Summer Rescue!

It's getting brighter, temperatures are soaring high day by day and people are finding way's to keep themselves cool. 

From fresh fruit juices to AC rooms, we do it all to keep ourselves cool. But even what to wear, what not to wear "IN SUMMERS" is what one needs to know, cause not just the right fabric can keep you cool but it is also the right color and the right cut that will make up for d irresistible heat.
Summer Color Palette

Colour palettes in summer is all mixed match with pastels and neutrals. Obviously one does know the cool color and the warm color funda but i'd still like to discuss in brief green's and blues are cool colours cause they do give a soothing and calming effect to our eyes thats why we have these color's usually at pools and hospitals while reds and oranges are warm colors adding hot, alert  or d look at me effect to our eyes thus the danger signal. Neutral color are the earthy tones beige, browns and obviously BLACK n WHITE are called as shades. Likewise, in our mood board you'l help your summer wardrobe look peppy and colourful. Seagreens, Mint Green, Leaf Green, Lime Green, in blues you can go for all the lighter tones like teal, sky blue, cerulean blue, navy's,turquoise, Lilac's, Light Yam, Strawberry, Candy Pink, Soft pinks will define and add the required oomph and  warmth. In earthy tones, Mustard yellows, Light Beige's in all color's, Light Yellow, Sand Color, Brown's is all that will look awesome. Do remember the science, that shades of black and darker tones making the outfit blacker look awesome but they have a tendency to warm up soon in the scorching sun and make you feel hot while tints of white and pastels reflects back the sun and thus you feel cooler.

What fabric you wear is also equally important. Summer Fabrics should be the one's which are anti sweat, or cooling, or breathable fabrics that allow the maximum amount of air through them so the body feels cooler. The most common natural fabric that is known for its breath ability is cotton. its breathable qualities come from its porous fibers. Cotton fibers are hollow in the center, allowing them to absorb perspiration and release it quickly. This not only allows air to pass through the fibers, but also keeps the body cool by drying perspiration. Because of its porous nature, cotton also easily accepts dye, and many varieties are actually stronger when wet. Cotton varieties and weaves include flannel, gauze, gingham, muslin, sailcloth, sateen, terry cloth and velveteen. Locally we have Mul's, Dobby, Chambric's. Other than cotton, Linen is also best summer fabric but is an expensive variant. Linen is used in clothing for its durability and breathability. It is two to three times stronger than cotton and a better conductor of heat, making it the most breathable fabric available. It is also easily cared for and incredibly lightweight. Wicking fabrics are man-made fabrics designed to relieve the body of perspiration by “wicking” moisture away from the body and speeding up the evaporation process, thus keeping the body at a stable temperature. These fabrics are most commonly used in athletic or specific outdoor clothing, and they help keep the body cool during activity. Thats why we have anti-sweat, quick-dri in Sport Wear. Avoid wearing Synthetics and Silk, cause that will heat u up and make you sweat even  more.
What to wear and what not wear for summer purely depends on fabric and color. Yes, Loose fitted garments are perfect so things like, Cotton/ Linen Pyjama's, Cotton pants, Shorts, Cargo's, Gypsy Skirts go well this season. Slightly Loose fitted Cotton Kurti's, Cotton/ Linen Shirts and Top's or Jersey's.. Remember we have hell lot of accessories to protect ourselves from sun, ofcorse SPF is a major factor but other than that, smart mul scarf's with tribal prints or anything that goes with your outfit looks great. From aviators to wayfarer's you can sport the current trend in Shades to protect your eyes from UV rays. Remember to wear original Polaroid shades only. Cap's/Hat's/Bandhana's can protect your hair from loosing its sheen and texture to the heat and also keep your head from warming up due to heat.




Breathable footwear is very important this season as you sweat more, your feet get moist, your sock's soak them and eek's they start stinking.. Wear Loafer's, Gladiator's, Simple Breathable Flat Slip-on's.. But keep in mind, like clothes let even your footwear breathe.
