Is there an ideal wardrobe for surviving a heatwave in?
How do you dress/undress to navigate a fiery 39-40°C Indian summer without becoming a damp, steamy rag everyone feels sorry for?
Cottons. Linens. Nothing else, please.
Loose, loose, kapda. Sticky, figure-hugging stuff has gotta take a hike and come back in the monsoon. The colour black needs to be shown the door, told to flee jhatpat and also find cooler climes.
Bright whites. Lemon yellows. Florals. Cut-outs to let in the hawa.
Hats. Sandals. Crop tops. Shorts. Breezy dresses.
Sounds a lot like actor Sanjana Sanghi's summer dressing.
Always attired in fresh, earthy tones and the season's most comfy and versatile styles, she mostly looks as cool as a kakdi.
