Well, it’s impossible to suppress our excitement of exploring the world in 2022, something that was a dream for the last 2 years. Now that it is time to visit our much treasured vacation spots, it’s also time we get back to dressing in our chic travel outfits and experiment with new styles as you go out and about the globe. This is the perfect time for a wardrobe refresh as we’ve been staying indoors much of the past years, so let the traveller in you express yourself in a myriad of ways and communicate your individuality!
For many of us these past years have made us rethink and evaluate our actions, realise the significance of not just consuming what adds value to us, but doing so while being compassionate about our surroundings as well. As much as the fashion enthusiasts in us are inspired by expressing individuality through our fashion choices, let this be the year we give equal consideration towards reflecting on our personal values and be mindful of how our choices impact the environment and people.
No doubt, comfy breathable pieces are what we’d live in during our summer travels and the pandemic has only strengthened the need for comfort in dressing at all times of the year! There are many options - from dressing bralettes into tops, cut out details, co-ords, trouser suits which are currently seen in every fashion editorials and in your fashion wish lists. For the summers we suggest opting for these styles in fabrics like organic cotton, hemp and linen that not only feel amazing on the skin, but also softens as one wears it. So by the end of your trip, your shirt will be even more comfy! The fabric hemp, apart from being very easy to grow and sustainable in nature, is a summer essential because it will naturally protect your skin from the UV rays from the sun, and is also antimicrobial. Similarly, linen is very resilient, comfortable and versatile as they can be worn throughout the year in all weather conditions.
