Monsoon style check: Lots of chiffons and georgettes in bright colours

Don't let the monsoon wash away your style! Instead opt for light-weight fabrics such as chiffon and georgette, that dry fast without getting crinkly or losing their shape.

Bright colours like yellow or lime green with some gold trimmings help brighten up gloomy days and add some punch to your look.

Avoid wearing fabric, suede or leather footwear completely, and the colour white during monsoon. Instead, try PU shoes in happy colours and funky designs.

Semi-formal rubber shoes are now easily available too, so you don't have to worry about dressing for work. Plus, they are excellent for a rainy day out with friends.

However, monsoon clothing doesn't have to be boring. Contemporary prints such as cycles, cats, mobiles, are quite the rage right now. This season is also seeing a lot of collar detailing whether it is with lace trimmings, embroidery or buttons.

In terms of hair styles, this is the best time to deeply condition your hair and sport a braid or a bun instead of letting it down.

Bright nails with bright matte lip sticks complement monochrome outfits and are a global rage this season. Add a cross body bag to complete the look.
