Tip of the day
Have you ever wondered why does everyone suddenly want their dresses, socks bands and even handbags to have been grown in cotton fields? The mercury is shooting up and people are heading for the beach or a pool to cool off. 'Summer Afternoon', the two most beautiful words in English language. Should you not be paying more attention to what you are wearing this summer? In each season, one fabric stands out as a shortcut to style. For summer, it is cotton. Switch on to frosty colours like cool pink, misty lavender, turquoise blue and of course white. Do visit your designer before the heat hits and catches you with nothing clean and fresh to wear.
