Linen is the quiet luxury hero of 2025 summer: 3 styling tips to look fab
Running late? Throw on a linen ensemble and watch how it fits perfectly into almost every setting, from brunch dates and boardroom meetings to evening hangouts. Linen has a range that gets the assignment every single time. Consider linen has the cherry on top of your cool girl package, ready to slay in any setting.
In an interview with HT Lifestyle, Saurabh, the Founder and Head Designer at Agosto, shared how linen is becoming the new summer essential.
He said, 'Linen has always been India's breezy summer essential, but in 2025, it's getting a serious upgrade. No longer just a beach-day staple, linen is stepping confidently into boardrooms, brunches, and art galleries, dressed in a new mood: quiet luxury. At its core, quiet luxury is about confidence without the chaos. It's the clean lines, muted tones, and thoughtful tailoring that speak volumes without uttering a word. Indian designers and stylists are giving linen a whole new identity this year. Gone are the days when it was limited to oversized kurtas or shapeless shirts. Today's linen is smart, structured, and oh-so-sophisticated. Whether it's sharply tailored co-ord sets, fluid wrap dresses, or breezy blazers, the fabric is proving it can do both comfort and couture in one go.'

"New Chapter Begins": Dhanashree Verma's Cryptic Post After Breaking Silence On Divorce With Yuzvendra Chahal
Dhanashree Verma, social media influencer and ex-wife of Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal, recently broke her silence on the couple's much-publicised divorce. After 18 months of living separately, Chahal and Dhanashree officially parted ways on March 20, 2025. According to reports, the cricketer paid Rs 4.75 crore as alimony to Dhanashree. Speaking to Humans of Bombay, Dhanashree addressed her personal life and the rumors surrounding a "fake marriage". The couple tied the knot in December 2020. As per their petition, they separated in June 2022. On February 5, they filed a joint petition before the family court seeking divorce by mutual consent. On Thursday, Dhanashree posted a photo on her Instagram story that read: "It's time to rise. A new chapter begins now. Speaking to Humans of Bombay, Dhanashree addressed her personal life and the rumors surrounding a "fake marriage". "There is a reason why we say 'personal life'. It has to be private. And look, a coin has two sides. Taali ek haath se to bajti nahi (You can't clap with one hand). Just because I am not speaking it doesn't give anyone the power to take advantage of that. It is not correct. I think it should not happen with anybody," said Dhanashree. Dhanashree added that while she has her side of the story and could share it in the future, she is currently focused on her career. "If you want to achieve great things, you don't have to address it again and again. I do have a lot to speak about it, I have my side of my story, do I want to delve into that? No. Do I wish to delve into that? Maybe, in the future," she added. The Bombay High Court in March requested the family court to decide the divorce plea. The high court also waived the six-month cooling period stipulated for every couple after filing of the divorce plea under the Hindu Marriage Act. Chahal and Verma had filed a joint petition before the high court, seeking that the cooling-off period be waived in their case as they applied for divorce by mutual consent. The petition had also prayed for a direction to the family court to decide the divorce petition expeditiously.

Beyond turmeric: How Indian superfoods are redefining skincare
For centuries, that golden glow came from more than just good lighting; turmeric held a place of honour in Indian beauty rituals, praised for its antibacterial, brightening, and healing the conversation is evolving. A new generation of Indian-origin superfoods is rising from the roots, bringing with it a deeper, more nuanced understanding of skin nourishment. From antioxidant-rich amla to adaptogenic ashwagandha, today's formulations are finally beginning to reflect the incredible biodiversity of the Indian subcontinent. This shift isn't just about trends; it's part of a broader movement towards mindful skincare, where ingredients are not only effective but also culturally resonant, traceable, and holistic in their about working with your skin, not against it: balancing microbiomes, repairing barriers, and protecting against modern-day stressors. And that's where a new wave of Indian skincare brands is carving its niche. To explore this new wave more deeply, India Today spoke with Sahyadri Nimesha Bhagia, Co-Founder of SUYU India, a conscious skincare brand rooted in potent Indian SUPERFOODS WITH INTEGRITY'Each of our products is an homage to the way Indian ingredients were used across generations, but with a clarity that today's consumer demands,' says Sahyadri Nimesha Bhagia. 'It's about integrity, from research to formulating to how it feels on your skin.'BEYOND TURMERICWhile turmeric will always remain iconic, Bhagia points out that lesser-known Indian heroes are finally finding their spotlight. 'Manjistha for pigmentation, brahmi for barrier health, Indian rosehip for renewal these are the ingredients that define our approach. "We blend them with global actives like reishi and chaga mushrooms for a balanced, modern formulation.'RITUALS THAT MEAN SOMETHINGFor Bhagia, the rise of skinimalism, fewer, more effective products, pairs beautifully with India's biodiversity. Consumers don't just want results anymore; they want rituals with meaning. They're asking: where is this from, why has it been used for centuries, what story does it carry?'Just as K-beauty put snail mucin and ginseng on the world map, Bhagia believes Indian superfoods are on their way to global relevance. 'What once sat in our kitchens or apothecaries is now finding a place on international beauty shelves. This is India's time to share its ingredient intelligence with the world.'- Ends

In India, celebrities like Virat Kohli, Anushka Sharma, Alia Bhatt, Richa Chadha, Samantha Ruth Prabhu, and Ritesh and Genelia Deshmukh have brought increased attention to vegan lifestyles. According to Future Market Insights, the global plant-based milk market is projected to grow from USD 21.9 billion in 2025 to USD 52.4 billion by 2035. 'Environmental and ethical considerations, including avoiding the animal exploitation inherent in the dairy industry, have also emerged as significant factors,' says Sachin Rajvansh, nutritionist and advanced Iyengar yoga practitioner. He adds, 'More than fad the benefits can be felt from inside as per yog perspective. The satisfaction of not harming animals gives deep satisfaction. Plant-based milks (especially almond, oat, coconut) are seen as more satvik compared to animal milk, which is often linked with heaviness, lethargy, or attachment. Satvik food supports clarity of mind, balance, and spiritual practice.' Tastier options Healthier and more sustainable, plant-based milks have become a staple in hotel kitchens too. 'We offer soy, oat, and more on request—driven by a global shift toward healthier choices,' says Novotel Goa Panjim's executive chef Dinesh Rana. He has even curated a special menu for this. 'From oat milk lattes to coconut-milk infused desserts and almond-based smoothies, we are giving classics a wholesome twist — it's a lifestyle that's kinder to health and the planet,' says Rana. Chefs are adding new flavours and patrons are lapping it up. 'Delicacies like Strawberry Chia Seed Pudding, Berry Overnight Oats, Spinach Smoothie, Vegan Smoothie Bowl, Soy Milk Ice Mocha, Almond Milk Cappuccino, and Coconut Milk Ice Mocha are dishes that patrons have started demanding,' says Jitendra Singh, Fairfield by Marriott F&B manager. 'As per brand compliance we have a mandate to keep soya or almond milk items and mention milk-type use. It's a healthy trend and I have witnessed its growth,' he adds.
