Designers Ridhima Bhasin, Samant Chauhan and Mansi Bhasin, creative head of brand Olbees, share tips on how to plan your summer wardrobe.

* Stick to loose fitting clothes like capes and skirts, so that there is room for your skin to breathe.

* Style yourself in the colour of summer. Shun the sun with eggshell whites and offwhites, wear pleated culottes and pair with a loose fit- asymmetrical cape, pull your hair back in an elegant bun and make sure you use water proof makeup to avoid sweat-smudges.

Wear fun outfits like off-shoulder dresses, crop cape tops, sheer shirts, short-hemmed skirts and shorts. (Shutterstock)

* The heat wave has taken over the city and to be comfortable and stylish at the same time opt for natural breathable and light-weight fabrics like cottons. Avoid wearing silks and bulky fabrics. Cottons and natural fibres like khadi should be your go-to fabrics.

* Try wearing outfits that will not cling to your body. Go for anti-fit long but structured blouse with palazzo pants as it’s an ideal outfit for the day and will keep your style quotient up.

* Summer is the perfect time to show off some skin, so don’t be afraid to do so. Make sure you have your sunscreen on and wear fun outfits like off-shoulder dresses, crop cape tops, sheer shirts, short-hemmed skirts and shorts.
