Summers are filled with sunshine, warm and fresh colours, blossoms, and lest we forget, lots of ice-\u00a0cream and cool mocktails<\/a>. Spring-summer fashion heralds a cheerful season and the trends across the world are no\u00a0different. Offering\u00a0a blooming assortment of cuts, colours, textures and fabrics for all ages, this is a season that truly\u00a0celebrates fashion.<\/p>\n

Summer Flair<\/h2>\n

While neon takes a back seat, summer is full of blooming bright shades. As designers at Peppermint\u00a0Diva, an Indian and fusion fashion brand, put it, \u201cFrom amber and canary to saffron and marigold,\u00a0there is a shade of yellow for everyone. The trick is figuring out your skin\u2019s undertone, then finding\u00a0the hue that best complements it.\u201d Other glowing summer shades include indigo blues, peach and\u00a0orange, candyfloss pink, and the like. But if minimalist style is more your thing, this season also\u00a0pays homage to understated cuts in shades of white, ivory, and beige. Balancing the two spectrum\u00a0of colours, black and white, is both elegant and chic\u2014combine it with accessories in colours like\u00a0crimson\u00a0or royal blue.<\/p>\n

When it comes to ethnic wear, our sweltering summers make it necessary to switch to lighter\u00a0fabrics. Traditional textiles, khadi, and linen are perfect for summer along with timeless cottons.\u00a0Invest in chanderis and kotas and opt for light embellishments in fabrics. \u201cDraped and pre-stitched\u00a0sarees with corset blouses and peplum jackets are a rage this season,\u201d say Peppermint Diva\u00a0designers who also suggest pairing embellished jackets and coats with anarkali instead of dupattas.\u00a0Prints work for both Western and Indian clothing. Stripes, geometric patterns, and polka dots are\u00a0trending along with timeless florals. Opt for loose bohemian dresses inspired by the seventies style,\u00a0skirts and cropped tops, and loose salwar\u00a0kurtas. Pantsuits make a great statement for evenings and long gowns spell easy elegance.<\/p>\n

Gentlemen\u2019s Club<\/h2>\n

For this season, Priyanka Chokhani, co-founder of 16stitches.com, has one mantra\u2014going retro.\u00a0\u201cPrints and plaids are going to be the flavour of spring-summer 2015. Whether it means bright\u00a0contrast fabrics (inside the collar, cuffs, and placket) or contrasting buttonholes on a basic solid\u00a0shirt, the old-school trend is back in vogue.\u201d For evenings, summer suits make for a comfortable\u00a0choice\u2014try a bandhgala instead of the usual suit. Even better, stick to kurta-pyjamas\u00a0in cotton or mal and top with a colourful sleeveless bandhgala and pocket square.<\/p>\n

When it comes to colours, the season promises to be as multi-hued for men as it is for women. Men\u00a0conventionally stick to shades of blue and lavender. Change it to include turquoise, chartreuse, mint\u00a0green, peach, and summery brights. Linen and poplins are the go-to fabrics for the season. Denims\u00a0are one of summer\u2019s hottest trends, but make sure you look for a light season-appropriate version of\u00a0the fabric.<\/p>\n

Fashion\u2019s Little Royals<\/h2>\n

Fashion visuals and a bouquet of brands that specialise exclusively in children\u2019s clothing now\u00a0ensure that fashion is even on the minds of young ones.\u00a0\u201cSummers are meant for dressing up and young tots are not far behind when it comes to fashion\u00a0these days,\u201d says Meena Bindra, chairperson, Biba, which has a sub-brand dedicated to young girls.\u00a0\u201cSpring-summer brings with it a lot of bright shades of pinks, peaches, sage, and lime along with\u00a0hints of neon in light and breathable fabrics like cotton.\u201d Bindra recommends long, flowing gowns,\u00a0patialas, dresses, jumpsuits, tunics, and skirts with delicate detailing for young girls this season.<\/p>\n

Young boys\u2019 wardrobes can be arranged taking a cue from men\u2019s trends, and adapted to their\u00a0smaller sizes in summery fabrics. For special occasions, add accessories such as a bow-tie and\u00a0suspenders to a simple shirt-and- trousers combo for adding a fun element to the look. Shorts, chinos\u00a0and light denims, and graphic or superhero-inspired T-shirts\u2014in shades like red, yellow, or blue,\u00a0along with basic colours\u2014will see your little boys through the casual days of summer.<\/p>\n
