Post Friendship Day gifting options in collaboration with John Players

Hi everyone 🙂

How was friendship day? I hope you had a good time. When I think of friendship day, I think about school where the hype was all about making friendship bands and peeking at everyone’s hands to see who have the most number of bands on their hand. The one with the most would be considered as the cool one. 😛 I can’t help laughing about it now but I think such small things made such a difference back then. Now, we don’t look for the most number of friends anymore. It’s more about the kind of friends we make and the ones that are here to stay, be it just one or a bunch of them. How I wish we were kids all the time. No complications, just plain fun. 🙂

Talking about friendship day, this post is dedicated to just that. What if friendship day is over? To people who celebrate friendship, there need not be a specific day allotted to just that, right? But just in case, you forgot to gift your friend – here’s something that could help.

John Players is a brand that no one is alien to. I still remember those campaigns Hrithik Roshan was part of for John Players when I was in school. Yes, I liked him back then 😛 I used to store those John Players cut-outs from the newspaper. Now that I think of it, it’s so funny! 😀

Before I start talking about a few gifting options, here’s a small introduction on John Players:

ITC forayed into the youth fashion segment with the launch of John Players in December 2002 and John Players is committed to be the No. 1 fashion brand for the youth. This foray leverages ITC’s proven competencies in understanding consumer insights, brand building and design capabilities.

The brand John Players resonates with the idea of youth who is fun loving, outgoing, independent and above all who values friendship.

On this Friendship Day, the brand exhorts you to shop for your friends out of its current collection in stores.  John Players offers The Cool Pool, Rugby Rush and Origine as key collections this season in casuals.

The Cool Pool offers bright and breezy linens in pastel colours capturing the key trends of horizontal stripes and printed shirts. Inspired by the buzz of campus life, Rugby Rush collection presents an energetic range in varsity colours of red, white and blue with rugby graphics & sport motifs. Range of Origine casuals offer indigo dyed essentials in cotton-linens with nature inspired elements like wooden buttons.

Along with these, enjoy an exciting John Players Jeans range showcasing contemporary fits, experimental washes and playful styling. The collection of jeans has an innovative product line – Knitted denims that provide both rugged look of denim & stretch and comfort of a knitted fabric; Satin denims made of light weight satin weave fabric for great comfort during summer & Laser wash denims offering intricate designs using laser technology to accentuate your fashion quotient.

I put two looks for this post using things that were already present. For example, I used this John Players pastel shirt from it’s Cool Pool collection and John Players Jeans in skinny fit for a casual look.

This pastel linen shirt in purple is apt to wear on denims or on formal trousers. This buttoned-down shirt comes in different shades as well.

One more look that I absolutely love to see men in is a blazer over such a casual outfit. It just takes the whole look a notch higher. 🙂

The pattern is very similar to houndstooth but not completely though. It compliments the denims and purple linen shirt quite well.

So here are a few things that you can gift your friends. 🙂 A nice blazer, pastel linen shirts or Jeans. Linens are so easy and comfortable that no guy would say no to it!

Go on, celebrate Friendship day your way! 😀 Any day, any way 🙂

Oh! Speaking about friends, here’s a video that you need to watch:

Until next time,

Ciao. ♥
