THESE EVERYDAY SUMMER SEPARATES ARE YOUR STATEMENT MAKING AVATAR OF THE SEASON

The scorching summer sun is shining upon us (much to our dismay) but fashion is here to our rescue again. We have rounded up a few airy styles from all the summer-favourite brands on our radar who have come up with their own rendition of skin-loving staples:

THE SUMMER HOUSE
Collection after collection, The Summer House from Bengaluru has given us not-so-basic basics to drool over. The Romantics, their latest drop of easy separates, is your thing if you love enhancing your femininity and quiet grace. The collection features fine handwoven Jamdani, Batik dyeing, handspun Khadi and organic voile. The cloudy fabrics will let your skin breathe through in the thick of summer. We adore the Jamdani Drawstring Top which comes in a lovely mustard colour and will look good on all shapes! You can check out the whole collection on their website. Here is our favourite:

Jamdani Drawstring Top | Buy Now
This top full of careful elements consists of a boxy fit, boat neck, dolman sleeves and a drawstring which subtly accentuates the waist. It’s made in Jamdani cotton which is a heritage hand weaving technique of India. The contrast selvedge detail and the unique pattern makes it a piece of wearable art.

EVERLANE
Today every conversation about fashion is laden with the new buzzword ‘sustainability’, and rightly so. But it can often get too overwhelming to make the right choice as a consumer. Everlane makes all of this easy by practising radical transparency in the way they produce and price their products. Recently, they started shipping all of their products to India and we are elated! Their high-quality jumpsuits are a perfect fit of any occasion and super-soft Supima cotton underwear have us hooked. Psst! Also, check out the Form Bag which is a true marvel of Italian luxury and comes in 9 oh-so-pretty shades.

Japanese GoWeave Essential Jumpsuit | Buy Now
This versatile jumpsuit made from a special wrinkle-resistant Japanese GoWeave fabric is perfect for your weekend escapades. The slip-and-go outfit is sturdy enough to hold shape during travel in warm weather. Its drapey look and the removable tie belt make it even more flattering.

ORSEUND IRIS
If anyone knows how to cultivate the cult then it’s hands down Orseund Iris. The non-seasonal label based in New York has been donned by every supermodel in town be it Kylie Jenner, Bella Hadid or Emily Ratajkowski. Inspired by the outmoded practice of corsetry, the brand has given birth to a new genre unto itself: It-Girl dressing. The celebrities and the it-girls aside, the designer is driven by seasonless wearability and less-is-more approach. Their website carries all of their 50 pieces while Net-a-Porter is currently stocking about half of them. Thankfully, both platforms offer free-shipping worldwide over orders of $250. We couldn’t decide on one, so we shortlisted two of our favourite Orseund Iris tops for you.

Limited Edition One Shoulder Tank | Buy Now
A combination of magenta and cherry red with inverted cups in thick knit rib might sound all wrong on paper. But designer Lana Johnson created this Instagram-favourite one shoulder tank top to make jaws drop. The structured boning and the cinched waist do not leave much to the imagination. It might make you feel a bit out of your comfort zone but its mass appeal will have everyone asking you the address of the sexy top.

Night Out Open-Back Blouse | Buy Now
This one is easy on the eyes but not so much on the wallet. Priced at $540, this billowy ruched top comes in champagne and black tones. As the name suggests, it’s perfect for a date night or a party if you want all the eyes to circle back to you. Adjust the tie of this sultry open-back for the perfect fit. The high neck combined with the keyhole cutout from glossy satin lends it an unmistakable ‘80s vibe. Caution: adding this to your wardrobe might just turn up the heat!

GOOD EARTH
Good Earth has now become so reminiscent of Indian luxury that we turn to them every summer for pre-festive styles which are bound to last a lifetime. This season, they have got three concise collections to cater to all our needs. You can choose from Noor which features Chikankari and Mukaish work, Suri composed of Chanderi and Mangalagiri Cottons or the Bollywood-inspired Waheeda. We love how these three collections are fit for different times of the day.

Noor Vashti Sadka Net Dupatta | Buy Now
Rose coloured net with moon motifs all over it, what spells summer romance better than this? This hand-embroidered dupatta with zari and moti work all over is perfect for those lazy Sunday brunches with family. It’s a must-have as it pairs so seamlessly with any white Chikankari Kurta.

Suri Slim Modal Satin Farshi | Buy Now
Summer weddings also mean a lot of Haldi ceremonies to attend this season. While some might be able to pull it off, it has become a cliché to dress up head-to-toe in yellow on an auspicious day! That’s why we have picked out this elasticated Farshi with refreshing floral print over a moss-green satin fabric. The organza trim at the hem is just another example of Good Earth’s considered design. This sequined beauty can jazz up any yellow top from last season.

Waheeda Nadira Chanderi Kurti | Buy Now
Wear this to any summer soirée for that understated yet elegant look. We love the intricate zardozi motifs and the dabka-pitta work on the neckline, sleeves, and hem. The mercerized Chanderi fabric will certainly keep you cool all throughout the evening.

CHLOE
If you are into the whole print-on-print trend then you will love what Chloé has to offer. Their paisley printed bottoms are after our hearts as they are the perfect amalgamation of a bohemian sensibility and Parisian ease. 

Loose Fit Floral Print Silk Trousers | Buy Now
Silk Pyjamas you can wear outside the house? That sounds like our jam! These multicoloured Chloé trousers are quite functional with two side-slit pockets and an elasticated waist. We love that the floor length wide-leg flatters all kinds of figures.

It’s decision time now! Falling in love with all these pieces was rather easy but picking a few is so tough, right?
