We have to admit, monsoon dressing can come with its own set of limitations. But that doesn’t mean style needs to take a backseat. Be in sync with the refreshing season. Stay true to your fashionable side but pay heed to the top fashion faux pas you may want to steer clear of. Here’s a guide that will prove handy!

Keep The Whites Away – While we understand white tops and dresses look classy and sophisticated, it’s best to push them to the back of your closet when it’s pouring. Whites get dirty and even worse transparent under the onslaught of the rains. Instead, brighten up the day with a cool or bright palette comprising soothing mints, refreshing corals, and popping pinks. And, always choose thicker fabrics over flimsy ones!

Stay Away From Denim – Denim is always in style, we don’t argue that. But it doesn’t paint an ideal picture for monsoon either; think – drenched fabric that takes hours to dry! Besides, a wet and soiled denim hemline is rather easy to spot and further multiplies your discomfort. Want a better alternative for when it pours? Keep a pair of chinos handy. Here’s a caveat – you’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to picking from the range of colours!

Say No To Long Skirts And Dresses – Long dresses and skirts are sheer elegance. But imagine wading through a puddle of muddy water wearing a long skirt or a maxi dress. The result? An absolute dress blunder, which causes the fabric to cling on to your skin and tug at your waist. Take this fashion faux pas into consideration when you’re shop hopping and only pick dresses or skirts that extend to not further than your ankles. Here’s a tip – try pencil skirts or sheath dresses at work and fit-n-flare or t-shirt dresses on off-duty days.

Skip The Leather Jacket – Leather is highly sensitive to moisture, which is why your expensive leather jacket would do well waiting until the next season for release! And the same applies for your other leather accessories. But layering doesn’t need to wait, try lightweight bomber jackets that give fair competition to moto jackets in the style department. Opt for weaves that feature sweat and moisture wicking properties.

No Flip-Flopping – Flip-flops may seem like the most obvious choice for monsoon. But it’s also one of the major fashion blunders. Besides exposing your feet to unclean water and muck, the pair is notorious for splattering dirt, almost like paint on a canvas, but not half as good in appearance! Then again, there’s the perpetual worry of slipping and falling, which peaks further when you’re wearing a pair of flip-flops. Our suggestion is a pair of crocs or gumboots to save you the trouble.

Show off your style and confidence without committing these dreaded fashion fails. Other tips to keep in mind include avoiding artificial jewellery, which is prone to rusting and sparing accessories like sunglasses and hats for sunny days.
