4 Fashion hacks to stay on top of your style game during monsoon
It gets difficult to look great all day long when it starts to pour incessantly. We’ve compiled a list of what to wear to look your usual pretty self during monsoon
For some, the term monsoon is gloom personified and the fact that it is a season dominated by incessant rains and little sunlight makes things even worse. In such weather conditions, it gets difficult to even step out of the house without getting drenched. For those who must step out though, here is a list of clothes you must wear to keep it stylish during this season.
EMBRACE TROUSERS, SKIRTS, SHORTS AND DRESSES
While long and flowy trousers tend to get dirty during the monsoon, a wellfitted and sharply stitched trouser that ends right at the ankle will be of great help. Also, formal skirts (mid-length pencil skirts) are idle for this season since they tend to look uber stylish and keep dirt from sticking to your clothes. You could also opt for vibrant shorts and dresses. While we love our denims, keep them for non-rainy days since they take forever to dry.
AVOID DULL COLOURS, LET BRIGHT HUES LIFT YOUR MOOD
Wearing dull hues like grey, white and black during the weather is probably not a good idea. While white is difficult to manage during this season, grey and other dull colours dampen your mood and spirit even further. Incorporate a lot of bright colours to your wardrobe — yellow, pink, red, purple and even orange. The gloominess of the world outside can be handled when there is a rush of refreshing colours in your life. Go all out!
TAKE OUT SOME OF YOUR WINTER GARMENTS
After days of non-stop rain, even the hottest of places tend to get slightly chilly. Why not get some of your fancy jackets out from the back of your closet and wear them on your next date night or other outings? Not only do they protect you from the weather, they also add a dash of glamour to your otherwise simple outfit.
FOOTWEAR PLAYS A CRUCIAL ROLE
Pretty ballerinas, sneakers and canvas shoes get ruined in no time. During monsoon, stick to wearing rubber sandals and flip-flops. Other options that you might want to consider are gumboots and rubber boots. However, the only downside to wearing these boots is that they make you feel extremely hot after some time. Any form of footwear that isn’t slippery and has a good grip is ideal for this weather. Don’t hesitate to splurge on some colourful footwear.
OTHER ESSENTIALS ONE MUST REMEMBER
It is criminal not to carry an umbrella in this season. And instead of the simple, boring one you carry every season, why not invest in an umbrella with some quirky prints? Alternatively, you could also splurge on a cool raincoat in a vibrant colour.
A hair dryer battles frizziness and dampness without causing breakage and brittle hair.
Carry a spare set of clothes (in a waterproof bag) to change into should you get wet.
Keep a towel and extra shoes in your office drawer in case you get soaked in a downpour.
Mumbai monsoon often means wading in dirty ankle/ waist deep water. Keeping in mind all the water borne diseases that plague the city this season, keep a first aid kit handy and wash your feet thoroughly once you get indoors.
