The 5 Best Fabrics To Look For When Buying Kurtis And Tunics For Summer

Summer style is all about keeping it simple and effortless, while still looking presentable. I’ve said it before,I’ll say it again — dressing for summer can be quite simple, and having a fair share of stylish kurtis and tunics in your closet just makes it that much easier. Take for example, Sara Ali Khan, Alia Bhatt, and Jahnvi Kapoor, they’ve served a good kurti and pants look every once in a while (even at the airport). But summer dressing goes beyond just the choice of clothing, the fabric matters too! Yes, you can’t expect to wear a nylon shirt out in this weather and not perspire. With an array of kurti designs and stylish tunics, you’re bound to find something that meets your needs. While the scorching heat and humidity can make it difficult to find anything suitable to wear, certain fabrics can help one look and feel comfortable even in these temperatures. But the most important thing (and I swear by this) is to opt for breathable fabrics; because you don’t want to feel like a drenched mess before the day even begins, right? So I did some digging and listed out the 5 best fabrics that you need to have in your summer closet. Read on to check it out before your next summer shopping trip.

Cotton

Most of my summer outfit ideas revolve around this fabric, because this is one I can’t do without. It’s comfortable, highly breathable, and durable – it’s basically everything you need your summer clothes to be. Cotton can be considered the most versatile fabric of all as it can be woven or knitted and mixed with other fabrics to create blends that will help you achieve the desired look. And while there is no dearth of stylish cotton kurtis and tunics out there, here’s the ones we love.

Linen

Second on my list of fabrics to survive summer is linen. The most commonly used fabric in the fashion industry, linen is a loosely woven fabric known for its lightweight and highly absorbent nature; it dries quickly and helps you stay cool as a cucumber all day long. Does this make you look for linen kurti and tunic designs for your summer wardrobe? Here’s some recommendations from us!

Chambray

It may look like denim because of the way this fabric is woven, but is much lighter and softer. Ideal for summers, it is typically made of tightly woven cotton. Swap those denim bottoms with a chambray alternative for this season, and experience the breathable comfort of this fabric for yourself. But chambray is not just limited to being a substitute for denims; here’s some kurtis and tunics in the same fabric to check out.

Khadi

Sabyasachi Mukherjee has been using this skin-friendly fabric for years and this coarse cotton fabric has been making its way into many designers’ collections now. It not only keeps the body cool and feels light, it is also a sustainable fabric. The unique quality of khadi is that it can be worn both in summer and winter, making it a great investment for your wardrobe. Add these stylish khadi kurtis and tunics to your closet.

We recommend

Poplin

Ideal for the summer months, poplin fabric feels comfortable to the touch and is highly breathable making it the go-to choice of many for this season. Another reason why we love poplin for summers is because of its durability, owing to its tighter weave. Make space for these poplin kurtis and tunics in your closet.
