Why Choosing the Right Fabrics, Styles, and Accessories Matters
The rainy season brings unpredictable downpours, muddy streets, and high humidity. The season demands clothes that can keep up with sudden showers, sticky weather, and muddy commutes.
The clothes we wear in the rainy season should resist stains and allow airflow while still making us feel fashionable. This is why our fabric choices, thoughtful layering, and functional accessories are so important.
Key Considerations for Monsoon Ethnic Wear
When deciding on your perfect monsoon look, you go with something comfy yet fashionable. Our monsoon collections are filled with ethnic clothing. This ethnic wear collection serves as a go-to staple throughout the season.
1. Fabrics
Opt for light, quick-drying fabrics like our off-white and gold cotton saree. This saree doesn't cling to your skin and dries faster after exposure to rain.
Avoid silk and heavy fabrics that absorb water and take forever to dry. Also, fabrics like chiffon, cotton, and georgette are perfect staples to keep yourself calm and comfy all day.
When curating your rainy season clothes, keep an eye out for these materials. They work wonders for everything from rainy season outfit options to festive looks.
2. Silhouettes and Styles
Steer clear of floor-length lehengas or anarkalis that can trail in puddles. Instead, you can go for our short tunic kurtas, straight-fit trousers, and cropped ethenic pants.
Are you looking for a game-changing piece? Our readymade saree is your answer. It's pre-stitched, fuss-free, and eliminates the struggle of managing pleats in windy, rainy weather. You can easily pair it with waterproof sandals, and you're good to go.
3. Colours
Match the monsoon season vibe with pop colours. Say yes to bold hues like cobalt blue, fuchsia, bottle green, and our velvety red tissue saree. They not only brighten up gloomy days but also mask splashes and stains better than pastels.
A black blouse may seem chic, but it tends to heat up quickly under humid skies. So, try to reserve it for evening events, or you can layer it with breathable fabrics.
4. Layering and Accessories
Layering is key to fashion. Lightweight, breathable capes or jackets are great to protect you from sudden showers. They also add depth to your outfit.
For the monsoon season, swap your heavy jewellery for oxidised or resin pieces that don't corrode. When it comes to bags, avoid leather. Instead, you can go for water-resistant totes or slings.
For hair, sleek buns or braids prevent frizz. And don't forget your trusty umbrella in a pop colour. It's the most underrated accessory in any monsoon fashion guide!
