While the monsoon brings beauty and charm, it also comes with its share of mucky, sandy, and drenched challenges. The season poses quite a dilemma for people who don’t like being drenched in this weather.

Whether you are going to work, on a coffee date, or just to buy some groceries, embrace this dark and gloomy weather by adding vibrant hues to your style. 

1) Choose your fabric wisely!

Cotton is the most trustworthy and skin-friendly fabric for this season. Avoid linen, as it shrinks when wet. Go for fabrics that are easy to dry, like cotton, mulmul, and chiffon. Grab a nice ethnic cotton dress, coupled with a pair of jhumkas, and get your look Instagram-ready. Men can wear cotton T-shirts and shirts for their comfortable and chic look. Don’t forget to choose an equally comfortable pair of undergarments. Make sure it makes you feel warm and dry.

2) Goodbye denim

Denim jeans, joggers, and other denim clothes in the monsoon get heavier when it’s drenched. Commuting in this season is difficult, and if you are wearing denim jeans while commuting, you may experience discomfort to your skin. Denim gets heavier when it's drenched. Wear cotton cropped pants, capris, and skirts.

3) Watch your hemline

In the most practical way possible, wear shorter bottoms. Save your clothes from getting mud stains and wear shorter hemline clothes like skirts, dresses, ankle pants, capri pants, cigar pants, A-line dresses, skater dresses, etc. Go for playful shorts or maybe a jogger. 

Dresses like skater dresses and A-line dresses are  perfect outfits. Comfort should be our topmost priority! 

4) Get a pair of quirky rubber footwear!

It is important to wear comfortable and waterproof footwear. Wearing normal shoes and socks may attract fungal and bacterial skin infections. Avoid heels, stilettos, sports shoes, and velvet, or leather footwear. Wear breathable and bright-coloured rubber flip-flops, sandals, or clogs.

5) Say ‘yellow’ to poppy colours!

The monsoon season brings dark, damp, and gloomy weather. Add loud and bright colours to shine like a flower when it rains. Pick poppy colours like dark pink, bright yellow, and green. Avoid white clothes and footwear.

6) Go baggy and comfy

After getting drenched in the rain, you would not like body-hugging and tight clothes. It prevents the skin from breathing, which in turn leads to rashes and allergies. Wear loose clothes like kurtis, joggers, shirts, and oversized T-shirts. You can go for sleeveless and off-shoulder tops too.

Style your clothes in the way you feel most comfortable. Apply these tips to look cool and trendy this monsoon season.
