Humidity in the tropics can be intimidating. As most of us enter the peak of summer across India, we naturally turn to pastels, light cottons, and soft muls to stay cool — unless you're lucky enough to be in the hills.
At the same time, it’s also the season of weddings — when heavy Banarasis and Kanjeevarams come out, paired with sparkling jewelry and grand celebrations.
Here at Maati, we’ve taken a different route. We asked ourselves: How do you wear silk in 40°C? What flows seamlessly from morning errands to wedding mandaps, and into evening soirees with ease? That question became the heart of this collection.
Our latest launch isn’t your usual summer edit.
We chose brighter colors and jewel tones, and worked with a beautiful silk slub fabric that transitions effortlessly — from office meetings during the day to celebratory evenings with loved ones — without creases or dullness weighing you down.

Styling Silk Slub for Summer: Tips from Our Styling Team
1. Choose Loose-Fitting Silhouettes
Opt for flowy, relaxed cuts that allow the fabric to drape naturally. Loose fits enhance breathability and add effortless elegance to your look.
2. Layer with Natural Fabrics
Pair a silk slub dress with a soft cotton or linen dupatta, or add a linen jacket to create an effortlessly classic silhouette.
3. Play with Bright Colors and Jewel Tones
Don’t shy away from bold hues in summer. Jewel tones shine on silk slub — offering vibrancy without heaviness, perfect for weddings, festive evenings, and celebrations.
