Romantic 1. Go for shorter hemline
Keep those extra-long trousers/skirts for some other day and go for shorter hemline in whatever silhouette you choose. Opt for shorts, cigarette pants, capries, knee-length skirts, dresses and work shorts. Avoid layered and flowing outfits that might get soiled.
2. Ditch the denim
Stay away from denim in this season and go for quick-dry and water-resistant materials, such as nylon, chiffon, cotton-blends or mixed fabrics.

4. Foot fashion matters
Stay away from shoes made of suede or leather as they can get damaged in the rain. High heels are again a big ‘no’ during the
Men need not feel neglected either as there’s more to men’s foot fashion than the standard rainwear gumboots and floaters. They can go for jelly sandals, also known as jellies, which are the hottest trend this season. Lightweight, comfortable and waterproof, these are going to be your perfect rain buddies. Don’t forget to keep a pair of formal shoes handy at office and change your socks regularly to avoid allergies and rashes.
5. Accessorise it right
You can accentuate even a dull outfit with the right accessories. For instance, you don’t want your leather hobo to lose its shine during the monsoon. Therefore, ditch the leather and the embroidered cloth bags, and go for some funky and colourful waterproof bag if you are outdoors most of the times. Jewellery made of silver or other metals that can be easily tarnished is a strict no-no during the rains. So go for statement pieces made of plastic, ceramic and beads, which are ideal for the season and look chic, too.
