Sammyukk

What Sammyukk actually does differently

Most womenswear labels pick a side, soft drape or hard tailoring. Sammyukk runs both in one range. The Pleated Stripe Chiffon Layered Top at INR 900 and the Pleated Placket Casual Georgette Shirt at INR 1,000 sit at the fluid end. The Panelled Denim & Twill Structured Jacket and the Colorblock Two-Button Blazer Jacket, both INR 2,499, sit at the other. The Tie and Dye Chambray Blazer Dress at INR 2,200 tries to do both at once, and largely gets away with it.

What to buy

• A complete outfit — the Round Neck Top & Palazzo Casual Co-Ord Set at INR 2,400, or the One Button Jacket & Pant Acid Washed Denim Co-Ord Set at INR 3,400.
• Something for a semi-formal evening — the Ruffled Band Collar Embroidered Short Dress or the Floral Vine 3D Embroidered Short Dress, both INR 1,600.
• A shirt that carries plain trousers — the Two Tone Pintuck Pleated Button-up Satin Shirt at INR 1,900, or the Gold Piped Trim Bell Sleeves Shirt at INR 1,300.
• An everyday base — the Leaf Embroidered Crop Shirt at INR 1,000 with the High Banded Waist Wide Leg Pants at INR 1,599.

What to expect on fabric

Chiffon, georgette and satin drape well and crease within an hour of sitting down. The denim and twill pieces hold their shape all day but run warm through a Mumbai afternoon. Buy for the occasion rather than the photograph. Sizing is not standardised across the labels stocked here, so check each product's own chart before ordering.
