FASHION FOR A RAINY DAY

Hello friends!! Rainy days are here! For some of you it's not fun at all because you have to battle the odds, mud, splish-splash and constant drizzle to make it to work, college etc. Sometimes, most of your plans are stalled because of the rains and sometimes, you just can't decide what to wear!!!! For you, the rains only mean grays, drab and dull. Not anymore!! Here are some of my tips to help you strut your stuff in style, even during the rains!!!

CLOTHES: Monsoon calls for breathe-easy, non-fussy wear. College girls can opt for day dresses, capris with funky message tees etc. For a formal look, try wearing knee length kurtas with leggings. Avoid wearing the traditional salwar kameez with dupatta to work. No dupatta, no fuss. Dress in bright colors like pinks, yellows , blues, greens, but not pastels. Avoid wearing sheer tops (you know why.) Avoid wearing the color white (at all costs.) You can also invest in cute colored hot pants for a casual day out!!

For college going boys, wear knee length cargos and loose pants. Harem pants are also in.  Pair them with an over sized message tee. Formal wear need not be light blue, gray, white as they get easily stained during rain. Wear bright shirts to wore and pair them with slim fit trousers. You even get some waterproof trousers.:) :)

SHOES: Girls and boys, be bright and wear waterproof. Ditch leather, suede, and killer heels. Girls can choose from a  range of flipflops covered waterproof belles, waterproof boots(think printed!!!) 

Boys can get super comfortable in crocs(neon green :) ), boots (waterproof) or galoshes.

ACCESSORIES: Girls can brighten up their look by taking bright bags. Opt for nylon or rexine material only as they are waterproof. Boys can use waterproof backpacks for a casual day out.

Umbrellas can go funky!! Girls and boys alike can carry transparent, printed umbrellas. Printed, colorful umbrellas or umbrellas in solid colors are very very in.( yellows, bright greens, electric blues etc.)

Girls should avoid wearing jewelry that gets tarnished very easily. Avoid silver and oxidized jewelry and opt for plastic or beaded jewelry.

Don't wear watches with leather or steel wristbands. Opt for watches with plastic wristbands instead.

MAKE UP: Go minimal and waterproof. That is the mantra for this season. Avoid wearing too much foundation that makes your skin look oily. Opt for a matte look instead. Waterproof mascara is a must as you don't want your eyes to get smudged. Don't wear too heavy eye makeup. A dash of blue eye shadow can add a pop of color to your eyes. Always carry wet wipes, sanitizer, comb and a clean handkerchief during this season.
