Linen and cotton dresses from 35 homegrown brands to add to your summer wardrobe

As the summer heat in India intensifies (because, you know, global warming), surviving the sun starts to feel like an Olympic sport. The air is thick, sweat is relentless, and the idea of looking human, let alone decent, starts to feel like a mirage in the desert. But here’s the thing: your wardrobe doesn’t have to be the enemy. It can be your best ally (aside from your antiperspirant, of course).

Think fabrics that let you breathe—soft cottons, airy linens, silks that flow, not cling. Here are 35 homegrown brands offering a collection of linen and cotton dresses that won’t have you fantasising about a cold shower the moment you step outside. From linen button-ups to cotton co-ord kurta sets, organic cotton Ajrakh printed tees, or just an easy, breezy white dress—we’ve got you covered. After all, no one should have to choose between looking good and surviving the heat.
