And for those who want to look good without sacrificing on style, help is at hand. Designer Priyadarshini Rao gives the lowdown on what's hot this summer.

Cool, uncluttered, modern -- these words summed up her collection for Sepia, which is inspired by the English water colours.

Aiming for a resort look, her clothes were a blend of comfort and style. She used soft fabrics like silks, georgettes and chiffon.

She even experimented with denims and used a lot of soft browns and olives, to create an earthy look.
