Beating the Heat with Chic Summer Outfits

With scorching heat hitting the roof in summers, it is tough for us to stay covered from head to toe. However, it is not enough to wear only tank tops and shorts to beat the heat. For most of us, it’s quite tricky to select clothes that appear to be modest outfits while not suffocating us in the extreme summer heat. So what exactly to wear in summers, under the blazing sun, if tanks and shorts aren’t your thing? Indianroots suggests a few tips on keeping it stylish while being modest:

Avoid Denims

Of course, denim jeans look good with almost everything, but this is one thing that you will have to avoid during summers, to keep your body cool. Due to its thick fabric and tight stitching, you can surely place your jeans at the back of your wardrobe until next winters. In summers, jeans can be substituted with harem pants, palazzos, chinos, cargoes, or any of the limitless variety of loose-fitting bottoms available at indianroots.com.

Looser is Cooler

Summer is the time when women choose to wear tight-fitted outfits to flaunt their body silhouettes (after all many people work hard at the gym to have a perfect beach body). However, experts suggest that flowing, loose garments like tunic tops, jumpsuits and maxis are ideal outfits for summers. Apart from enabling better air flow, these outfits simply look great, feel comfortable and are quite fashionable.

Avoid Wearing Layers

Since the majority of summer clothes feature short sleeves or none at all, women urging to dress modestly often end up wearing layers underneath or on top to cover up; as a result, they sweat excessively. Instead, you should select clothes that don’t require you to wear multiple layers.

Pick The Right Fabric

Wearing the right fabric under heat will leave you comfortable and your skin glowing. As weightless fabric allows your skin to breathe, it will cool down your body and make you sweat less. Experts recommend linen and cotton as the two fabrics that should be preferred during hot and humid weather.

Dazzle In a Perfect Set of Lehenga-Choli

Lehenga-choli has been a popular Indian attire since time immemorial and it is one piece of clothing which holds a special place in every Indian woman’s wardrobe. Most people believe that lehenga-choli looks extremely elegant and it enhances the beauty of a woman by several notches. This is the reason why Indian women prefer to wear it on their wedding day!

If you also plan to wear a lehenga on your wedding, then you can have a look at the impressive collection of lehenga cholis available online at Indianroots.com..  However, you must keep a few things in mind while searching for a lehenga set online. The first thing that you must take into account is the quality of the product. To ensure that the quality of the lehenga set is good, you must rely only on reputed online shopping stores.

Another important thing that you must take into consideration is the right size. A woman in ill-fitted clothes is probably the biggest turn-off for any onlooker and that is why fashion experts always emphasize on the fitting of a clothing item. So never purchase a lehenga without referring to the size-chart provided by the website. In case you feel that your lehenga is a bit loose then make sure you visit a reputed tailor in town and get it altered accordingly! Generally, lehenga cholis come with intricate work details. As a result, tailors find it hard to alter them. If you do not want to ruin your lehenga set then approaching the right tailor is very important. 

Well, no matter what you decide to buy, make sure that it suits you and your body-type. Never opt for a style that doesn’t suit you, even if it’s the trendiest thing around. Always go for designs and colors that you think would suit you perfectly!

Footwear trends for this summer season!

Most of the fashionistas would agree that slipping into a stylish pair of footwear is one of the quickest and easiest way to add the much needed streak of freshness to any outfit.

Summer season is here and the style experts have predicted that this season is all about colors. Going by the latest fashion trends, it can be said that bold and bright colored footwears are going to rule the fashion world for the next few months.

If you want to follow this trend, keep the following points in mind:

• Refrain from following this trend blindly

It goes without saying that this is a loud trend and therefore you need to be careful about selecting your footwear in order to put your “best foot forward”. Also ensure that only one element of your look draws attention. If you are experimenting with bright colored footwear, choose an attire that is not so dramatic on colours.

• Go the monochrome way!

Monochrome dresses and brightly colored shoes are a great combination. Colored shoes can take a basic monochrome outfit to a whole new level of chicness. You can opt for colors like hot pink, coral, cobalt, lime-green and turquoise.

• Matching Accessories

Fashion stylists from Indianroots.com reveal that another brilliant way to rock bright shoes is to coordinate them with your accessories, such as belts, bags and jewellery pieces. Remember to choose one accessory at a time. For example, if you have a neon pink belt then try pairing it up with a similar colored footwear but while doing this make sure to wear neutral colored clothes or else you might end up looking like a painter's color palette!
