It's raining cats and dogs, and everyone is scuttling to find cover. The monsoon season has officially arrived, and it has probably dampened your moods and spoiled your plans for an outing that is ideal for dry weather conditions. It doesn't have to, though.
While we get that you may have to stay indoors more, the rainy season should not spoil your style. We explore the essential monsoon fashion trends you should be wearing to stay dry, comfortable, and stylish.
Get Inspired, Try Out Bold Colours
Let's admit it: the monsoon season might very well tempt us to stick to neutrals and darker hues, but hey, why not fight the grey skies with a burst of colour? Bold, yes, but you'll like the results.
Think of it as the perfect chance to experiment, and inspiration can strike from the most unexpected of places (nature is your palette)—whether it's the vibrant sunset, blooming flowers, or even the cheerful world of online games. Speaking of colours, games like the fluffy favourites slot are a visual feast, bursting with colours that can capture your eye and spark your imagination. This is a great example of colourful design complimenting the vibrant gameplay of an online slot.
Look for unexpected places to find inspiration, and you could very well pull off an outfit that surprises you. That upbeat jingle playing in the background as you watch YouTube tutorials could be the inspiration for an edgy monsoon look—we are all for it!
Stay Dry: Waterproof Footwear
Among the things that make wet conditions unbearable is the fact that you run the risk of getting your shoes wet as soon as you step out the door. Well, for this, we recommend ankle or knee-length boots. Step out in the pair of leather boots you bought on a whim and never thought you would need.
You will be happy at how well these keep you dry, even when they seem to be soaking in water. A pair of Dr Martens boots with the emblematic chunky sole is as good as gumboots. Wear your trench coats, leather biker pants, and designer sling bags with these boots. You are virtually immune to the wet conditions around you, but you are still stylish.
Ditch Figure-Hugging Clothing for A Loose Fit
We know just how well tight fits accentuate your figure, but unfortunately, this is not the time for them. During the Monsoon season, which is wet and humid, you want loose-fitting outfits that make it easy to move around and let air in.
As you pick outfits that are loose fitting, you also want to make sure they are not too low so that they would touch the ground. A general rule of thumb is to avoid anything that goes past your knees. You don't want mud splashing onto your clothes as you walk.
Layer Your Outfits
Now, in as much as this sounds pretty obvious, layering your outfits takes a smidge of genius to pull off. Get it wrong, and you could easily be overdressed. With its hot and humid temperatures, the Monsoon season gives you leeway to wear sleeveless dresses and tops, but you will need something warmer to throw on top of your outfit when the weather changes.
Have scarves, long sweaters, and other warm clothing to pair with your daring outfit. A long, hand-knit cardigan would look absolutely amazing, and you also get points for how functional it is given the weather conditions.
May The Rain Not Spoil Your Mood
You can't wait for when the rains stop and you don't have to hurtle around carrying your umbrella—we can't too. Even so, this season could be just the perfect time to try out new ways of pairing the items in your wardrobe that would not occur to you otherwise. While the goal is to stay dry, with tips like these, you now have a better idea of the fabrics to choose and what to pair them with as you walk out and brave the wet conditions.
