Bold Summer Colours & Florals Are In
This summer, vibrant yellows and fiery oranges are lighting up South Asian fashion. In particular, I love that yellow is having it’s moment because it provides an effortless razzle dazzle. In addition, floral prints are timeless, in my opinion, and they add a fresh, fun, and feminine touch that’s perfect for sunny days and or an evening soiree.

Sheer Fabrics Are Essential
Lightweight, sheer fabrics keep you cool and they add an air of elegance to any ensemble that is just effortless. You can easily layer a sheer number over bright colors or an intricate outfit with dazzling embroidery for a more dreamy look or you can throw it over swimwear for an added flare.

Add A Cape For Flair
I can’t resist an outfit with a cape! I love that capes are in this season as they’re the ultimate style statement, in my humble opinion. They’re dramatic and flowy, adding elegance and flair to both casual and formal outfits. You truly cannot go wrong with a cape.

Make A Statement With Your Sleeves
Not everyone is a fan of statement sleeves, but they can truly make an outfit. You’ve got your puffed, bell-shaped, or lace sleeves (to name a few). I just think that a bold sleeve can really make a strong statement and add some drama to an ensemble, turning it from something ordinary to something unforgettable. Who would be mad about that?

Silhouettes With A Twist
