Islamabad: It’s sweltering outside and the most important thing to take into consideration when getting dressed is, “How much will I sweat in this?”
But for those who prioritize fashion as much as staying cool in the heat, there are some “easy peasy” accessories to update your look with a quick dip into Pakistan’s reigning trend: nostalgia.
The glorious, fashionable past is now in every lawn campaign, every bridal collection and Eid edit, and here’s how you can play with it as well, without turning up the heat on yourself.

Sunglasses Chains
One usually associates spectacle-chains with older people trying not to misplace their precious eyeglasses by conveniently hanging them around their necks. In 2019, however, we care less about misplacing the eyewear and more about misplaced fashion.
If you want to stand out and be seen while you see, use pearls, beads and artificial jewelry as chains for your sunglasses and in the process, always keep your precious sunnies close to your heart!

Bangles
Glass bangles used to be a mainstay around Pakistani wrists- lightweight and bursting with color. They might be a bit of an inconvenience to slide on and off, but they’re worth the effort for the fashionably inclined. With summer whites reigning supreme in the heat, a pop of contrasting color and a bit of jingle to signal your arrival is just the thing this world needs for a cheer-me-up!

Kolhapuri sandals
A wise person once said, “Cold feet, cold body, warm feet, warm body,” to which we say, out with the close toed shoes and in with lots of airy, breathing room! A classic kolhapuri sandal, which is a traditional leather T-strapped sandal, is both effortlessly stylish and can be a statement piece on it’s own. There’s something infinitely versatile about a pair of kolhapuris that’s never on the wrong side of style. Pair them with jeans or more traditional clothing, it doesn’t matter- but it’ll be sure to give you that easy, breezy, painless summer look.
