Now that summer is here in all its glory, all we can do is think of new ways to grin and wear it, sorry, sorry, I meant, bear it. But you must’ve caught my drift. Yes, my lovelies, this article is all about giving you cool fashion ideas, that will help you keep your calm in this searing heat.

While I frequently find myself staring at my closet, whining about the dearth of outfit options every time I have to get dressed up, it becomes almost a routine during the summers. If a particular outfit does appeal to me, I often have to forgo it because it’s just not practical enough (the fabric is not breathable, or it doesn’t cover my body completely to protect it from sunburn). And these problems are not unique to me, rather they are faced by almost every man and woman in our forever sunny, tropical country.

But worry not, we have compiled a list of fun and fashionable summer outfit ideas which will have you braving the sun in a super cool way. Here they are:

1. Be The Boho Chick

Summer is all about frolicking in the sun and taking one day at a time. This fun, free-spirited combo of a flared skirt and a crop top, captures this spirit in the best way possible. You can accessorize this outfit with a small handbag of your choice, or you can even go for a cross-body bag.
