The monsoon wardrobe

Staying stylish outdoors can be difficult to pull off during monsoon season. It is easy to feel distressed over the hassle since the main thing on one’s mind is to stay dry – or avoid the expected traffic altogether. But here’s the thing: you can still win over the wet season. Here are some ways to do it:

As much as the cuts and edges are significant in looking dapper and urbane, color also plays a decisive role in dressing up in a fashionable manner. Bright colors such as pink, yellow and green are the best picks this wet season for their mood-uplifting quality. Feel no guilt with a bright blue or crimson tops as outfit starters. Not used to bright outfits? Bold accessories can still bring the glamor.

Set aside your knits and linen for now. Instead, suit up in cottony dresses, denim, crepe silk or garments made from modacrylics for breathable and rain-friendly outfits. This type of clothing dries easily. So if you are battling a heavy downpour, choose outfits in the right materials. After all, comfort is still at the top of the wearing hierarchy.

May it be at work or school, your journey can take you from gutter-deep floods to muddy puddles. The best footwear can ease your way. Your stilettos, leathery and velvet shoes are no-no’s. Instead, go for the rubbery material or be gutsy with using PVC knee-high boots.

Long-hemmed garments are prone to stains. To name a few, these are square pants, and midi skirts. As a substitute, try to wear fitted as well as short-hemmed clothes like tights, shorts, or yoga pants which are also known as athleisure wear. These #OOTDs would not compromise your stylish get-ups and could also get you some head-turning looks.

Monsoon season is not that worrisome when it comes to grabbing trendy, breathable and aesthetically pleasing outfits. Don’t let the rain drench your fashion sense!
