From Salwar Kameez To Cotton Coords, Ethnicwear For Breezy Summers

The season of velvet and brocade has officially bid us adieu, and all one is looking for is comfortable clothing, that is sweatproof. While many enjoy taking the denim route with shorts, and tiny bodycon, some still enjoy cuddling up their Indian ethnic wardrobe to remain ready for the heat. And while most would not know, India’s traditional, ethnic silhouettes are actually the best pieces to stack up on during the summer season. Crafted out of breathable cotton fabric, everything from salwars to roomy kalidars, will help you breathe in the heat this summer. So, if you’re ready to root for ethnic wear this season, take a note of these pieces. 

Cotton Salwar Kameez

Nothing that can beat a roomy salwar kameez. A perfect pick for a time under the sun, a cotton salwar kameez is a no-brainer choice even amongst celebrities like Karisma Kapoor and Sara Ali Khan. Tailored using cotton fabric, everything from the shade white to the textile, a white salwar kameez will be your perfect uniform to lounge in this summer. 

Chikankari kurta 

India’s ever-growing love for Lucknowi embroidery is visible during this season. Chikankari kurtas in every colour and variation are versatile pieces to fill your summer closets with. From styling it with mom denim jeans to layering it over shorts, a Chikankari kurta will save you from the sun.

Coord sets 

Coordinated sets are Indian fashion’s gift to all of us. The newly-invented sets in printed formats, come in a variety of pants and kurta options. You can style these coords from AM to PM, with unique accessories. Preferably in cotton, coord sets in summer hues will save you from the heat.

Fusion dresses 

A perfect DIY hack that you must attempt this summer, is wearing your kurta sans pants. An interesting way to curate your very own fusionwear, is choosing a printed cotton kalidaar, or low-slit kurtas, which will do the duties of a dress and keep you cool in the heat.
