When the temperature increases (it’s currently 32°

in Mumbai), it’s usually a sign of not only summer but of the season for travel. For most of us, a beach destination holiday is where it’s at—bikini tans, actual beachy waves with a piña colada in-hand is an ideal summer scenario.

But before you map out your dreamy beachy-filled Instagram feed, it comes down to packing a few striking (yet comfy) and destination-appropriate outfits! While crochet dresses and shorts with cute tank tops and flipflops are the ultimate duos, we’re here to show you how you can change up your casual holiday look with the addition of just 3 pieces—Ira Dubey inspired.

1. A light fabric crop top styled with high-waist pants that one can keep tied or untied for a relaxed day at the beach.

2. A printed Ajrakh crop top and matching skirt combo for a dressy evening out.

3. A cut-out maxi dress in a vibrant colour for a beach party or even for a fancy day on a yacht.

Do you have a favourite from these 3 looks? I’m loving the first one—it’s clean, minimal and can be mixed and match and paired with other items of colour.
