Monsoon Fashion Trends to follow

Cool breeze and drops of rain, sounds so mesmerizing and romantic, but the same weather also leads to dry hair, skin problems and dirty clothes. Being stylish is a bit tricky in monsoon season, so let’s make it easy for you and help you brighten up your wardrobe with these fashion trends and let’s steal some monsoon styles from Bollywood fashion divas.

The first requirement of monsoon is to pick rain essentials like raincoats and umbrellas. You must be wondering as everyone carries them, so what difference it will make to your style? So let’s turn your monsoon gear into a fashion trend! If you prefer raincoats over umbrellas, then flaunt them as you step outside. Unlike those dull colored, plastic raincoats you can choose neon colors like yellow, green, blue or orange. You can also change it to your out-wears by shortening the length and wear as short coat or leave it long. If you love to carry an umbrella, opt for soft colours or floral printed ones for a stylish look.

Take out floral prints and beat the monsoon blues by wearing bright colors like pink, yellow, green or orange. For a casual chic look, opt for shorts, T-shirts and cropped trousers. As monsoon need breathable fabrics so choose vibrant colors that make you lively and monsoon ready.

Monsoon is the right time to flaunt your bright flip-flops. They are readily available in different colors. This type of footwear is very comfortable that leave you tension-free to walk on wet streets. But if you are looking to experiment with your look, then may we recommend high ankle leather or plastic boots, which are water and mud resistant and easy to clean. Avoid ballerinas, wedges and peep toes as they are less likely to survive a monsoon splash.

Spy Style: Check out Aishwarya Rai Bachchan casually dressed in white suit with matching flip-flops for comfortable look.

Don’t avoid accessorizing yourself in monsoon but give it a little twist by not loading too much. A handbag can be a pain to handle when it’s raining. Instead you can opt for a small backpack or a sling as they are more comfortable to carry. Choose some bright colors or floral prints to give your fashion accessory a monsoon touch.

Choose your jewels as per your fashion style, but stay light. A small pearl necklace, metal bangles or bracelets in neon will make a nice fashion statement. If you are wearing simple attire, add hoop earrings, studs, or drop metallic earrings. Also add printed scarves for a chic and trendy look.

Opt for comfy fabric which will let your skin breathe. As the humidity level rises, one must select comfortable clothes like pure cotton, chiffon, georgette, mul and light silk. These clothes get dry fast and are easy to maintain. Some designers even suggest for Bamboo fiber, gabardine, crepe silk and denim to resist mud splashes.
