1. SCool and comfortable flowy Cotton Dress – A flowy dress in a breathable fabric will give you so much relief when out, as compared to any tight-fitted dress. Remember, tight-fitted clothes are a big NO for summers. It could be a short dress or a maxi dress depending upon the occasion and mood of the wearer.

2. Evergreen Chikankari Suit or Saree – The most graceful andthe most elegant piece of clothing in any Indian closet is the age-old marvelous chikankari cotton suit or saree. While whites, off-white, and beiges are the first choice, there are many pretty pastel shardes also which one could opt for. Make sure, they are organically dyed, your bit to protect the environment and your skin from harmful chemicals

3. A beautiful Straw Hat or a Scarf – to protect you from the harmful sun rays and add a glam quotient to your outfit. Choose from the beautiful straw hats available in the market

4. Tee and Shorts or Pajama – While at home, a cool organic cotton shirt with shorts or loose pajamas is a perfect choice. Wearing organic clothes does well for you and the environment, so opt for organic clothes.

5.Classic White Linen Shirt– A classic white shirt that can be paired with linen or cotton pants or loose denim. It can also be paired with skirts, again flowy, not straight. You can never go wrong with a crisp white linen shirt, whether heading for a meeting or a casual get together with friends
