OPINION CORNER
The best summer attire
The month of April brings the season of summer. The market is packed with new summer stock and we get confused while choosing the best attire for ourselves. In my opinion the best attire for summer are bright T-shirts with cotton shorts. It is extremely comfortable and most suited to beat the summer heat. Half sleeves and sleeveless shirts are hot favourites during summer. Simple cotton shalwar kameez is the other best option for summer because it is also very comfortable. Our wardrobe should contain a lot of cotton fabric during summer.
Attire plays an important role to make your personality. If one wears leather in summer this would fairly portray the mental level of that person.
For females I would suggest simple lawn shalwar kameez with light duppattas.
I have suggested bright T-shirts and cotton shorts for guys because it is the most economical attire and above all, suits them well. Besides this, a large variety of T-shirts and shorts are available at a reasonable price at the local markets. So this means you don’t have to go hunting for the attire you wear this summer.

Girls love to wear fashionable attire as the way you dress says a lot about you. In my opinion, the best attire to be worn in summer is a cotton shalwar kameez, which would be loosely sewn, and of a cool and a light colour.
This is because, whatever is in fashion, the charm of this traditional eastern dress, shalwar kameez, which is also our national dress, remains the same. Cotton clothes are usually light and cool because they allow air to pass through them, and thus are the best choice for hot summer days. Besides, clothes in pastel shades are not as warm and keep away the heat.
Besides this, I feel that we must dress in accordance with Islamic rules and make sure whatever we wear does not contradict our religious values.

I envy my younger sister. She has got everything made for her. For instance she gets to wear spaghetti strapped shirts and mini skirts all summer. Man! Why did I have to be... well, we’ll leave it at that.
Basically a white cotton shalwar kameez is excellent and any dupatta would work wonders with it.
The white of the dress will keep you cool (white colour being a reflector of radiation-heat). Nothing bright would do in summers. Plus white has a touch of elegance too.
Cotton is made up of natural fibres. It has the ability to absorb sweat, which is healthy. What’s more you can even use it in winters.
You can create new looks and outfits every time you pick a new dupatta. Whether it is textures, designs or colours of the dupatta you play with, the outcome will be amazing, pretty cheap and good enough for everyday use. You could use chundri dupattas as well. I know you already knew that.

In my opinion the best summer attire is the one which is loose and light in colour. The reason is that loose clothes allow the passage of air. Moreover, loose clothes do not stick to the body while perspiring which causes great deal of irritation. Light coloured clothes attract less light rays and give a cooling effect. Dark coloured clothes make the wearer feel warm.

As we know summer is a hot season, with the scorching sun burning all day. To feel comfortable people prefer to wear light coloured clothes of fine fabric.
I prefer wearing lawn in light colours because it has a quality to absorb sweat. As it is very thin and soft it allows air to pass and keeps the body clean and comfortable. Light colours reflect heat and hence protect the body from the scorching rays.
Wearing lawn keeps us safe from skin diseases because in summer the skin becomes more sensitive and thus easily affected, which is dangerous. So, at the end of it all I feel that lawn is most comfortable during hot summer.

The best attire is that in which you are comfortable. You should also wear whatever makes you look good and graceful.
In my opinion the best summer attire for men and boys is cotton shalwar kameez because it looks attractive and comfortable.
For women and girls three-piece lawn suit in bright and light colours is the best summer attire because these suits are both affordable and comfortable. But overweight people should avoid wearing three piece suits, they should rather settle for single piece suits.
Attire for children should be light in order to beat the summer heat.
