Monsoon fashion ootd – Cotton Shorts and Rain Boots
Monsoon is still on in Pune with some quick showers here and there, which reminds me how rainy season is the longest in most parts of India. Come to think of it, are we all equipped with the wardrobe required to last us the contrasting Summer and Monsoon weathers that almost complement each other in every way? I have got quick tips to list out a few monsoon fashion essentials that can take us through both these weather effortlessly. Today’s outfit of the day is my Monsoon favorite. A pair of cotton shorts that are wrinkle free, a Black polka dot blouse in poly-cotton quick dry material and Rain Boots! Lets talk about Monsoon fashion essentials shall we?
Most important tip for selecting your outfit for a rainy day is to wear materials that dry up quickly. I picked up this polka dot bell sleeves top in a polyester cotton material that is easy to dry up.
And paired it up with my khaki cotton shorts that I bought from Goa. The cotton shorts are thicker enough not to become see through when wet and yet the material is cool to wear and quick to dry. That’s why these cotton shorts top my list of cool monsoon fashion outfits of 2018.
Rain footwear is the most important aspect while styling during Monsoon season. You would not want to turn up in plastic shoes with a pretty outfit or spoil your favorite pair of shoes either. Which makes Rain boots a must have for Monsoon. They are not only apt for the season but also look so chic. They are great for puddle hopping or drenching in rains. For me, Rain boots practically are the most important amongst all the monsoon fashion essentials of 2018.
Coming up to the last part is the accessories. Make sure that you stay away from all metal and oxidized accessories during rainy season as they can get rusted. You can rather opt for plastic, wooden and rubber accessories to quirk up your look. This season is also a great time to invest in some bright colours.
The last but not the least is the Makeup. Makeup for monsoon has to be clutter-free and minimal. Do not forget to moisturize your skin well and use waterproof, smudge-free items. I have used a 9 to 5 concealer and a coral lipstick and I am done for the day. Keeping your monsoon makeup natural is the key.
