Go light and casual

Have a cotton jumpsuit that you have given up on? Wear it with a casual jacket and flats. If you have a plain jumpsuit, make sure the jacket has prints or embellishment and vice versa.

Gel your hair into a smooth bun at the nape of your neck
Go for prints
Prints on pants and jeans are in. You can wear a cropped top with it. Keeping the look monochrome would be ideal, since too much of prints can be rather overwhelming.

With centre parted hair tie two knots on either side
Opt for colour
Bright happy colours talk about summer and so does a flowy, loose and comfortable kaftan. Choose to wear light khadi kaftans in bright colours to beat the heat. For evenings pair it with straight-fit pants.

Layer it right
Layering can give your ensemble a cool look, especially when you are wearing light materials like cottons, linen etc. Wear a mesh top over a bustier of the same colour and then pair it with a palazo or long skirt.

Edgy cool
A pretty full-sleeved shirt under a sleeveless dress? Style a summer dress with a monochrome shirt for some edgy glamour. Dress it up with a classy chignon and skyscraper stilettos.

Shirting around
Long shirts are in and how! You could wear them as dresses with a belt, with pants or slacks and also just as they are. Wrap a nice light stole around your neck to get a chic look.

Mesh jackets
Ramps across the globe and in India, have showcased mesh. But it is not the most easily approachable fabric. However, you can make this trend work for you. Pair your cropped pants with a singlet and throw a mesh jacket on top.

Spell poise with dresses
Of course a summery, short, slip dress is cute and fun but if you want to add some drama and are not too comfortable with just a slip dress, you can wear an ankle-length light jacket with small prints, on top.
