10 Wardrobe Essentials WOMEN must have in Summer

Being a girl or woman in a collectivist country like India, where almost everyone is judgemental, especially in terms of fashion, is not an easy task. However, like every other obstacle, Indian women have successfully conquered the collectivist culture of our country and have come a long way.

The dog days are already here, and most of us are looking for a solution to get away with it. Alas, we can’t get away with summer heat that easily, but we can’t wait to go out as soon as possible as we have spent a considerable amount of time in our homes lately dealing with covid restrictions.

Going out in summer, even for a short time, sounds terrible, but you can survive the nasty summer by choosing the right wardrobe. One can’t dare to wear everyday clothes during summer, especially in a tropical region like India, where the temperature easily outshines 40° and scorches you alive.

Any wardrobe is incomplete without the summer essentials as we have to face the summer season for about 3-4 months. When dealing with summer, we have to raise the style bar similar to the scorching temperature as that keeps us going ahead and makes us comfortable in and out.

Suitable fabrics and colours for Summer Season

Summer clothes should be made of breathable fabrics such as cotton, and they must be bright in colour as such colours subconsciously augment our energy levels. Now, take a good look at the refreshing list of summer wardrobe essentials that we have created for you and beat the heat in style.

White T-Shirt

Let’s start from the basics! I know, seeing a white t-shirt at the top of the list is least expected, but don’t forget summer is all about going basic. A white t-shirt is one of the most versatile pieces you can wear during summer as it looks good on almost everything, be it relaxed fit blue jeans or a floral patterned skirt.

Shirt Dress

A shirt dress can easily help you swing the hot Indian summer days as they’re one of the classy garments that offer breathability along with a versatile look. You can pair up a shirt dress with a blazer for professional outings or pair it with white sneakers and hit the local café in style.

Tank Tops

We have a lot of options when it comes to tank tops as one can wear them almost everywhere, be it while sweating out in the gym or heading to the mall. Wear a tank top with a maxi skirt for a boho-chic look, or pair it up with a pencil skirt to have a formal look.

Denim Shorts

A pair of comfortable fit denim shorts can do wonders, especially when searching for a summer outfit. Wear a patterned bodysuit, white t-shirt or a crop top and add a statement belt, a handy phone bag along with black heels, and you’re ready to show off the summer chic look.

Sunglasses

One can’t survive the brutality of the summer (at least during the summer) without sunglasses unless you have spectacles and have no option rather than dealing with the harsh sun. While looking for sunglasses, go for the ones that suit your face shape the best and invest in a high-quality pair as they provide a decent shield.

Slides

Slides are one of the most comfortable and cute footwear you’ll see in summer as they’re easy to get on and off. Slides are the most versatile flip flops as they blend perfectly with a variety of outfits. Add the slides to your closet for summertime and style them with your favourite cropped, tapered, or relaxed denim.

Linen Wide Leg Culotte

Culotte may sound weird to the clan who always prefer to wear skinny jeans, but these wide-leg pants are easy to pull off and are favourite outdoor wear for the top celebrities, including Kendall Jenner, Jennifer Lopez, and Kate Middleton. They’re a perfect option if you’re looking for something airy during summer.

White Sneakers

White sneakers will never go out of style as they’re one of the top-notch footwear options, particularly during summer. Also, white pair of sneakers go with any outfit until you know how to keep them clean. Wear them with a polka dress or graphic tee with blue jeans, and thank me later.

Breton Striped Shirt or T-Shirt

A french-born Breton staple shirt or t-shirt can stand out amongst all the summer outfits and help you get a chic look. The original design featured 21 stripes, one for each of Napoleon Bonaparte’s victories, but who cares? Breton staple shirts or t-shirts look classy when paired with jeans or shorts.

Swimsuit

 

The best way to overcome the summer heat is diving into any kind of water body, such as pools, rivers, or beaches but going down the pool area in a t-shirt and shorts sounds a little outdated. Instead, get a proper swimsuit like a stylish one-piece and re-visit your inner sea mermaid.

10 Wardrobe Essentials MEN must have in Summer

The great Indian summer is here, and most of us are already drowning in a pool of sweat while commuting to work, playing outdoor games or perhaps everywhere. Nobody wants to go out in the summer, especially when living in a tropical country like ours, but that’s not the prime reason to stay inside.

Do you know why a massive number of men prefer winter as their go-to season? Well, the first thought that hits your mind is exemplary – salute to you, but besides that, the styling guide plays a key role. In winter, you can layer up yourself with cool jackets, funky shawls and whatnot, making it a style season.

While, in the case of the summer, we can’t even imagine getting out in a disgusting humid 40+ degree temperature. However, we’re eager to venture out as we’ve had enough during these last 2-years, and people are finally planning something where they’re packing everything except masks.

Well, nothing stays intact in a world of fast fashion but having a proper wardrobe essential and styling guide could save you anytime as these are the core elements that will allow you to enjoy the great tropical vibes while commuting to work or walking on a beach.

Suitable fabrics for Summer Season

Every season has its list of appropriate fabrics, and when it comes to the summer season, one must go with lighter fabrics with flexible weaves, such as cotton, linen, sheer and khadi, as these fabrics keep you cool inside and comfortable outside, all these benefits without surrendering any of style statement.

Suitable colours & fit for Summer Season

One can not summarize the bright and wonderful summer season without colours and patterns. Summer will be chiller if you add lighter shades of blue, browns, and greys to your wardrobe, along with clothes with colours like millennial pink, sage green, varsity red, and pastel purple.

One should avoid wearing dark shades during summer as they trap the heat from the sun and make you feel uncomfortably hotter. Also, loosen up your fit a bit like the guys from middle eastern countries do and go with relaxed fit clothes, which offer a decent room to breathe. Come on, it’s time to dive in.

Button-down long-sleeve Shirts

A pair of button-down long-sleeve shirts will serve as a smart casual for any summer situation, and once paired with relaxed/slim fit jeans or chinos, they’ll save you from having an everyday summer look of boring t-shirts and shorts. While walking out with these, make sure you unbutton the top button and roll up your sleeves.

White Sneakers

The white sneakers trend started back in the 20th century as a street style look, and it landed in the 21st century as a wardrobe classic, and indeed, they’re not going off the trend anytime soon. They’re known for their versatility as one can wear them casually and even with a tailored suit, but only if you know how to take care of them.

Ultralight Chinos

Chinos are the ideal bottom wears for the heat-season, of course, due to their welcome nature that offers breathability and comfort. I would say go for a lighter shade – slim fit chinos and pair them up with canvas sneakers and button-down long-sleeve shirts, henleys or even slim fit t-shirts.

Polo T-Shirts

Polo t-shirts are known as a middle ground between button-down shirts and t-shirts as they’re the perfect choice when you want to be professional and feel relaxed at the same time. While shopping for polos, go with a few muted summer colours of your choice and only buy the ones that equip you well.

Summer Shorts

Shorts are probably one of the most favoured outfits of the summertime as they offer the comfort you want in the warmer weather but only when you know how long your shorts should be! The shorts should be 1″ to 3″ above your knees, and if you’re planning to buy shorts that go past your knees, please turn the page.

Cuban-collar shirts

Cuban-collar shirts are famous for their collars which offer a little more breathing space (summery comfort) between collar and body. It was once known as strictly retro wear, but they’ve graduated into a men’s wardrobe staple in recent times. Go with the tropical, floral or geometrical prints and, of course, half sleeves.

Lightweight Jackets

Whoever said you couldn’t wear jackets during summer either damn-o-single or don’t prefer to go out on a date night. The lightweight jackets with signature large pockets are my favourite alternative to a blazer as they’re great to build breathability and always help you look smart while planning to go out.

Summer Shades

You can’t imagine hitting the outdoors during summertime without carrying a pair of reflective shades. Well, no kidding, you can’t imagine as the sun doesn’t let anyone do that. So put on the summer shades like Wayfarer, Clubmaster, Aviator or round eye lens to look stylish and keep the sun from blinding you.

Swim Shorts

Whether you know how to swim or not, swim shorts are one of the necessary wardrobe-essentials one should have during summer. We often prefer to visit water parks, beaches, and riversides in summer, and many guys fail to control a masculine urge to throw themselves in the waterbody. So yeah, get your swim shorts asap.

Summer Cologne

Summer brings a lot of unwanted heat and turns us into a sweaty phenomenon. Now, to overcome the heat, most of us overuse a cologne, resulting in an unsavoury smell due to an adverse chemical reaction. Hence, note it down – during summer, less is more, and for the best colognes, click here.
