Monsoon or the rainy season is much anticipated and awaited as it gives immense relief from the unbearable heat that summers are so well known for. With the first shower of rain, people heave a sigh of relief as they can finally say adieu to the scorching heat of summer. But this happy feeling is also accompanied with a major worry since being the messiest time of the year, monsoons pose a big problem when it comes to deciding what to wear. Torrential rains and muddy puddles are the things to consider while picking up outfits for going out in the rains. Dress right and you would end up being a fashion diva instead of resembling a wet scarecrow.

Designer Kurtis

This is the time to wear tight or body fitting outfits rather than loose and flowing silhouettes; something that sticks to the body. Since rolled up jeans, leggings, Churidars, pencil Churidars spell convenience and comfort for monsoons, Kurtis become an obvious choice to be paired with them. While knee-length Kurtis would look great with Churidars, pencil Churidars or leggings, shorter Kurtis look absolutely cool and trendy with rolled up jeans. Heavily embellished Kurtis are not quite the best picks during monsoons; instead, printed or embroidered Kurtis in lightweight fabrics that dry easily such as light silk, georgette, chiffon, etc best suit this wet season. Go for bright and refreshing shades to combat the dull and dreary surroundings. Kurtis in bright and vivid shades of orange, pink, aqua, turquoise, blue, etc helps cheer up the otherwise gloomy mood of the season.

Complete the ensemble with a pair of funky rubber shoes, slippers or flip flops along with a big bright umbrella and you just might be tempted to do a little Gene Kelly-inspired ‘Singin’ in the Rain’ gig of our own splashing through the puddles.
