Come summer time and all we can think of is sipping on lemonade, by a pool, near a beach. It is also the perfect time to shed all those excess layers and go light as a feather to seize the sunny skies and cool breeze with ease. That’s why it is important, as the seasons transition; to make the shift from the heavy, chunkier pieces and products of the season to the light, airy and weightless vibes of summer.
 

Make the switch to lighter fabrics

Wrap up your knits, flannels and woollens and put them at the back of your closet. This season favour cotton and linen, a no-brainer when it comes to battling the drenching heat of the season. Not only are both fabrics highly absorbent in nature but they also allow your body to breathe easily as well. Cottons and linens also have a far superior finish compared to other fabrics, making them stand apart.

 

Let your skin breathe with weightless coverage

The summer certainly has its high points but the humidity definitely isn’t one of it, which is why our skin longs for natural coverage that sits light on our skin. Hence, we’re turning to the Lakmé 9 to 5 Weightless Mousse Foundation. While it delivers that flawless coverage that we’ve always desired, the foundation sits lightly on the skin, without weighing it down or making your face look cakey. With its matte finish and effortless blending ability, we’re sure this one’s going to become our summer staple.

More often than not, we hardly end up using everything that we jam-pack into our massive handbags but yet we continue to lug them around. Well, no more. This summer, ditch the unnecessary pouches and receipts that you never require and choose a crossbody bag instead. Perfect for your essentials like keys, cash and cellphone with space for a little more, a crossbody bag is the right choice to lighten your load and as a stylish accessory as well.

 

Turn it up with an updo

You’ve played with your mane aplenty during the season that was but now it is time to put the heat styling tools away and go in for a hair detox. But if you fear that having your hair down will bring down your look as well, think again. Summer is the right time to work that simple updo without worrying about any damage. From braids to simple twists, there are so many options to choose from! Opt for something that will allow your your hair to breathe easy while looking hella good!

 

Make pastels your pick

Make pastels your pick

Leave behind the dark, dreary shades of winter and opt for lighter tones instead. Take a note from the Pantone colours of 2016 and incorporate delicately toned pastels in your look. Not only are the subtle pastel hues easy on the eyes but their ability to reflect light, will keep you feeling as cool as a summer breeze!
