Monsoons in India are a vibe. The vibes, the chai & samosa cravings, the impromptu Bollywood moments in the rain—we’re here for all of it. But when it comes to dressing for the season? Say goodbye to rain checks on looking stylish. We believe your fashion game shouldn't take a backseat just because it's pouring outside. So we’ve got you covered (literally) with the ultimate monsoon style guide that keeps you looking fresh, dry, and effortlessly cool.
Here's our breakdown of the Monsoon Style Guide:
1. Colour Me Moody (But Make It Fun)
Dark colours hide stains. Bright colours lift moods. Why not both? Think plum, emerald, mustard, and cobalt blue. Avoid whites and pastels unless you’re feeling brave (or waterproof)
2. Material Matters: Go Light, Stay Bright
Say goodbye to fabrics that soak up rain like a sponge. Think breezy, quick-dry materials like:
- Cotton blends (not pure cotton!)
- Poly-viscose
- Nylon or performance fabrics that dry fast and hold shape
Avoid denims and heavy knits—they take forever to dry and can weigh you down (both physically and emotionally).
3. Silhouettes That Don’t Drag You Down
Keep things cropped, cinched, and cute. Opt for culottes, co-ord sets, and tailored shorts instead of full-length pants. Choose midi dresses and A-line skirts over maxis. Say hello to boxy fits and oversized shirts that offer ventilation and edge.
4. Monsoon-Friendly Trends You Can Still Slay
- Monochrome layering: Light jackets in fun colours or neutrals that pop against grey skies.
- Sporty-chic: Think athleisure, zip-ups, and sneakers—yes, even in the rain.
- Y2K minimalism: Crop tops + utility pants = rainy-day-ready and runway-inspired.
5. Footwear That Works
Fashionable footwear that doesn’t slip is a monsoon must. Chunky slides or open rubber sandals, water-resistant sneakers. Avoid leather and suede at all costs—monsoon is not the time to flex those
6. Accessorise Smart
Add a bucket hat or a bold-coloured raincoat to elevate your look (and stay dry) Crossbody waterproof bags over shoulder totes—they’re chicer and more practical
7. Makeup That Won’t Wash Away
Rain doesn’t have to mean a bare face — just choose smartly.
- Stick to waterproof everything: mascara, eyeliner, even brow products.
- Cream over powder: Cream blushes and tints stay put better in humidity.
- Matte + minimal base: Use a mattifying primer + light BB cream or tinted moisturiser instead of heavy foundation.
- Lip tints > glosses: They’re low-maintenance, long-lasting, and rain-proof.
8. Skincare That Works With the Weather
Monsoons = humidity + clogged pores if you’re not careful.
- Gel-based moisturisers are your BFF — hydrating without the grease.
- Don’t skip SPF, even if it’s cloudy — go for lightweight, non-comedogenic sunscreens.
- Use a gentle exfoliator 1–2 times a week to prevent buildup.
- Face mists can be a quick refresh when it’s sticky outside.
