For Indian wear
Pastel colours, especially chalky pastels are always soothing and when paired with white, beige or blue, work for formal wear. You can also wear pastel accessories. Indian fabrics such as mul mul, khadi or any cotton are great for summers as handwoven fabrics let your skin breathe. Saris can be worn with T-shirts or slightly loose and light blouses. Remove the churi from your churidars and opt for loose pencil trousers or cropped pajama salwars beneath your kurtas.
