Go the linen way

For men, a kurta is the best option — mid-thigh length is popular this season, says Rohit Kamra. But you can also opt for a solid short one and pair it up with a printed or textured jacket. Wear this ensemble with slim-fit breeches, trousers or dhoti pants. "Linen silk is the ideal material to choose as it has the shine of silk and linen that breathes. You can wear slip-on sandals or juttis with this," he says. For women, a traditional saree in lime green, baby pink or aqua blue is what he recommends.
