The onset of monsoon brings about much needed respite from the heat. While we enjoy the pleasant showers and warm coffee stepping out of the house becomes a challenge. Water logged pathways and potholes make it impossible for us to wear our favourite pair of leather/seude shoes or carryour favourute handbags. However monsoon cannot stop us from being stylish and be upbeat. Hence, Nikita Madhani, a Fashion & Luxury Blogger & Founder of Styllogue.com has decoded monsoon dressing, makeup and haircare.

1) Wear Everything Short: 

Dig out your short dresses, skirts, pants from your closet as these are the most convenient clothing options during monsoon. Pair your mini skirts and shorts with tank tops of crop tops in solid tones for great style and comfort. Everything short a safe and practical clothing option as it saves from muddy hems.Rainy days are usually dull and gloomy so one can always add floral or coloured prints to their wardrobe to brighten up the surronding.

2) Experiment with colours: 

One can try and opt for bright colours or darker tonesto hide rain marks.Bright tonesare a mood andpersonality uplifter. Try loose tops instead of tight fitted tshirts. Crop & tank tops to avoid rashes and fungal infections. Pairing bright colour tops with neutral bottoms is ideal for this season.

3) Footwear: 

When it comes to footwear opt for either flip flops or PVC sandals. Light Flip flops help in passing over muddy streets and puddles. Most importantly,flipflops go well with all outfits.My personal recommendation would be to try transparent sandals and gumboots this season to up your style game and look chic as well as trendy.

4) Fabrics:

One can opt for natural fabrics like organic cotton, light weight silk, hemp as they have a high water retention capacity. Light weight fabrics don’t make your skin feel damnthey tend to dry faster. Avoid layering your outfits during monsoon.

5) Bags:

This season is ideal to opt for transparent bags. Transparent or PVC bags have been trending so opting for it will not only keep your things safe but you will also be on point with latest fashion trend.

If you’re not a fan of transparent bags then opt for nylon bags in any vibrants colour or patterns. Vibrancy of colours is very to vital for beating up gloominess during this weather.

6) Makeup: 

I strongly would recommend not going heavy on makeup. Try getting your hands on waterproof makeup to avoid smudging and washing out of products. Its very important to wear your sunscreen even during monsoons. Don’t skip your SPF!

7) Haircare:

Instead of keeping your hair open and loose one can go for a sleek ponytails or messy braids. Due to the change in weather, our scalp tends to get oily and flaky which eventually results in hairfall and hair breakage. It is very imporatnt to take good care of your hair during this weather to avoid hair damage. If your hair has become wet due to the rain water then wash your hair and clean your scalp. Don’t tie your hair when it is damp.

7) Monsoon Gears:

Stepping out of your house without an umbrella might not be a good decision. If you’re one of those people who like carrying anything except your bag then go for rain proof jackets and long coats in PVC. Remember to opt for vibrant colour as it will give your entire attire a chic and on trend look.
