Every season of the year has a list of quintessential wardrobe items that we so fondly call closet staples. As we transition towards the season of sweat and stickiness, a wardrobe revamp—perhaps not a 360° one—is as necessary as it is trendy. And while cotton shorts, satin shirts and mini dresses make the obvious cut, don’t also forget to count on a few balmy maxis to beat the summer heat in style! Nothing spells poetic summer romance as well as maxi dresses do! Take a look at Fatima Sana Shaikh‘s outfit that she wore while attending the screening of Roohi last evening.

A closer look at Fatima Sana Shaikh’s swirly dress for an outing in the city:

Perfect for a beach date or a sundowner, the Ludo actress picked a dark blue, floor-kissing dress that came patterned with white blooms and multiple tiers with frilly, laser-cut hems. The strappy number featured a low back cut and boy, Fatima didn’t leave a chance to flaunt her dress front-to-back! To keep the look minimal and fuss-free, the actor only accessorised her outfit with a dainty gold necklace and barely-visible earrings. PVC-strapped heels and a black sling bag embroidered with colourful threadwork added the perfect finishing touch to her easy-breezy look.

Side-swept locks curtained Fatim’s face only enhancing the romantic vibe of her look. Mascara-laden lashes, black eyeliner and a blush pink lip stain were her makeup picks for the evening.
