Across many parts of India, summer is making inroads while northern India is enjoying spring. However, in a month's time, there too temperatures will be on the rise. One of the ways to tackle India's oppressive heat is to choose fabric that breathe. Short kurtas with half sleeves made from cotton fabric would be an excellent way to deal with the heat and sweat.
Cotton, as Indians have known for thousands of years, is a breathable fabric and is, hence, good in these months. It lets air pass through giving a cooling effect. Cotton fabric is good at absorbing sweat too.
The short half sleeves kurta design too is such that it allows the neck and arms to not be covered and, hence, the body cools down easily. Also, unlike a traditional kurta, this kurta does not go down till the knees and stops a little below the waist, making it easier to manage.
