Tips for Styling Yourself for the Office During Monsoon

Monsoon can be pleasant for some, irritating for some and loveable for some. There are many reasons why you should or should not love the season but one thing is a fact. Monsoon season can be tricky when it comes to dressing up for the office. One moment, it's sunny, and the next, you are caught in a shower wondering what to do next. Stylish yourself for the rainy season looks a haunting task and that is why we have arrived with all the tips you need.

When you are this stylish, you need to cope up and be ready for any situation. The thing is simple, in rainy season, you will only bloom if you do the right thing.  Here are some tips to help you stay stylish and comfortable during those rainy days.

Go for Quick-Dry Fabrics

First things first, you should know that half of the work in rainy season is done when you pick the right kind of fabric. You can pick clothes that dry up quickly in order to reduce the chances of you appearing to the office all wet. Nobody likes the feeling of sitting in wet clothes all day and that is why fabrics like polyester and nylon are your best friends during the monsoon. They dry fast and keep you comfortable. Avoid heavy materials like denim or thick cotton as they take ages to dry and feel yucky when wet.

Embrace the Power of Layers

This one is more of a hack that many don’t know. Layers are a lifesaver during the monsoon and to use them, start with a quick-dry base layer. You can then add a cardigan or blazer on top to look stylish while protecting yourself. This way, you can adjust to the changing weather throughout the day. If for some reason, it gets too warm, you can easily remove a layer.

Water-Resistant Footwear

Be very clear about the fact we are gonna tell you - your fancy leather shoes won’t stand a chance against those puddles. Instead of using them and spoiling them, you can invest in some stylish water-resistant shoes or boots. Rubber shoes, treated leather, or even some chic rain boots can keep your feet dry and happy. And it is not that they are not glitzy, they often come in fun colours and designs to brighten up those gloomy days.

Colourful and Printed Umbrellas

An umbrella is not just a necessity but it can be a style statement if you are brave enough to pull it off the right way. It is time to ditch the boring black umbrella and go for something colorful or with a fun print. It can add a pop of colour to your outfit and lift your spirits on a dreary day.

Keep it Short and Simple

You know what, long pants are not for this weather as they can get soaked and muddy in the rain. You should let go of loose cargoes and try for shorter hemlines like ankle-length trousers, capris, or even skirts. They’re practical and can look super stylish.

Waterproof Bags

A good waterproof bag is essential during the monsoon. Look for stylish waterproof backpacks or totes to keep your belongings safe and dry.

Monsoon fashion doesn’t have to be a hassle. It is the season of love and should remain that way, all you need is a good makeover.
