Is it just me or do you also cringe at the thought of summer weddings? When it comes to Indian wear and summer heat, you mostly want to stay away from fabrics like silk and such. You don’t want to melt into a puddle in the baaraat, do you? No, you don’t. There’s only one thing you can look to in these times: cotton. Whether it’s kurtas, sarees or blouses, cotton is the coolest. Literally. While within kurtas and sarees you have more than enough quirky options to choose from, it’s tough to find stylish cotton blouses, isn’t it?
If you want something special and quirked up, you have to beg your masterji to make you priority. Not to mention taking a trip to Lajpat Nagar to find the perfect fabric, trims and borders. I’d rather wear a crop top with my saree than go to the cloth market in this heat. I know you feel the same, so here are 7 quirky cotton blouses that you can buy right now!
1. Tassel Talk
This out-of-the-ordinary blouse is half desi, half western and all cotton. Wearing this number at a summer wedding is going to be no hassle at all. While that calms my soul, why I love this piece is the tassel detail on the loose, boxy sleeves.
