Fuse ethnic with western pieces smartly

New Delhi: Wondering how to revamp your closet this summer? Try to get your hands on kurtis to complement summer-friendly palazzos or Farshi pants.

Meena Bindra, chairperson, BIBA, shares what to pick this season:

Fabrics:

* Breathable fabrics like cotton and linen silhouettes are winners when it comes to summer season. 

Prints

* Bright and quirky prints, understated and exquisite hand embroideries in dual tones will certainly make you a diva.

* For special occasions, opt for subtle gold prints on the waistband or team up a pastel shade kurti with gold dupatta to give you that elegant chic look.

* Going overboard with bling is a big no-no while minimal is the true calling for the season.

Colours

* White is definitely a safe and stylish bet.

* Experiment with pink, orange, emerald green, lime, turquoise, deep red and peach along with pastels like powder pink and silky mauve.

Cuts

* Clean, asymmetrical cuts, long slits, extensive flare in crinkled fabrics are the 'in trends' this summer for tops, tunics and kurtis.

* Straight cut kurtis coupled with complementing sheer panels are good too. 

Kurta or kurtis

* Double layered and high slit kurtis are in vogue this season.

Chic bottom wears

* Team up the kurtis with palazzos, Farshi pants or even flared culottes.
