Must haves in your closet: Casual summer 2023

By Parkhi Mahajan
Hear me out! Your outfit makes a statement every time you go out for dine-in with your family or friends. Common, you feel your best self when you're your authentic self. Now you may be comfortable in a pair of jeans, joggers, shorts or maybe a kurta. This varies from person to person. You don't have to wear a bodycon dress just because your friend wore one, you might not be comfortable hence you won't be able to carry it well. The point is own your outfits and stop trying to be a part of the league where everyone wants to look the same.

Let's get to the essentials list now and put this little TED talk to rest:
1) Tops and Tees: Tank tops are a need! The key to elegance is pairing them with a minimal bling, they don't even look repetitive and make you look absolutely chic. You should also have a bunch of polo t-shirts and some cool graphic tees. Adding to that some crop tops and oversized t-shirts would do you good. Always go for basic colors first, this is something that I am also learning. You should get orange and greens, after you have white and blacks. There's no point getting these former colors before basics, because these colors need to be styled with a specific set of clothes and you do not feel like wearing them after a point.
2) Denims: What would we do without them? A pair of straight/mom/boyfriend jeans can be an absolute savior. You can wear them with a crop top or a tank top or literally anything and they would level up your street fashion. Black and blues before anything else. Next, denim shorts during summers. They can again be worn with oversized t-shirts or whatever you like. You should have a denim skirt too.
3) Trousers and Cargos: Black, beige or white high-waisted trousers and cargos can take your look to another level. Trousers are usually worn with satin shirts or tops for a bit formal look, however you can keep your look casual by wearing a t-shirt with it.
4) Sneakers: Okay, you already know right, what I am going to say? White sneakers. Yes, a savior! Wear them with anything and here we go your outfit is complete.
5) Accessories: Keep a small amount of jewellery in your jewellery box at all times. a set of hoops in your desired size made of silver and gold. Include some rings and studs as well. A stylish watch and bracelet will always be in style. Don't forget to purchase a handbag or sling bag, depending on your preference.
