“Fashion in the rains?” These were sayings of the yester years. Fashion designers and fashionistas follow and invent latest designs and fashion trends now in the rains every year! Cosmetic brands too make sure they launch make-up and hair products keeping in mind the nitty-gritty’s of the monsoon season.
Still left behind? Here’s the quickest solution to follow and join the fashion parade with our list of top ten monsoon fashion tips for all.
1) Starting with the need of the hour i.e. wearing light fabrics on days you could get drenched. Imagine wearing a pair of heavy denims and spending hours trying to dry it and catching a cold instead. Go for something lighter and airy. Chiffons, malmals and georgettes will be life saviors in the rain. They’ll dry in minutes and you will want to get wet in the rains over and over again!
2) Cut it short and enjoy the rains better! Pick out a pair of your old denims if you just can’t quit them. Cut them short into hot pants and flaunt your sexy legs while you play in the puddle of muddy water. Also, try colorful, bold printed Capris so that you can save the hassle of tidily folding your pants every time it begins to rain.
3) Change your hairstyle with the season, won’t you? Monsoon rain can make your hair turn dry and frizzy and dull. For those with dry hair, monsoon season could be a dreadful time. Simply oil just the roots of the scalp with olive oil and tie your hair into a chick high ponytail or fishtail braids to look your fashionable best!
4) The right footwear could make or break your image forever. Don’t be scared. Just grab bright and vibrant colorful pairs of flip flops matching your dress. Chuck all those leather and velvet shoes and switch to the easy rubber flip flops. They’d go with your Capris and hot pants to your casual office wear.
5) And we have already informed you about the latest designer umbrellas that are flooding the fashion streets of Delhi and Mumbai. Design your own colorful umbrellas with bold motifs or portraits of Bollywood stars and make a statement for yourself!
6) Can’t leave the house without wearing your watch but scared it will get wet and spoil in the rain? Get a waterproof watch which will not only tell you the time but also the temperature and rainfall in your city! Fastrack offers many such watches within Rs2000.
7) Accessorize in the monsoon season with some bright neon colored water proof bags, raincoats, boots, hats and belts. Retail outlets are loaded with accessories in these blinding colors and so you won’t have difficulty spotting your favorite bag or belt.
8 ) Forgot to take care of your skin? Make some easy homemade packs of honey and cucumber to renew and replenish your dry, dead and haggard skin. Even better! Go for a deep cleansing and moisturizing spa.
9) Now some tips on make-up… The beauty tip to remember is- go natural but embrace bright colors. Carry makeup products that are waterproof and oil-free.Monsoon is the time for experimenting with colors. The brighter, the better. Wear a blue eye liner or flaunt an orange lipstick with your black dress. L’Oreal offers the best range of waterproof foundations and mascaras.
10) Your gadgets need styling just as you do. The extreme humidity in the air tends to spoil your gadgets so get them nice waterproof covers and remember you keep them colorful too! Change your phone cover each day with every dress you wear and grab the attention.
