Put your best foot forward in breezy and comfortable crop tops, sun dresses and trendy dungarees to beat the summer heat, suggests singer-actor Monica Dogra.

Here are some fashion tips from her:

* Ganji maxi: This summer you need to stay cool and comfortable, while burning the streets by the day. Try this Ganji-styled maxi look with some boots.

*Crop tops: A must this season. You can pair it with shorts, skirts or even palazzo pants. Get one in a neutral colour that you can mix and match with your clothes.

* Sundresses: Classy and comfy, these short and cooling sundresses are the perfect wear for an evening out.

* Printed dresses: Be it florals or digitised prints, patterns are this summer’s top option for rocking a feminine frock.

* Breezy dresses: You cannot go through summer without wearing a lot of flowy dresses. Breezy dresses, preferably in cotton, help you to put up with the scorching heat, while ensuring that you look pretty.

* Skirts: A comfy long skirt teamed with a crop top fits just perfectly for every occasion.

* Loose pants: Harem, dhoti or palazzo — no matter what you call them, loose-fitting pants are the pair to have for the warm months. Team with a vest or crop top. The fashion-forward look works for a night out (dress them up with heels) or a day around town (go for flats and a soft jacket).

* Dungaree: Any fashionable woman knows a well-edited wardrobe requires easy-to-wear yet elegant pieces. At the cornerstone of this high casual wardrobe is, of course, the dungaree. It takes you back a few years and makes you feel all cool and stylish.

*Funky shades: Stop playing it safe and go get yourself a pair of fun and quirky sunglasses. Not only will they up your coolness quotient, they will also look awesome in photographs. The quirkier they are, the better! That means bold colours, whacky shapes and what not.

*Accessorise: Accessories are what it’s all about. Use them to style and personalise your summer looks. Bold-coloured beads on loose linen dresses can take your look from everyday to unique.

*Sun hat: It is both fashionable and stylish; it protects one’s complexion while making the person look chic as well. Opt for a smart little hat with a normal brim or go for an outrageously wide-brimmed hat to make a statement.
