Those cold days of winter are finally over. Slowly, you all wash and pack the winter clothes while taking out the summer clothes.
Ours is a tropical country characterised by high heat and humidity. It would be unbearable inside and outside in just a few weeks.
Despite the heat, daily life continues, and people must dress appropriately for work and personal engagements.
Revising your wardrobe and finding fashionable ways to stay cool is essential. The blog offers fashion tips to help you beat the summer heat while staying in fashion.
Check out the blog for more information, and stay stylish this summer.

Choose breathable fabrics

Always choose breathable fabrics like cotton, linen, or rayon to stay comfortable in summer. These natural fibres don’t allow the body to heat up, offer ventilation, absorb readily, and are durable. Buy cotton or linen tops and kurtas for women and wear these fabrics to feel refreshed.

Wear more light-coloured clothes

Comfort is the key to fashion, so you should stock more light-coloured summer clothes. Lighter colours reflect sunlight and heat, keeping you more relaxed, while darker colours trap heat against your body, causing discomfort and overheating.

Buy some loose-fitting dresses

All the loose-fitting dresses for women allow easy air-circulation, helping to reduce sweat and prevent skin irritation—quite common in our hot and humid country. Loose dresses are ideal for summer because they regulate body temperature.

Include hats

A wide-brimmed hat is a sunscreen and a stylish accessory. It protects against scorching and harmful UV rays. Opt for a hat with a brim at least three inches wide to ensure maximum sun protection.

Drape a scarf

A lightweight, breathable scarf can be a versatile accessory in the hotter months. You can drape it around your neck or shoulders to protect you from the sun. Go for a bold colour or pattern to make a statement!

Never step out without sunglasses

The sun's rays are most intense during the summer, so sunglasses should be a crucial part of your wardrobe. They reduce glare, help you see in bright sunlight, block harmful UV rays, save eyes from damage, and elevate the overall look. They easily go with all types of Indian and Western clothing.

Either sleeveless or cap sleeves

Sleeveless styles allow plenty of airflow around the arms, minimising the risk of overheating. If you prefer more coverage, cap sleeves can be a great alternative that still allows for ventilation. Opt for breathable fabrics, such as cotton or linen, for added comfort.

Skin-friendly socks

Wearing socks can make your feet feel hot and uncomfortable in the summer. However, if socks are necessary, opt for lightweight and breathable materials like cotton, bamboo, or mesh to promote airflow and keep feet cool.

Get ready in a saree often

Saree is the most Indian women's clothing, and how it is draped, baring the waist a bit, has much to do with our climate. They offer easy movement and timeless elegance for any occasion. Choose lightweight fabrics like cotton, chiffon, linen, or handloom for summer days.

Keep white bottoms in your wardrobe

There's nothing more stylish and refreshing than white denim. You must keep a white bottom, like a pant or a skirt, in your wardrobe and pair that with the latest tops in a playful print. This combination of classic white and bold, eye-catching accents creates a polished, modern look that is perfect for any summer occasion.
You will see various offers and discounts on summer tops, dresses, sarees, and kurtas online as summer arrives. But remember to pick the right colour and fabric and use the proper accessories to step out in style. Besides choosing your clothes and accessories for summer, remember to stay hydrated to beat the summer heat.
