How to dress for a humid summer

Let's be honest - Mumbai in the middle of Summer can be quite brutal. The humidity doesn't just mess with your hair and makeup, it clings to your clothes, your mood, and sometimes your will to dress up altogether. But fret not! You don't have to sacrifice style for comfort anymore.
If you have ever walked out of the house feeling like a million bucks only to end up looking like a melted popsicle by noon, this one’s especially for you. Here are a few easy and practical ways you can stay cool in humid Mumbai Summer.

Fabrics first

No matter how cute that synthetic top looks, put it back. When it’s hot and sticky, your fabric needs to breathe more than you do in a crowded local train. While cotton is your best friend, linen and mulmul come in second. They are lightweight, soft, and sweat-absorbing.

Give yourself space

Tight skinny jeans? Fitted bodycon dresses? No, thank you. Leave those for the winter. In summer, airflow is your real stylist. Instead go for flowy maxi dresses, oversized shirts, kaftans, palazzos and co-ord sets.

Smart sleeves

Sleeveless doesn't have to be your only option. Sometimes, it’s actually better to go for loose, breathable sleeves that don’t stick to your skin when things get sweaty. Try cap sleeves, puffed sleeves, or flutter sleeves for ventilation.

Colour palette

If you have been living under a rock and don't already know - black absorbs heat. While many of us reach for it like comfort food, let's switch it up this season. Say hello to pastels like mint, lavender, and powder blue. Even neutrals like beige, ivory, and blush work wonders.

No more chunky accessories

Heavy jewellery and sticky wrists? No way. Instead try tiny hoops and studs. Cotton scarves or printed bandanas protect from sun AND add personality to your look.
