Your 7 day Lookbook in White for This Summer

It’s summer already and we want to talk about the biggest fashion trend of this year: White. Whites have been loved unconditionally no matter what. This Summer/Spring also, it’s about whites but in a chic and subtle way. Confused? In easy words, it’s about keeping it simple. Instead of dressing up in what screams “look at me”, this season gear up in pristine hues of white that bring out the angelic side of you. It seems pretty simple since what can go wrong in styling something as neutral as white right? Well, for one, the absence of any color means you have to pay extra attention to the pieces you are putting together and if they complement each other well. Worry not, because we have brought you 7 desi looks for your week that you can easily pull off.

Indo western dresses have certainly taken up the main stage over the last few months and no wonder why. These are casually cool and look very chic paired with a statement neckpiece or earrings in oxidized metal. Prepared mostly in hand block prints, Indo western dresses are definitely going to be in for long this year. Find the pattern that suits you best: be it scattered prints, prints all over or tie-n-dye. Since these are usually made to ankle length, you can add a sporty cool element to these by finishing up with white sneakers.

While we are talking about Indo westerns, let’s not forget about the very modern rendition of the salwar kameez: kurta paired with pants. What makes these different? Well, you don’t have to struggle about with a dupatta and there are so many ways you can play with this style. Pair a white short kurti with matching palazzos or throw on a long kurta in white over a pair of matching capri or trousers. You can play with tones of white too. Mix in two contrast hues like ivory and snow white, the difference will be subtle but noticeable which will make your look all the more sophisticated and edgy. Pair with traditional jhumkas, bracelets and jootis for that desi touch.

It’s time to embrace prints with fully hand block printed salwar kameez. However, instead of sticking to the traditional salwar and kameez pattern, switch to contemporary options. Ditch the usual A line kameez and try layered silhouettes like jacketed kurta. Pair it with a palazzo, parallels or straight cut trousers for a chic formal look. Pair with smart minimalistic jewels like a single strand chain and low-key drop earrings. Complete the look with plain leather or shimmery flats.

It’s time to bring your denims out! There is nothing that can go wrong with a kurti and ripped jean. This is a shift from the white on white look. Take a printed white kurti and throw it over your favorite pair of blue denims. If you want to stick to the white on white look, you can pair a slit white kurta with white denims and finish it off with neon flats or pumps.

We have talked about dresses but did we mention maxi dresses? Yes, these are still in so make the best of it this summer while the trend lasts. Look for plain dresses with woven in detail or self-designed textures with a little pop of color to give the otherwise plain silhouette a kick. Pair with classic chandelier earrings and strappy heels.

For the last day of the week, go to our classic favorite: Anarkali salwar kameez. No, we aren’t saying goodbye to the Anarkali yet. A sober number like this one is perfect for your evening get together that has the perfect amount of color with a beautifully embroidered yoke and contrasting dupatta in royal blue. Finish your look with a simple bun and chandbali earrings along with heels.

Sunday is your excuse to drape the much loved saree for that luncheon you have been waiting to go to. This subtle white saree with beige printed blouse and lace detail is your pick. Completed with sleek hair or beachy waves along with statement earrings and a smart clutch purse, this look will live in the hearts of onlookers for a long time.
