Essential pieces to invest in for a stylish summer wardrobe!

Summer is here, and it's time to shine! We've gathered insights from five fashion influencers - Khushi Rathod, Aryan Nalawade, Harsh Arora, Arushi Handa, and Vriddhi Patwa on the must-have pieces to uplift your style this summer season..

Khushi Rathod believes that summer is all about carefree glam and effortless chic. To achieve this look, she recommends starting with the essentials: gold jewellery. Nothing complements sun-kissed skin quite like the warm shine of gold. “This summer, it's all about layering delicate rings with chunky statement pieces and mixing textures like hammered gold, seashell ornaments, or crystal details.” she suggests. Waist chains are also a favourite this season; wear them over swimwear or let them peek through a low-rise skirt for a hint of glam. Sequined tops and skirts are another must-have, perfect for festivals and beach parties. Pair them with high-waisted shorts or flowing skirts for a balanced look!

Aryan Nalawade suggests swapping the basic tee for an open-weave knit polo - textured, breathable, and luxe. He says, “it's the kind of detail that makes even a simple fit look expensive.” Crossbody and utility bags are also a must-have, adding structure and edge to your look. Go for modular styles in neutral or earthy tones for that curated, fashion-forward feel. Terrycloth caps are definitely another great addition to your summer wardrobe, adding instant poise and pairing surprisingly well with both streetwear and resort fits. Wide-leg trousers are also a great option, offering freedom, style, and a modern edge.


Harsh Arora's take on summer fashion includes investing in lightweight denim jackets, perfect for layering over T-shirts or shirts. Pastel-coloured sneakers are another great option, adding a pop of colour to your outfit. Oversized linen shirts are also a great choice, breathable and stylish. Harsh says, “To complete the look, consider adding some stylish accessories like a woven or straw hat, and a pair of aviator sunglasses.”

Arushi Handa's top picks for summer include denim jorts, which are both comfy and fashionable. Wide-leg pants are another versatile option, perfect for any occasion. Pair them with anything from formal to casual tops, and you'll be dressed to impress. Arushi says, “Dad sandals are a great alternative to heels, providing both support and style. I personally love them!” Tank tops are a summer essential, and pairing them with shorts, skirts, or flowy maxis is a great way to stay cool and stylish. A good pair of sunglasses is much needed, elevating any outfit with minimal effort.

Vriddhi Patwa believes that everyone should have at least one sequin glitter skirt in their wardrobe this summer. A white tank top is also a great investment, as it pairs well with everything. She suggests, “For footwear, floral flip flops and colorful heels are making a comeback.” A small bag that only fits the essentials is also a great addition to your summer wardrobe, adding a touch of grace to any outfit.
