Monsoon styling
Monsoon is one of the most romantic yet also gloomy seasons. It brings with it relief from the scorching summer heat but also increases the humidity. It’s important to keep safe, healthy and comfortable in the monsoon. We help you in choosing the best wardrobe styles to keep you functional yet fashionable for you to enjoy the raindrops that keep falling and have you singing in the rain.

The way to take over the monsoon blues is to choose over-the-top bright statement colour pops in your entire look. It could be a piece of clothing or your accessories that could scream happy and bright. So choose bright neons like Fuschia pink, lime green, lemon yellow, purples and oranges. Let these colour pops make a statement and create a sunshiny feeling wherever you go and brighten up the place. Don’t forget to add the element of prints to this season whether it’s your dress, shirt or scarf experiment with florals, polka dots, graphics, nautical prints and the like.

Feel Free Fabrics and Fits:
Choose fabrics that are breathable and make you feel free. So cottons, linens and blends are the way to go as they will dry up easily. Wearing loose fits and avoiding body hugging clothing will keep you healthy and safe from the humidity. Plus getting wet in a body-hugging outfit can be both awkward and unhealthy.
Loose-fitting shirts and tops are a great idea. They also give you more choices and especially if you are layering it with a raincoat or trench coat, shirts are a good idea.

Accessorise it like a schoolgirl funky, easy and durable
Monsoon is the perfect time to be all girly, whether it’s floral dresses or even your accessories. Choose bright colours here too. Wear materials which are translucent, plastic or jelly based. Wear a big flower design in say pink in your neck with shoes to match. With a contrast printed floral dress.
Straw hats and scarfs are also a good idea to keep your hairstyle in place. Plus it will keep you safe in the rain.
Fashionably Safe Footwear:
When it comes to your feet you want to keep them dry and the best materials to do that are waterproof ankle-length monsoon boots. For more breathable options there are PVC sandals and the ’90s jelly shoes and sandals that come in the most delicious colours quite literally. Adding that much-needed colour pop to a gloomy rainy day. Monsoon footwear is fashionable and fun by default giving you that extra edge of confidence. So keep your best foot forward whether dodging a street puddle or the daily hustle.
Enjoy the rain!
