We’ve got a special lineup for you – the top 10 color and clothing tips to keep you looking and feeling cool in the heat. So, whether you’re navigating the bustling streets of Mumbai or enjoying the scenic beauty of Kerala, we’ve got your summer wardrobe covered. Let’s dive right in!

TIP 1 - Wear LIGHT AND BREEZY FABRICS.

Tip number one is all about the fabric. Opt for light and breezy materials like cotton, linen, and chiffon. These fabrics allow your skin to breathe and handle the Indian summer heat like a charm. Imagine wearing a cotton kurta or a linen shirt; not only do they offer comfort, but they also add a touch of elegance to your summer wardrobe.

TIP 2 - EMBRACE THE WHITES.

Moving on to tip number two: Embrace the whites. White is not just a color; it’s a summer vibe. It reflects sunlight, keeping you cooler than darker hues. A crisp white kurta, a flowing white maxi dress, or even white palazzo pants can make a bold statement and keep the heat at bay.

TIP 3 - VIBRANT COLORS.

For our third tip, let’s paint our wardrobe with vibrant colors. Indian summers are synonymous with festivals and celebrations, making it the perfect time to embrace bold and bright colors. Think turmeric yellow, fuchsia pink, or sky blue. These colors not only complement the Indian skin tone beautifully but also mirror the country's vibrant culture.

TIP 4 - LOOSE FITTING CLOTHES.

Tip number four is all about the fit. Loose-fitting clothes are your best friend during the summer. They allow for better air circulation, helping your body to cool down naturally. So, choose relaxed silhouettes like flared dresses, oversized shirts, or wide-legged pants for your summer outings.

TIP 5 - LIGHTWEIGHT LAYERS.

Coming in at tip number five, let's talk about layering. Yes, you heard that right! Even in summer, layering can be your ally, especially with lightweight materials. A sheer kaftan over your outfit or a light cotton scarf can protect you from the sun without adding to the heat.

TIP 6 - PRINTS AND PATTERNS.

Our sixth tip encourages you to play with prints and patterns. Summer is the perfect season to experiment with floral prints, geometric patterns, and traditional Indian motifs. They add an element of fun and flair to your attire, making your outfit stand out in the best way possible.

TIP 7 - SUN PROTECTIVE CLOTHING.

Tip number seven is a practical one – sun protective clothing. Look for clothes with a UPF rating, which indicates how much UV radiation can penetrate the fabric. Wearing UPF-rated clothing is like having built-in sunscreen for your body, crucial for the Indian summer.

TIP 8 - ACCESSORIZE WITH SUNGLASSES AND HATS.

At number eight, we’re accessorizing! Sunglasses and wide-brimmed hats are not just fashion statements; they're necessities. They protect your eyes and face from the harsh sun, and let's be honest, they can really pull an outfit together.

TIP 9 - FOOTWEAR.

Nearing the end, tip number nine is about keeping those feet happy with breathable footwear. Think open-toed sandals, flats, and loafers. Opt for natural materials like leather or canvas to keep your feet comfortable and sweat-free.

TIP 10 - STAY HYDRATED.

And finally, tip number ten – while not directly related to fashion, it's perhaps the most important: Stay hydrated. Drinking plenty of water not only keeps you healthy but also ensures your skin stays fresh and glowing, complementing any outfit you choose.

And there you have it, folks – our top 10 color and clothing tips for the Indian summer.
