It’s time to update your wardrobe for the rainy season. While the torrential downpour, puddles and muddy streets can make dressing up a challenge during these months, following a few guidelines will help keep your fashion game high.

Add a pop of colour to your wardrobe
You may prefer for subtle colours, but this is the time to bring out your bright coloured outfits. You can pick orange, canary yellow, fuchsia pink to stand out from the crowd. If you are not comfortable with vibrant colours, go for a pair of neon coloured socks to get a funky look. Nowadays, even many working professionals tend to match up their formal outfit with colourful socks with quirky patterns.
Choose the right footwear
Travelling in monsoon is a task in itself, and the wrong choice of footwear can even make things worse. Unless you want to spoil your favourite pair of shoes, avoid wearing stilettos or kitten heels. Also, wearing shoes that are made of leather, suede and velvet is not a wise decision during the rainy season. Instead, go for rubber footwear, jelly shoes, crocs, and colourful flip-flops that will give you a refreshing look. If you want to make a bolder statement, wear a pair of thigh-high PVC boots, which are all rage this season.
Make a statement with your umbrella
Gone are the days, when umbrellas were used as a mean to protect against rains. Look at the current trends; umbrellas are here to take the fashion world by a storm and rightfully so. A fun, bright coloured umbrella can make your outfit look vibrant and playful. Carrying a cherry red umbrella in the sea of black umbrellas will surely turn some heads. You can experiment further by picking an umbrella with quirky prints that brings out the kid in you. However, want to settle on something more sophisticated? Go for umbrellas in pastel colours.
Fabric matters
It's almost impossible to not get drenched in a sudden downpour when we step outside. So choosing the right fabric is important. Save denim or silk, as they tend to take a lot to dry up and even gets ruined, especially silk. Pick clothes that are made of cotton or polyester which are not only comfortable but also dry quicker.
Don't forget to carry your handbag
While you may want to skip carrying a handbag during monsoon, it's probably not a wise decision. If you are travelling, you should always choose a spacious bag that is big enough to hold the essentials as well as the umbrella. Tote bags come really handy in the monsoon.
