Cotton, linen, chiffon — the breathable fabrics that keep you cool, comfortable and chic when the temperature soars.
The cool list
- Cotton lawn: the desi summer hero — light, breathable, endlessly printable.
- Linen: wrinkles beautifully, breathes even better. Embrace the creases.
- Chiffon & georgette: floaty overlays that catch the breeze.
- Seersucker & eyelet: texture that keeps fabric off the skin.
The avoid list
Heavy polyester, thick denim and anything labelled “dry clean only” in 40° heat. If it doesn’t breathe, it doesn’t belong in July.
Summer styling rules
Loose beats tight (airflow is cooling), light colours reflect heat, and a wide-brim hat is both sun protection and a style statement.
Stylist tip: a spritz of rose water on your dupatta or scarf before heading out — cooling and fragrant all day.
