stuffy during the day in Mumbai.
The star wore merely the Louis Vuitton Keepall Bandoulière 45 Bag (₹2,48,000) and showed off her natural skin for her laid-back day out on the town. To complete her ensemble, Aditi Rao Hydari chose hefty white sneakers.
Here are some tips to keep your cashmere sweater looking brand new:
The delicate goat fibers that give cashmere its opulent smoothness require careful handling. These five suggestions will guarantee that your investment endures for many seasons by preventing pilling, stretching, and fading.
Don’t Overwash and Let It Air Out
Before cleaning, wear your sweater two or three times. Lay it flat in a well-ventilated space out of direct sunlight in between uses. To get rid of dust and fluff fibers, give it a gentle shake or use a soft cashmere brush. Handwash only as necessary, after every four to six wears, as excessive washing weakens fibers.
Hand Wash Carefully and Gently
Put a teaspoon of mild shampoo or wool wash (no fabric softener) in a basin filled with warm water. Immerse the sweater and stir gently for two to three minutes. Use cool water to rinse twice. Reshape flat on a dry towel after pressing, being careful not to wring out any more water between towels. Away from heat sources, let it air dry.
Keep Moth-Free and Flat
Cashmere stretches shoulders, so never hang it. In a drawer or airy cotton bag, fold loosely. To keep moths away, use lavender sachets or cedar blocks. Wash again to get rid of any eggs or hidden oils before storing for a long time.
De-Pill Frequently
At first, pilling is typical. Every week, use a sweater shaver or cashmere comb. Gently comb in a single direction while lying down. To lessen friction wear, rotate several sweaters. If you’re not experienced, stay away from electric razors because they can cause problems.
Spot-Cleaning Stains Right away
Using a gentle cloth, dab stains with a drop of mild soap and cold water. Add cornflour to the grease, let it sit for half an hour, and then brush it off. Dry flat. Chemicals strip natural oils, therefore professional dry cleaning is appropriate for extreme soiling but should be used rarely.
