Fabrics That Breathe
Save the polyester and rayons for winters! Its time to sort out your wardrobe and bring out natural fabrics like cool cottons, crisp khadis, soft linens and organza.
For a long day ahead, plan well to not end up fidgeting with your clothes later and feeling stuck in clingy clothes. We know you love those body hugging tees and tight denims but summer stands for comfort and loose yet stylish outfits.
Sheer, flimsy fabrics and light as feather fabrics suit well for the hot summers. Free-flowing, well-cut yet roomy fabrics are ideal choices and favorites during the summers.

Apart from dressing well for summers, make sure that you apply ample amounts of sunscreen lotion. For make-up, apply tinted moisturizer, light lip gloss or lip balm and minimal eye-makeup. Do not fill your eyes with heavy kohl liner or thick coats of mascara and eyeliner. Keep the look natural and light.
Also avoid heavy, chunky jewellery on your summer outfits. Instead accessorize with cool handbags and stylish sunglasses.
