At the advent of summer, the speed at which we dig out our crop tops and tank tops is equally proportional to the sweating and tanlines we get within 5 minutes of being in the sun. And wearing full-sleeves in 40+ degrees is a no-no! We can’t always be in air-conditioned rooms or under a roof either, now can we? So, here’s a simple solution for your summer woes so that your cut-sleeves don’t go to a waste – the shrug hug!
Here are 10 types of gorgeous shrugs and kimonos for a stylish summer which you can throw a TAN-trum in.
1. A Solid Bright
Break the monotony of your outfit with a simple bright coloured shrug. This pink longline number will add a natural blush to your face and give your outfit more grace. Whatever you choose to wear, you’ll not have a dull day with this.

2. Floral Frenzy
Designed with a waterfall front and a floral print, this teal blue shrug will add a dash of allure to your outfit. The waterfall silhouette has an asymmetrical hemline that gives the effect of a flowy fabric. That and the gripping print makes it one of our summer favourites.
