Dress up summer

- SAJE SANDHU

Given the amount of sun and heat in hot months in India, summer dresses are incredibly comfortabl­e, light and airy. Summer is a season that allows you to play with colours and prints. Summer dresses can go from mini dresses to maxi dresses and everything in between.

It is no longer the norm to dress in conservati­ve colours at night. So ladies, believe it or not, one can get away by wearing a bright colourful summer dress in the evening too. Before stepping out in the evening put your LBDS aside and pick up a colourful summer dress.

Florals and artistic brush stroke, mixing and matching prints is really in. For solid colours, go for pastels, tangerine orange, bright green, lemon yellow, and show your fun side.

Floppy hats from 1970’s are really in. Not only will they shield you from the sun, but also add to your summer look. Invest in some colourful belts that you can layer on top of your dress to provide additional definition of your waist and add dimension to your summer dress.

Use contrastin­g colours if you’re a bit more daring. For example, use a fun orange belt with a sea blue dress. Pick up a printed wedge heel.

Jewellery can turn your daytime summer dress into an evening look. So invest in some danglers and bracelets to pull together your outfit. Make sure that you choose dresses you are comfortabl­e in. Nothing is sexier than a woman who is confident in the clothes she is in. The writer is a designer and has her label SAJE
