5 natural fabrics to style this summer

Summer is here with its unbearable heat, but it also brings in the little joys of relishing a popsicle, drinking ice-cold lemonades to quench our thirst and getting an afternoon nap in a chilled room. Its the season we value comfort over everything including our fashion choices and style.

While the silhouettes get wider and fits become oversized, the most important aspect of comfortable clothing in summer is the choice of fabrics. Fabrics that are lightweight, breathable materials that are easy to wear and style. In a country like India, where the heat can be intense, choosing the right fabric can make all the difference. Here are our top 5 summer fabrics to style this season
