The bonus is you can wrap them all at the nearest fashion & lifestyle exhibitions in India. Let’s take a detailed look.

Tulle: A soft fashion drama

This time summer turned out to be dreamy with Tulle.

It looks like drapery once the key trend during winter or autumn seasons is continuing till the end of summer.

From pairing tulle skirts with a comfortable tee to sheer tulle layered upon a simple dress, that tender girl style gets a vibe check with a street energy. It is surprisingly edgy and projects your cool self. The muted and earthy tones of tulle bring out versatility.

If you are experimenting with sheer fabrics for the first time, the first stop is, to begin with, some of the leading fashion and lifestyle exhibitions like Hi-Life.

With a diverse array of collections from across the world, you get a chance to explore and feel the ultra-soft Tulle fabric.

Plaids: Keeping up with checks

Familiarity is a trend that comes to last forever.

Plaids can last until this summer.

Once treated as a classic for cold weather, it is getting a sunny update in 2025.

Hailing from a Scottish heritage, the 90’s palette still appeals to the designer’s community. Projecting a rebellious outlook, plaids keep suiting both formal and casual attire thereby standing tall on versatility.

With different check sizes on the flannel shirts, light-weight plaid shirts alongside the co-ord sets with playful skirts are enough to steal the spotlight. Try pairing a plaid shirt with denim shorts, rolling over the sleeves to get an edgy outlook.

A plaid-on-plaid set also gives a grunge meets girl-next-door image. Where can you find it?

Apart from the walk-ins made at many boutique stores, many upcoming exhibitions in India celebrate retro revival and modern mashups.

Powder pink: Fashion powering through pink

It’s no longer the Barbie doll pink, rather it is about pinkish hue – a subtle tone that is dominating the fashion world.

Summer styles are no exception to it. Unlike hot pink, bearing a neutral tone, powder pink color has its advantages in treating every skin color as its own. From breezy maxis to flowy gowns, or even structured suits, this is your go-to color for this summer.

When you pair it up with pearl jewelry or white sneakers, your ever glow looks more radiant.

Skirt over Pants: A layering never stops

The experimentation with layering is a gold mine of fashion.

A late-picking trend that showed up in the early 2000s and won every runaway marathon, the skirt-over-pants style is never off-trend.

Be it a sheer slip skirt upon the straight-legged jeans or the structured maintop with wide-legged trousers, your glamour quotient moves a bit stronger whilst keeping the fabrics still breathable.

If you are a fashion enthusiast who cannot stop yourself from exploring, your next pit stop should be at the nearest fashion & lifestyle exhibition which is filled with many Indie designer booths.

Nautical fashion keeps coming.

The breezy seaside summer is back in nautical miles.

The navy blue and white combination has become the safety net to fall back upon when the tide of life puts you through swirling moments of curveballs. The navy-white stripes, rope-inspired belts, sailor collars, and anchoring buttons are refreshing and classic.

Pairing up with a sailor-inspired blouse with high-waisted shorts or even throwing up a co-ord set to get the Goa Beach Club vibe.

Unbutton shirts – Casual and cool style goes together

Unbuttoned shirts are everywhere.

The relief of not to button yourself very tight is freedom experienced at another level. Usually worn over tanks, bikkinis, and even bralettes, unbutton shirts showcases a sense of individualism and self-identity. Not only does it put you to a calm mindset but also helps you to appear even more assured.

Layer over shorts or a slip dress and go large with pristine white cotton or slouchy linens.

Whether you wear it loose, tie it up, or add a belt, it is the greatest no-effort fashion flex.

Tank tops- Freeze your summer moments

Summer style cannot be discussed without mentioning the simple tank top.

Still, tank tops in 2025 is far from simple. From rich materials like silk and organic cotton to ribbed textures that provide depth, they’ve all had a complete glow-up.

This is a flexible hero item that can improve your whole look, not your throw-on-and-go gym tank.

Throw it over jeans for weekend brunch, tuck it into a long, flowing skirt for effortless chic, pair it with cargo trousers for a relaxed attitude, or wear it under a blazer for that ideal office-casual edge.

One tank is equivalent to infinite appearances, yet stylish and sustainable.
