Modern Muse Monsoon fashion
While many wait for the monsoon season to arrive, mucky roads and gloomy weather have the capacity to put off people. Some individuals give up on their fashion choices and put convenience before style during the rainy season.
But experts suggest ways in which you can up your game on the fashion quotient while it rains.
Fashion designer Rhythm Goyal says it is important to be very sure about the fabric that is worn in this season. “Cotton, polyester, lycra and nylon are some fabrics that dry easily and resist mud and water stains. Make sure you’re not wearing fabrics that would stick to your skin or become see-through after a downpour,” Goyal told IANS.
Goyal added that flowy skirts should be saved for another season to avoid a fashion faux pas. For him, monsoons are more about mini skirts. “Avoid full-length trousers and opt for cute shorts, knee-pants or capris. We give denims a thumbs-down as they take an impossibly long time to dry. Switch your jackets with a trendy windcheater or trench coat. Match it with your outfit and you are done,” added Goyal.
Designer Sheetal Batra insists on ditching the long salwar-kameez (suit) and go for dark-coloured leggings that could be teamed up with short kurtas.
Instead of flowy dupattas, pretty cotton scarves could be a better choice and if saris are a must wear for an individual, then a chiffon sari would be a safer bet.
“It’s better to stay away from a sari during these messy days. However, if you ought to wear them, stay away from heavy, designer ones or those that tend to run colour after getting wet. A light, flowy chiffon sari is a stylish yet comfortable choice,” Batra said.
Colours too play an important role in monsoon season.
