30 Breezy Summer Outfits for Women: Must Try the Combo

Warm and sunny days are here at last, and while the prospect of ditching the sweat and winter bulk is undoubtedly exciting, our collective seasonal dilemma also begins: What to wear?

 

A solid rotation of go-to dresses, stylish loungewear, and comfortable shorts—though not too casual—is a must. Let's browse through these 30 gorgeous summer outfits for women to rock this year!

 

Casual summer ouftits 

 

1. Cargo Pants & basic white top

Cargo pants with a basic white top are the perfect choice to greet the summer. Featuring grey cargo pants with a white tee and golden jewellery. Wear your collared tee slightly above your waistline, and throw on a minimal accessory like a pair of hoops or a sleek rose gold necklace with a pendant and a shoulder bag to complete the look.

2. Oversized graphic tee, cycling shorts & sneakers 

Cycling shorts are already trending, and considering the continuing prominence of athleisure fashion, we don't see them going anywhere. So make the most of this clothing style by coupling it with an oversized graphic tee and a pair of white sporty sneakers. Congrats, you're summer-ready in a jiffy!

3. Muscle tee with paper bag denim shorts & gold link chain 

One of the most vogue casual summer outfits, combining a solid muscle tee with a pair of denim shorts is timeless. Adding some 2022 fashion elements into the picture, we'd suggest pairing paper bag denim shorts with a cinched high waist. Casual, hipster and laid-back summer fashion unlocked.

4. Sleeveless polka dot co-ords 

Co-ordinates have been another raging trend lately, and we've seen so many takes of this top and bottom look. It doesn't get better than a breezy set of co-ords as your welcome back summer outfit if you ask us. We've pinned this one of the most elegant casual summer outfit ideas with a bralette top that boasts ruffles at the sleeves and tie-up detailing at the hem matching a mini skirt adorned in polka dots.

5. Plunge-neck corduroy jumpsuit with striped tee

Relaxed and eye-catchy, this summer outfit for women sums up the vibe we'd want to embody in our fashion choices in 2022. We love the idea of carrying a plunge-neck jumpsuit for daytime looks by throwing it on top of a t-shirt in a complementary shade. It's a casual summer outfit to wear to work, for coffee with your best friend, or the grocery store on weekends.

6. Tie-up romper with half bell sleeves 

Now that we've seen loungewear and PJs incorporated into practically every outfit, whether casual attire for running errands or an outfit you can wear to work, we expect the trend to continue. This is why we dig the romper so much. It makes for an uber-cool summer casual outfit for a late brunch with a gang of girls or a lunch date with your beau. And with the addition of the right accessories and makeup, it can just as effortlessly become a perfect party look!

7. High waist flared jeans with a crop top 

The trend for the summer season is all about wearing pants. Pair them up with a cute pair of strappy sandals or a black crop top and add a bag to complete the look. This outfit will keep you looking stylish and save you from the chilling effects of air conditioning.

8. Midi tent dress with puffed sleeves 

Tent dresses will be one of the most raved about summer styles in 2022, thanks to the growing preference for blending comfort with fashion. Just scroll through Westside if you don't believe us. Pair the dress with combat boots, sneakers, sliders or flip-flops, and choose your accessories accordingly.

9. Printed wrap around skirt with graphic tee 

We think a graphic tee is one of the most effortless hacks to make a statement with your attire without saying much. In this look, a graphic tee is paired with a wrap-around skirt dotted with animal prints that features an asymmetrical hemline with a front slit for your legs.

10. Pastel joggers with white top & sneakers 

We go with athleisure again, but if you want to stay under the spotlight in summer 2022, you must take a gander at one of the biggest fashion fads in recent times. We love casual summer outfits that include a pair of bright, baggy joggers. Here it's shown with a white fitted knit tank top, a pair of white sneakers and some minimalistic gold accessories. Feel free to switch the top with what appeals to you. How about a boxy crop top with quarter-sleeves or a silk-lace camisole?

Indian outfits for women 

 

1. Sleeveless kurti & lace-hemmed palazzos in floral hand-block print 

Easy ethnic wear is one of our go-to summer looks for when we want to stay cool. Breathable materials and breezy silhouettes are two defining qualities to consider while picking ethnic summer clothes for your wardrobe.

2. Strappy empire waist tunic & straight-leg trousers

If you asked me to recommend Indian outfits ideal for women in summer, this duo instantly comes to mind. A strappy empire waist tunic, with a strip belt under the bust, is coupled with a matching pair of straight-leg trousers. The combination is made of lightweight cotton and features horizontal pin-stripes in a lime-blue colour that screams spring. Throw on some tan leather slippers with a classy tote, and look voguish in this summer ethnic outfit.

3. Lightly printed boatneck kurti with cotton sharara & dupatta

While we certainly want our summers to be fashionable, we would like them to be just as fuss-free, which is wonderfully captured in this gorgeous ethnic ensemble. Dressier than the other Indian outfits for women we've recommended so far, this getup is perfect for all functions and pujas you need to attend during peak summers.

4. Embroidered gherdaar kurta with straight pants 

If you've been hunting for a beautiful ethnic outfit for the office, your search ends here. We adore this airy mustard set, which invites attention to a Gherdaar kurta with slightly flared quarter sleeves, and a simple pair of solid cropped straight-leg trousers. Ditch the dupatta, and make a mess-free hair-do for a summery Indian work outfit.

5. Flared tunic with tie-up knot & slim-fit cotton pants

Very similar to the tent dress mentioned earlier. Adopting the same inclination for comfortable clothes in our ethnic wear recommendations, we chose this flared tunic with an asymmetrical hem as our ideal look for balmy days.

6. Ajrakh cotton anarkali set 

We love Indian prints, and Ajrakh is one of them. It looks intricate yet uncomplicated, and if the trends were to be referred to, Ajrakh would probably top the list of Indian prints this summer. So, coupling it with the flowy Anarkali style makes a lot of sense. We'd recommend breezy palazzos in a matching or complementary print and colour combination for bottom wear.

7. Strappy asymmetrical printed short kurti with flared palazzos 

Got a midsummer party to attend; where the dress code is ethnic? One of our top recommendations of Indian outfits for women would include this yellow pastel ensemble. The set comprises a strappy short kurti with an asymmetrical hem, plenty of romantic ruffles, and an extra-flared pair of palazzos. Adorning the entire outfit are two sets of summery prints, blooming tulips at the top and a few wildflowers at the bottom.

8. Hand-block print angrakha with cropped wide pants 

Angrakha is always an elegant option of ethnic wear for women if you're bored with the usual kurti cuts. You can see vibrant floral hand-block prints and a bright pink border around the wrap-over neckline. We also love the ruched sleeves and the delicate doris hanging off the hem.

9. Linen halter kurti & palazzo set 

Honestly, do we even need to say anything about this? Just one glance at this olive Indian outfit, and we feel instantly transported to the hotter months of the year. We dig the flowy silhouette, the crisp halter-neck style of the kurti, and the flared flowy palazzos. If you're more comfortable that way, you can wrap a long-line summer shrug on top to complete this Indian outfit for women.

10. Multicolor kalamkari front-slit kurta with pleats & tailored pants 

Another idea is to borrow an effortlessly chic office look in summer. We're fawning over the high front-slit of this kurti and the fresh pleats. A pair of tailored trousers and some silver jhumkis can complete this look.

Indo-western outfits 

 

1. Printed kaftan dress with asymmetrical hem 

It doesn't get easier and breezier than donning a kaftan dress during summer. We love this blue piece with an all-over chequered print. Our favourite feature is that asymmetrical high-low hem, which takes up several aspects of this Indo-Western outfit's trend factor. You could pair the dress with some embellished Kohlapuris and a statement choker necklace. A broad leather belt around the waist would also look classy.

2. Flared kalamkari sleeveless top with textured trousers 

One of the best fusion fashion hacks we have ever come across is unique Indian prints with solid neutrals. And the magic of this combination is quite evident in this Indo-Western outfit. A summer-ready sleeveless Kalamkari top, with the flared hem shape and cut-out detailing at the neckline, comes alive in a beautiful summer fusion look paired with muted brown straight-leg textured trousers. Silver earrings, a chunky bracelet and a free-flowing mane, tie the look perfectly.

3. Block-print gathered-hem jacket with strapless top & jeans

Printed outerwear featuring ethnic motifs is the simplest and most effective way to rock fusion fashion. And we see exactly that in this easy-going Indo-Western look for hotter days. Sported with a basic white strapless top and a pair of low-rise denims is a beguiling cropped summer jacket with raised collar details and a light floral print.

4. Cami tunic with cropped baggy pants 

An Indo-Western outfit with just the right touch of grunge? Who would have thought! If edgier fusion looks are more up your alley, this could be an ideal summer outfit. Just whip out a strappy tunic or kurta lying around, and pair it on top of baggy cropped pants. The black and military green combination is what we loved the most, but you can choose your colour mix. We'd also suggest swapping the ankle boots with lighter flip-flops and putting a silver choker around your neck.

5. Cotton tank top with ethnic-printed culottes

Simple and graceful, this Indo-Western outfit should be your choice when you need to run around and be comfortable during summers. A cotton textured tank in a solid colour and a pair of high-rise printed culottes will help you pull off your best summer fusion look. Dainty danglers or a pair of jhumkis will complement the elegance of this minimal combo flawlessly.

6. Bell-sleeved kurti as a dress

Any flare-sleeved cotton kurti or tunic can be worn as a dress and taken a notch higher on the trend factor with something as simple as a pair of contrast tassel earrings. Pull your hair back in a sleek bun, and let your breezy Indo-Western outfit grab all the eyes in summer 2022.

7. Kashida-embroidered kimono with boyfriend jeans & strappy tank

Get your hands on a Kimono-style Kashida-embroidery shrug, and the rest will follow suit. Remember to include distressed boyfriend jeans. Also, if you can find a pair of pointy-toed loafers, you know what to don on your feet.

8. Printed long button-down shrug with tunic dress & brogues

As hard as it is to take a single favourite pick from this list of Indo-Western outfits for women, this look would probably be a fusion outfit we can't get our eyes off. Simply because of how classy and sassy this combo looks! A basic white tunic dress and a printed open-front shrug with running buttons look immensely elegant, but that pair of leather brogues seal the deal!

9. Printed waist coat with khadi dress & layered silver necklaces

Chic, cool, and gracefully Indian, this summer fusion look is undeniably simple to pull off and gorgeous to don. We'd recommend a khadi short summer dress to bring out the texture-play, but any solid sleeveless dress will fare well here. A pop of colour in the form of a cute printed high-collared waistcoat and a few layers of silver necklaces will tie the ensemble together beautifully.

10. Printed front-tie gathered shrug with solid crop top & palazzo set

We have three words. One word we repeat thrice. Pretty, pretty and pretty! While describing this summer Indo-Western look, we might be short of adjectives, but that's not true for its trend quotient. Another perfect fusion day look for work or college, and all one needs is a printed front-knot shrug. Don it over a solid crop top and palazzo, or any pants and top set in similar shades, and add a pair of silver hoops. Voilà, your fusion look for the summer is ready and wow!
