The season of monsoon means everything is going to be cooler, breezier and better but it also means soiled clothes, muddy shoes and the dull and dreary weather enveloping the city! It may seem like the time when fashion should take a backseat. But we don’t approve. Here’s your guide to looking fashionable and practical, all in one!

Colour Me Bright – The moment the rains hit is the moment you should lock away all your darker clothes, especially shirts and t-shirts. Your outfit should contrast with the dark, dull weather and be a breath of fresh air with pastels and bright prints. Wear vibrant t-shirts and light coloured casual shirts on off-duty days or pastel shirts instead of plain white and grey on the weekdays. Hooded jackets, pants, and overcoats in shades of pink, purple, orange and yellow are also a welcome change to cast away the gloomy spell!

Call For Cottons – During the monsoons, consider cotton as your best friend. Clothes in the fabric dry faster and are thus hygienic and odour free. Cotton clothes being lightweight are also apt for the rainy season and won’t cling to your body when drenched. In addition, they won’t irritate your skin, making the downpours a lot more tolerable. Avoid knits and linens as they tend to shrink in water.

Bid Denims An Adieu – Denims are the go-to clothing item for men but you may want to rethink this when the rains hit. Denims are one of the least water-resistant fabrics out there and that’s not the only complaint we have against them this monsoon. They take the longest time to dry and there’s nothing worse than sitting through a lecture, a movie or a meeting in soaked jeans. One of the best trousers for men is chinos, made from quick-dry, lightweight fabrics should be your best picks when it pours.

Shorter is Better – Cropped pants should be acceptable if your work dress code is slightly on the casual side. However, on the weekends or a casual Friday, you can completely ditch pants and opt for shorts. The rule when sporting shorts for men is that anything more than 3 inches above the knees should be abandoned unless it’s a day by the beach! Bright colour shorts like mint and pink look trendy for casual jaunts. For afternoon brunches and the likes, you could always look for classier options like striped and neutral-toned shorts.

Zip It Up – If you don’t like carrying an umbrella everywhere you go but still want to avoid being completely drenched, add a range of jackets to your wardrobe this monsoon. Opt for hooded jackets so you can prevent your hairstyle from getting completely ruined. Choose ones with zip fasteners for extra protection from the elements.

With this fashion guide for the monsoon season, you can step out and brave the rains in absolute style!
