Cotton will be your best friend throughout the summer. Be it kurtas, t-shirts, shirts, maxis, or any other form of dressing you prefer, this breathable fabric is light on the skin, allows air to ventilate around your body, and some lightweight cotton even absorbs moisture, keeping you sweat-free.
2. Lawn
