If laziness is the chief feeling experienced during winters, irritation has got to be it during summers. It's in the season of summer that the temperatures are running uncomfortably high and our tempers are constantly tested. No wonder our tolerance for unnecessary hassle is at an all-time low. Even those who otherwise put elaborate effort into dressing their best every day, can't help but wish to slip into something fuss-free and cool during these hot months of the year.
In my opinion, no garment can be as easy-going, especially during these sweltering days, as a simple cotton Kurti. Understated and classic, cool and easy-going, a pretty Kurti in a breezy fabric is the best seasonal fashion hack to keeping your calm and sticking to your style all at once! But before you say it, I will, my summer ethnic closet is also in dire need of a fresh update. So, how about we do it together? To start off with, check out these 10 kurtas for women I found online and bookmarked immediately!
