Mumbai, Nov 17 (IANS) International singer Ed Sheeran is going to perform in India on Sunday and while you are gearing up for his “Divide Tour”, don’t forget to dress like his true fan in order to impress him.

From laidback ‘Galway girl’ to the ‘Perfect’ Sheerio, designer at European fashion brand ONLY and TIGI Educator Audrey D’Souza doles out tips on how to be concert-ready in no time taking inspiration from Sheeran’s own looks.

*Galway Girl: With torn jeans and a checkered shirt tied to your hips, be the ‘Galway girl on a perfect night’. Match a white tee with basic runners and slide on a bomber jacket to keep it casual cool. Add that finishing touch with black boots. This is a laid-back comfy look, ideal for being fuss-free and enjoying the concert.

* Hair: Up the game with your favourite elementary school hairstyle which is fierce yet fuss-free — perfect for the humid Mumbai weather. We spotted it on the uber-cool Shay Mitchell too.

* How to get those hair: Prep your hair using a mix of smoothening serum. Create a centre parting and create 3 sections. Braid the unclipped side by taking some hair at the top and separating it into three equal sections. Next, take the left section and cross it under the middle one and keep repeating from left to right. Repeat the process with the hair down the right side, till you reach the ends of your hair and secure with a hair elastic. Do the same for the other side. Finish the look by spraying a hairspray.

*Perfectly ‘Perfect’: Put together a perfect mix of fashion meets function while sporting a monochrome crop top with detailed jackets. Drape it casually around your shoulders or zip up for a tough look, a jacket will instantly add oodles of panache to your outfit. Get the best of both worlds by combining edgy plus boho into the outfit.

Wear a basic grey tee and knot it up your waist. Go for skinny jeans, mildly ripped and pair it with biker jackets in military green, ink blue or black.

* Hair: Get the perfect angelic soft curls for the mesmerize everyone with your halo effect.

Wash your hair and add a dollop of anti-frizz and shine serum for that silky-smooth finish on semi dry hair. Using a curler, take even horizontal sections of hair and wrap these sections around the tong. Continue this process over until you have completed the entire head then the curls lightly to get those perfect soft curls. Finish off by spraying the shine spray to keep them in place.

* They’ll be in love with ‘The Shape Of You’: Take a leaf out of every party girls weekend diaries and style yourself in a metallic chic look. Pair a metallic sweatshirt with a darker leather skirt for a glam monotone look. Complete the look with some toned down and comfy white sneakers. Let the outfit get the spotlight by going minimal on accessorize. Carry a basic black sling for all your necessities.

* Hair: Take inspiration from the spunky Miley Cyrus to get the best of both worlds by combining edgy plus girly into a braided hair-do, keeping humidity and its resultant frizz at bay.

Part your hair from one side, with the pointed end of a teasing comb. Work the smaller section of the hair into a tight braid – you can choose to make this a waterfall braid or a usual one. Use a bobby pin or a transparent hair tie to safely secure the end of the braid behind the nape of your neck. Finish the look by spraying a hairspray.

Finally, for a finishing touch, use a shine spray. Hold it 10-12 inches from your hair and spray in short bursts across all sections for awe-worthy hair.

CasinoDays India

International online casino Casino Days has published a report sharing their internal data on what types and brands of devices are used to play on the platform by users from the South Asian region.

Such aggregate data analyses allow the operator to optimise their website for the brands and models of devices people are actually using.

The insights gained through the research also help Casino Days tailor their services based on the better understanding of their clients and their needs.

Desktops and Tablets Lose the Battle vs Mobile

The primary data samples analysed by Casino Days reveal that mobile connections dominate the market in South Asia and are responsible for a whopping 96.6% of gaming sessions, while computers and tablets have negligible shares of 2.9% and 0.5% respectively.

The authors of the study point out that historically, playing online casino was exclusively done on computers, and attribute thе major shift to mobile that has unfolded over time to the wide spread of cheaper smartphones and mobile data plans in South Asia.

“Some of the reasons behind this massive difference in device type are affordability, technical advantages, as well as cheaper and more obtainable internet plans for mobiles than those for computers,” the researchers comment.

Xiaomi and Vivo Outperform Samsung, Apple Way Down in Rankings

Chinese brands Xiaomi and Vivo were used by 21.9% and 20.79% of Casino Days players from South Asia respectively, and together with the positioned in third place with a 18.1% share South Korean brand Samsung dominate the market among real money gamers in the region.

Cupertino, California-based Apple is way down in seventh with a user share of just 2.29%, overshadowed by Chinese brands Realme (11.43%), OPPO (11.23%), and OnePlus (4.07%).

Huawei is at the very bottom of the chart with a tiny share just below the single percent mark, trailing behind mobile devices by Motorola, Google, and Infinix.

The data on actual phone usage provided by Casino Days, even though limited to the gaming parts of the population of South Asia, paints a different picture from global statistics on smartphone shipments by vendors.

Apple and Samsung have been sharing the worldwide lead for over a decade, while current regional leader Xiaomi secured their third position globally just a couple of years ago.

Striking Android Dominance among South Asian Real Money Gaming Communities

The shifted market share patterns of the world’s top smartphone brands in South Asia observed by the Casino Days research paper reveal a striking dominance of Android devices at the expense of iOS-powered phones.

On the global level, Android enjoys a comfortable lead with a sizable 68.79% share which grows to nearly 79% when we look at the whole continent of Asia. The data on South Asian real money gaming communities suggests that Android’s dominance grows even higher and is north of the 90% mark.

Among the major factors behind these figures, the authors of the study point to the relative affordability of and greater availability of Android devices in the region, especially when manufactured locally in countries like India and Vietnam.

“And, with influencers and tech reviews putting emphasis on Android devices, the choice of mobile phone brand and OS becomes easy; Android has a much wider range of products and caters to the Asian online casino market in ways that Apple can’t due to technical limitations,” the researchers add.

The far better integration achieved by Google Pay compared to its counterpart Apple Pay has also played a crucial role in shaping the existing smartphone market trends.
