MUMBAI: India is a country located a few degrees above the equator and the majority of the country witnesses a hot and humid type of climatic conditions with extreme intensity rainfall, while some areas remain arid throughout the year.
If we take a look at her megacities, wherein the country's urban population reside, they witness the hot and humid/ dry conditions at large. Despite these uniformities and diversities, the climate and urban city life are pretty much suitable for facilitating an individual to endorse exposive outfits in the form of crop tops, sleeveless tops, mini skirts, shorts, boxers, Tee-shirts, denim wear, etc. or even a combination of all of these.
However, one extremely summer-friendly garment that is totally breathable despite maintaining it's style quotient by imparting the needed feminine vibe to it's endorser is a skater dress. As the name suggests, these dresses/ outfiits were initially like the dress-code of female skaters, whose upper portion may be body-hugging to feature the body contours or mildly loose, but the lower fabrics were left flairy and loose like a flowy skirt. The dress must be fastened at the waist with a waist-hem or a belt to impart the graceful and feminine look from below. However, these dresses are essentially short-lengthened to facilitate activity-based free locomotion.
The skater dress combines playful hemlines and whimsical fabrics to create a gracefully-feminine silhouette. The outfit's look resembles that of a Disney fairy's - short and flowy like a gown. Even salsa, jazz and zumba dancers can be seen endorsing the same.
These above-mentioned features of the same make them effectively summer-friendly and breathable to wear throughout the day. These garments may be overly decorated with sequins/ glitter or made with light and costly fabrics like sheer; or; be simple by using cotton/ chiffon/ georgette fabrics with various mild prints (ranging from floral to geometrical) on them.
Special recommendation: Skater dresses goes good with almost all styles and types of footwear, ranging from slippers to sandals to pumps. However, boots can be specially recommended for creating a complementary contrast with the dress' colour and boots generally goes good with short skirts, dresses and shorts.
