1. Beautiful summer hues:

Chanderi fabric is available in an array of colors - from bright shades to heartwarming pastels. If you are looking for the most LOVED colors for the summer season - Light colored Chanderi sarees in light blues, greens, yellows look refreshing and also keep the overall look cool and heartwarming in the hot weather. 

2. Breathable fabric:

Chanderi material is usually a blend of cotton or silk with zari (a gold thread). For summers, chanderi cotton materials are super comfortable for summers and breathable. The traditional pure silk fabrics are much suitable for winters.

3. Minimalist design and embroidery:

Chanderi Sarees are known for their natural sheen, intricate embroidery and embellishments that don’t feel so heavy or uncomfortable in summers. The beautiful motifs on the fabric - usually inspired by elements of nature like flowers, trees, peacocks or birds elevate the overall look. The minimalist embroidery and motifs add elegance to the saree without weighing it down. 

4. Accessorize:

While the Chanderi fabric in itself is very graceful, if one pairs it with a stunning piece of  jewellery - from a simple neck piece, a bracelet to a beautiful pair of earrings, studs,  or a cocktail ring, it only adds to your overall look.  Vintage Jewellery goes pretty well with the delicate texture of Chanderi. A simple clutch or a handbag will also be a nice choice!

Special tips to overcome the Indian ethnic wear summer woes: 

The beautiful summers are here! Do you love wearing Indian ethnic but simply avoid it because they make you feel hot, humid and uncomfortable most of the time? Well, if you choose the right fabrics and style, you can ace your Indian look. 

  • Comfort is key but you can always carry it in style by pairing it with a dupatta or playing around with the sleeves or the neck. Wearing simple accessories can also do wonders in accentuating the look. 
  • Choose lightweight fabrics - Fabrics like cotton, linen and chiffon allow air to circulate keeping you cool and comfortable.
  • Light but bright colours: While you choose lightweight fabrics, you can go for bold colours for summers. Pastel shades also look splendid. 
  • Keep it simple yet classy, ALWAYS. 
  • It all comes down to the footwear - Choose the right footwear so you are not tired at the end of the day. Pretty flats or comfortable heels always go well with Indian outfits. And if it's a grand celebration, you can also consider  handcrafted sneakers. 
  • Hydration is the number one rule to beat the summer blues - Drink lots of water and fluids, glowing skin and a happy mood :)
