It’s July already and the monsoon is in full swing but don’t let the rain dampen your sense of style, have a look at some simple styling tips and keep your fashion game-high.
Say hello to shorts
Playsuits, short dresses, cotton capris, shorts, knee-length skirts are some of the best picks in monsoon, to look trendy as well as to stay safe from the muddy waters.
Choose the right footwear
Give your stilettos and peep toes a break and go for rain-friendly footwear. However, this doesn’t mean it should not be stylish at all. Invest in a pair of rainproof boots they are comfy and come in a variety of colours to brighten up the otherwise gloomy weather.
Go minimal with makeup and wear the right jewellery
Invest in some waterproof make-up and remember when it comes to make-up and jewellery, less is more. Just try BB cream, eyeliner, and a tinted lip balm and you are good to go. You can wear weather-friendly jewellery, lightweight earrings, or a statement neckpiece that would be fine according to the occasion.
Layer it up to look classy
Beat the chills this monsoon with a layer or two. Add drama to mix up muted formals with a printed scarf. Add animal print or floral print scarf to your simple and solid outfit. You can wear it around your neck warding off cold gusts of wind, and quickly wrap it around the head when the rain starts to splash.
Carry a big waterproof purse
A big waterproof tote bag during the rainy season is very much like a secret weapon. You can use it to protect all your belongings that are prone to damage if they get wet, from your cell phone to your makeup, and from a trusty paperback to the cash in your wallet.
Make a statement with an umbrella
Gone are the days when umbrellas were used just to protect against rains. A multi colour or bright-coloured umbrella can make your outfit look vibrant. However, if you want to settle on something more sophisticated, you can go for umbrellas in pastel colours or try the classic combination of black-and-white.
