Sexy dress in summer season

Nepalmountainnews Report | 8 May 2008

“For women, it’s got to be cotton; and for men, it’s ultimately linen,” says fashion designer Tenzin Tseten Bhutia of Himalyan Couture.

Since it is summer, loose-fitting clothings dominate other fashion styles.

“Loose-fitting has to be the best thing you can get in summer. But you shouldn’t make it that loose as that will make you look like you are hanging in a hanger.” He thinks that they are very good in summer because they let air pass through your body and make you feel cool.

A printed top doesn’t need much attention as a plain one does.

“If you have a printed top, then you need not work hard as prints will do your work. But if you have a plain top, then you should make sure that you give extra detailing to it — By wearing a big chunky belt, playing with different cuts, and by adding small detailing like pin tucks, pleats and gathers.

Those who prefer plain colors should incorporate pin tucks, gathers or pleats to highlight their dress. The minimal use of these small things will make a whole lot of difference to your clothing.”

He says that if you have a good body, you need to flaunt it or highlight some parts of your body. If you have a good bust, then emphasize it by donning in an empire-line dress. If it’s a hip, then you can well choose to do it with a big belt.

These days, A-line knee-length dresses, wraparound dresses and tops with pleats, and gathers and pin tucks have dominated the mainstream fashion.

“They are great for summer. You can wear them on high heels as well as in flip-flops and walk around freely.”

The designer adds, “Linen is the best fabric for men. It’s also in fashion. People tend to appreciate men who wear linen in summer.” Besides, linen also absorbs sweat, making it an ideal summer wear.

Since summer is the time when you want to feel free and keep the sun at bay, he suggests that you need to associate yourself with the weather and get acquainted with it.

Fashion designer Uma Nemkul of Kavya Boutique says, “I think fabrics like cotton and chiffon are on high demand. People go for printed to plain materials. Of late, abstract and floral prints have been liked by people, and I think they go very well in the hot summer.”

She says, “There isn’t a fashion in particular that has dominated summer. Rather, it depends on occasions and time. For casual wear, it has to be the combo of kurti and trousers, or top and jeans. This depends as youngsters might choose to differ. Likewise, salwar kameez in Anarkali (umbrella) style is dominating the ethnic fashion scene. Women love wearing them because they are in vogue right now across the world. Designer saris also top the list where ethnic style is concerned.”

Materials like georgette and soft silk are also good in summer.

Uma also says that most men don’t like trying off colors, but which they should - in summer, at least.
“They are so obsessed with black. But summer is the time when they should really experiment with colors.” For them, abstract prints are good.

“Salwaar kameez in churidaar, semi-patiala and Anarkali styles are popular this summer,” says designer Archana Shrestha of Fame Fashion. Younger girls go for knee-length skirts while middle-aged women tend to wear long skirts in cotton, silk and chiffon.

“The choice of embroidery you choose to have depends on situations you are in. If it is for day, then handwork and sitara work will do. If it’s for parties, then heavy jari works, stone works and other embellishments still rule fashion.”

She thinks that floral prints and polka dots are evergreen in summer. Pink, lemon green, lemon yellow, and baby blue rule women, although this year’s color is an effect of gold.

Likewise, for men, it is linen. Linen trousers and shirts suit them. They should try wearing shirts in off-white, brown, chocolate brown, and dark green, among others.

“I personally feel that hand-painted design shirts look good on them.”

This is all what our designers have to say regarding what fashion styles dominate the summer season. You can well listen to these trendsetters and follow the rest. Read on.
