Cats Eye's winter ensemble

Indeed, winter is a season dedicated to fashion, giving men and women ample opportunity to flaunt their style. 

That being a constant, trends change every year. Fashion gurus will tell you, last winter was all about bright, eccentric and absurd colours like electric blue and mustard. This year, on the other hand, it is more about earthy tones. 

"Trends come in full circle," Rummaella Siddiqui, director/designer, Cats Eye, said when pointing out how earthy colours are in vogue this year. "It starts from somewhere and then it often eventually returns to that point and then it continues its journey again." 

For this season Cats Eye has an impressive collection of jackets, most of which are cotton-based. "Owing to the fact that winter in our country does not come with extreme conditions - like in many other countries - the jackets are not very heavy," informed Sadiq Quddus, director/designer. 

Their jackets-section can be torn into two sub-segments. There are the longer ones and then there are the shorter ones, with the latter being slim-fit and relatively more on the funky side (with different kinds of buttons, multiple zippers, etc.).  

Sweaters are a popular winter wear, and Cats Eye has a wide variety of them, from normal ones to the trendy, and from those with earthy tones and as well as those in bright colours. 

Hoodies are not just a trendy wear, but a saviour in the cold. Check out Cats Eye's hoodies, which have funny sayings and graphics on them. It also has a collection of hoody-shirts. 

Cats Eye has recently introduced a line of smart-casual shirts. These trendy shirts, made of cotton, come in prints, checks, stripes, et al. "Prints are very in now," Quddus said.

The fashion brand also has a fabulous collection of linen suits - perfect to wear those to afternoon parties.

Winter marks the wedding season and Cats Eye can help you with that too. To give just one example how, the outlets boast different accessories like bags and shoes. From the bridesmaids to the bride herself, Cats Eye will not let anyone down. 

The company also has a children's line whilst Monsoon Rain, a brand targeted towards executives, is its sister concern. 

Cats Eye focuses on sophistication. "If you ask what fashion is to me, I would say that sophistication is the most fashionable thing a man or a woman can pull off. I try to provide my customers with sophisticated clothes, some of which may be very trendy and funky, but all throughout, sophistication is the main thing we want in all our clothes," Siddiqui says. 

From blazers to ponchos, Cats Eye's winter wardrobe is a must tryout. 

Cats Eye has 17 outlets in Dhaka, 3 in Chittagong, 1 in Bogra, 1 in Cox's Bazaar, 1 in Sylhet and 1 in Khulna. You can also buy from their online store: catseye.com.bd.
