Such fabrics don’t restrict any movement and are easy to carry. Even though Velvet is the trendiest option these days, it’s a big no. While dark colors like blues, greyest and browns are the safest options, looking outside these color pallets will make for an interesting choice. Even if one chooses dark colors, it is advisable to keep the accessories lighter. Pastels are in great demand this season. They immediately ooze out a breezy feeling.
