The HIP List : Summer Coolers

By Ishithadass
Summer has arrived with all its might and so are we ready to tuck in those winter wardrobe and strut out the whites and cottons in this heat. I give you some essentials to head onto this season, simple and chic.

1. Breezy tees and tops are the staple if you are spending time in the city and no holidaying. Whites, pastels, sailor stripes, message and quirky prints and colorful embroidery or lacework will always be the summer rage.

1. Zara 2. Abercrombie & Fitch 3. Old Navy 4. Abercrombie & Fitch 5. net-a-porter.com

2. Throw on a Sleeveless denim jacket on any outfit to up the cool quotient and be the style icon around.

3. A Straw hat serves as an all time shade under the cruel sun and savior of your lustrous hairlocks.

4. Keep the accessories simple. A carry all, minimalistic but large shopper bag is summer bff to keep all your stuff whether in the city or on vacation. Metallic accents like studs are still big this season

5. Wear a single piece of jewelry but make it attention grabbing. Look out for stones and semi-precious pieces in punchy colors.


6. Summer means spending lots of time outside, shopping and walking. ditch those high heels in daytime and opt for flat sandals.

7. Why should makeup take a backseat in heat and sweat. Do not forget your SPF and wear juicy, no-fuss lip colors. Take a cue from Anne Hathaway below on how to do bright pink lip. I am guessing the color being Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet L'Exuberante.
