Ditch The Cruel Summer Heat: 8 Breezy & Flowy Summer Outfits Ideas

A total no-brainer and our personal favourite are our summer dresses. They are easily available, come in all different shapes, sizes, and budgets, and are just so flattering. Dresses are bound to be everywhere, especially with the coquette trend being huge this year, where bows and floral patterns were pasted all over the internet. The best part is that almost every brand has its take on a summer dress; you can check out Twenty Dresses, Cover Story, Fuga, Lipsy, The Summer House, Summer Somewhere, and Label Reyya to score some absolutely gorgeous pieces. 

Pro-tip: If you're looking for floral prints done as beautifully as Zimmermann but on a budget, then check out these alternatives.

Fairy skirts have been all over our feeds, and we bet yours have too. They seem to be the new summer uniform and are quite appropriate for the season while also looking whimsical and pretty. They're versatile pieces that can easily be thrifted and styled in a zillion ways! Some of our favourite styling options are with vests, tube tops, and tank tops.

The gingham print is slowly and steadily taking over the internet, and we have a hunch that we will be seeing it a lot during the season. It's bright, fun, and just very summery! You can get yourself co-ord sets or pair them with your plain tank tops and elevate them with accessories. They are easy to style, and they would come in really handy on the days when you are struggling to find a cute fit. 

Co-ord sets are a life saviour for days when no fit seems to be giving and are an absolute staple of summer. Choose bright, breezy, cotton co-ord sets that make an effortless statement. While you can find all sorts of styles, we'd recommend going with a staple shirt and shorts co-ord set in cotton or linen that's comfortable and breathable. For an Indo-Western vibe, go for an Indian print. Some of our favourite brands are Autumnlane, trueBrowns, and The Ordinaree.

Kurtas and jeans can never go out of style. They are the perfect amalgamation of chic, effortless, and super pretty. We have been seeing cotton chikankari kurtas resurfacing as soon as the temperature shot up. This look is comfortable, stylish, pocket-friendly and makes for a perfect everyday 'fit. We recommend styling them with wide-legged jeans for maximum comfort during the summer.

We can't make a list of summer outfit ideas and not dwell on the importance of finding a good pair of linen pants for yourself. Versatility is an understatement with these because you can style them with almost anything, be it crop tops, t-shirts, oversized shirts, and, of course, the talk of the hour—vests. Especially for our corporate folks, you need to have a sturdy pair of linen pants in your closet. Waistcoats have got an upgrade this season and we don’t see the trend dying anytime soon.

We share a deep love for oversized shirts, and you need to get one for yourself if you don't already have one. We've been seeing bright-coloured striped oversized shirts a lot recently, too! They are perfect for layering your outfit while still keeping it breezy; just make sure you opt for breathable fabrics like cotton. We'd highly suggest styling them with your linen pants, jeans, or shorts.

This summer, the 'It' pants of the season are going to be parachute pants, and we are more than excited about this. They are baggy, do not stick to the body, and are summer-weather-approved. They act as a solid building block for a range of outfits and styles, looking perfectly breezy and chic to run errands around town. Style them with off-shoulder crop tops, t-shirts, and more.
