Summer-Friendly Floral Lehenga Styles with Lightweight Fabrics

Floral prints and lehengas make for an evergreen combination that is perfect for Indian ethnic wear. During summers, it is best to opt for floral lehengas made from lightweight, breathable fabrics that provide comfort in the heat.

Cotton Lehengas

Cotton is a great summer fabric – it is light, airy and absorbs moisture to keep you feeling fresh. Cotton lehengas with floral prints, gota patti work, thread embroidery or mirror-work make for breezy options. Go for pastel shades or all-white cotton lehengas with colorful floral prints for a soothing look. Pair pink color lehenga with floral prints with cotton or khadi dupattas.

Chanderi Lehengas

Chanderi fabric is light like cotton but has a silk-like sheen. Chanderi floral lehengas with minimal embellishments are perfect for avoiding heat rash and feeling at ease. Pastel colored chanderi with floral bootis all over or floral borders with plain lehenga skirt make nice options. Go for chanderi tissue, silk or cotton for added breathability.

Georgette Lehengas

Georgette is a crisp, sheer fabric that makes lightweight lehengas. Floral georgette lehengas with dainty floral prints, thread-work embroidery and sequins work can make pretty summer styles. Go for pastel hues or beige/ivory shades and avoid too heavy stone-work. Instead opt for lighter sequins, cut-dana, beads or pearl embellishments. Keep dupatta light like georgette or net.

Organza Lehengas

Organza fabric has a smooth texture and flows nicely. Opt for sheer organza or cotton-silk organza for good comfort. Mini floral prints, block floral prints or floral stripes on pastel colored organza lehengas look refreshing. Prefer organza with less heavy stone-work and more of thread embroidery, sequins-work or floral applique work.

Linen lehengas

Pure linen fabric is super lightweight and a suitable summer fabric. White linen lehengas with vibrant floral prints and colorful thread embroidery can make a cool option. Linen blend lehengas with some cotton or silk are also nice. Go for linen with block prints, hand painting or floral digital prints rather than heavy embroidery or sequins.

So try out these summer-friendly fabrics like cotton, georgette, chanderi, linen or organza for floral lehengas this season. Keep the silhouettes flowy, choose lightweight dupattas and prefer pastels over darker shades. Minimal embellishments during summers can go a long way in feeling comfortable.
