A Few Fashion Tips During Rainy Season

Rain Rain Go Away – that’s the way most people feel with the constant rainstorms during the rainy season. It’s that awkward in-between period when you don’t know what to wear when you go outside; however, there are some articles of clothing that should never see the light of day during this season – unless of course you want them to get damaged. Some of these items also may cause you to look like you’re dressed inappropriately. What are these items? Well, they’re the types of clothing that are made with flimsy material and may easily get rent and soiled under the torrential rain. When it comes to the monsoon season, there are certain clothing items you should probably stock at the back of your closet to save for the next dry and sunny day. Scroll through to see the things you should consider during an inclement rainy weather.

1. The type of shoes you are wearing

No one likes wet feet – or worse, wet socks. Regardless of whether you are commuting to work or are taking your own private car, at some point, you are going to have to walk under the rain. With this in mind, it is imperative that you consider what kind of shoes you are wearing. It can be frustrating when the soles of your feet get muddied up during your brief walk en route to your car or in the office. It is even more aggravating if the water has seeped into your shoes and has soaked your feet. Try a good pair of brightly colored rubber boots to add a bit of color to your outfit and keep the soles of your feet safe and dry.

2. A pair of heels is out of place

Save yourself, and your wallet. The rainy season might not be the best time to break out your new heels. They aren’t the most practical option. Sure, they may look stunningly fashionable and give you some height, but wearing heels under a torrential rain makes you prone to slipping on roads and pavements. Save the heels for a night out in the club and wear shoes that make more sense in slippery conditions and are a comfortable type of  footwear that ensures you can get to your destination safely.

3. Do not wear anything suede

Please oh please do not make this mistake! Suede can easily get damaged by the rain as the material is not designed to repel water. During the rainy season, avoid carrying any bags or wearing shoes made of suede. Staying on topic, another material to consider is leather. Leather, while always fashionable, gets ruined by the rain, and since it can be quite expensive, it can be a bit heartbreaking when your favorite leather accessories suffer water damage. Stick with plastic made materials as they repel water best.

4. Avoid wearing anything white

As much as we love a neutral look incorporating white, avoid it if it’s raining outside. While white may look sophisticatedly chic and is super easy to dress up, it is very much out-of-place in the pouring rain – especially when you are wearing them as tight skinny jeans. White skinny jeans are a precarious wear as it is, but add in some rain and it could amp it up 1000x over.

5. Wear light makeup

No matter where you may be going, it is better to apply your makeup once you no longer have to make a walk under the rain or once you are out of the rain. Torrential rains can be nasty and easily ruin any makeup—it does not bode well for eyeliner, mascara and even hair sometimes. Try to opt for waterproof products instead and avoid looking like a melted counterpart of yourself. Avoid wearing heavy makeup and choose makeup made from lightweight products.
