How to rock summers in a stylish way!
What do you love the most about summers?
Definitely, not the weather! But this
torrid climate surely allows one to
experiment with so many styles and attires. One can easily be boho to preppy as
the season allows you to get into the
skin of your look. Yes, summers are all
about style in shorts and skirts, and girls just love to go overboard. However,
there’s a lot more to summer
dresses for women. Without waiting much,
let’s decode the best of fashion this Spring/Summer 2015.
Warning: Don’t get carried away, girls!
Skater
dresses – be lady like
Skater dresses are simply ooh la la! Be it fit-and-flared, pleated, with
frills or in aligned silhouettes, it looks good on petite girls as well as a
bit curvy girls. It can be party wear as well as casual wear. Team it up with nice necklaces in beads and chain. When it
comes to footwear, your flip-flops and flats will also look lovely, and you will
thank yourself for trying this look.
Shift
dresses – smart as well as chic
Shift your focus to shift dresses, and you
will love the idea. The shift dresses are perfect for girls who struggle to
keep their waist size in shape. Since shift doesn’t
streamline in the middle, it looks wow on any body shape.
Jersey
dresses – bold and beautiful
Jersey dresses are kinda maxi dresses but are more lightweight
because of the fabric they are made of.
Girls who love to flaunt their bold side are happy to sport it during summers.
Team it up with denim jackets and shrugs and look feminine and chic.
Culottes
– the new wave of the season
The season may be high on shorts and denims, but the newest trend to grip the style
world is the easy-breezy culottes. The retro style of divided skirts from the ‘70s is back with a bang, and everyone is
wearing it with élan including Victoria Beckham. With their semi-formal yet
lovingly casual look, culottes look best with crop tops and shirts. Call it
crop culottes or simply culottes; it can
revamp your summer wardrobe.
Maxi
skirts – playful is the way of styling
Maxi skirt
has come as a boon for Indian females who are heavier at the bottom. The style not only suits curves, but also
sits well on a lean frame adding weight and flair. Maxis are simple, easy to
carry and again can be worn in many
styles. One can go for gypsy to formal as
well as resort to semi-formal look. If you are a rebel enough then maxis with
boots could be also your style. This
summer, try maxi skirt and even dress if
not anything.
Pleated
skirts – be the sunny, preppy one
Unleash the sunshine school girl in you and
go for summery pleated skirts. The style
is in, and it has nothing to do with your
age. When Kajol can do it with aplomb, so can you. Try colors like white,
yellow and even prints. Pairing it with crop tops and shirts is the best
option. Go for sneakers or shoes if being preppy
is your way, otherwise a nice pair of stilettoes or pumps can do full justice
to your attire, making you look all prim and propah – all set to steal the
show.
Long
kurtis and cotton maxi attires – let the desi in you shine
The fusion of long kalidaar kurtis and maxi
attires works very well with Indian females who try to strike a boho or desi
look. What’s more! Any girl, plump or petite, can go for this style. Have a
look at this Sangria cotton dress available online at Jabong.com and you will
love it.
Now, you have many options to try out this
summer. While crop tops, shorts, ripped jeans, flowy tops, mid-length kurtis and churidars
are common outfits, go for styles that
can make you look hip and different in the sea of well-dressed girls. Always
remember, as said by the celebrated designer Yves Saint Laurent: “Dressing is a
way of life”. Embrace a new side of yourself and dress-up well as it brings a
stunning confidence in you, making you smile, always. Make hay while the sun
shines.
