There are very few pleasures in life that match up to taking a cool dip on a hot summer day. The city’s social clubs, premier hotels, housing complexes and even Airbnbs with pools are the perfect spots to plan a day in the sun and throw a fantastic pool party this summer.
And while it may sound cool, it can also involve some planning. So, here’s a guide for you to take inspiration from — and throw the perfect summer pool party!
Swimwear
It is important to pick out a piece of swimwear that is not only glam, but also comfortable. This season, opt for bikinis, monokinis or swimsuits in bold colours and prints.
P.S.: Don’t forget to get that perfect #sunkissed photo for your Insta feed!
Sunglasses
Along with the right outfit and sunscreen, don’t forget the right shades too. Be it classic round frames or quirky shapes or even retro inspired ski glasses, flaunt your choicest sunnies at the party!
Sun hats
When at a pool party, don’t forget to jazz up your look with a summer hat! Not only does it shield you from the sun, but also adds a hint of playfulness to your ensemble.

Cocktails
If there’s a pool party, can cocktails be far behind? Skip the basic G&T and vodka punches, and try your hand at these unique cocktails that will leave your guests impressed. Try using fresh seasonal fruits like oranges, mangoes and pomegranates to add flavour to your drinks and always remember to serve with lots of ice!

Music
Last, but not the least, your choice of music must be right, because that is what sets the mood at a party. Aside from popular Bollywood party songs like Sunny Sunny, Lazy Lamhe and Paani Wala Dance, also keep a good mix of EDM numbers on the list to make sure everyone can dance the day away.
