That's the spirit You have to have not only cool shades but also a cool attitude

Fabric: Stick to natural fabrics like cotton, linen and mul

Skirts: Are not as big they were last season, but do some innovative mix and match and come up with a whole new look.

Capri: A Mediterranean island has become the hottest style statement this season - go ahead and indulge

Trousers: Straight fits are the order of the day. Drawstring pyjamas are perfect for your pool parties or just to lounge about in

Colours: Think beyond white is right. Go for bright colours or spike up your whites with appliqué or chunky jewellery

Silhouette: Form fitting might be a bit of drag - go minimalist and for straight cuts

Headgear: Go for hats. There is nothing more ladylike than peering from under a wide brimmed hat.

Eye care: Invest in a good pair of shades.

Footwear: Closed shoes will suffocated your poor toes - go for nifty strappy numbers. Natural materials like chattai will be perfect.

Water baby: It does not matter if you swim or not - invest in a trendy swimsuit. You would definitely want to hit the pool or you could generate some heat lounging about on the deck chairs.

Attitude: The most important style accessory - stay cool as the mercury soars!
