HYDERABAD : With humidity on one side and heavy downpour on the other, the early monsoon season can dampen your style with sweat and rain. Let’s take a peek into the wardrobe and decide how to style the essentials for the rainy season. The colours and fabrics you choose have a significant impact during the monsoon season.
Sanjay David, Fashion Stylist, says, “Using waterproof clothing that is usually natural or synthetic and laminated to or coated with waterproof materials like rubber, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyurethane (PU), silicone elastomer, fluoropolymers, and wax is a safe option during monsoon.” Kenisha Sabnani, Chief Styling Officer at Kenisha Styles and Director of LineUp Ventures Pvt Ltd, suggests choosing the right fabric is crucial during the rainy season for both comfort and quick-drying properties. She says fabrics like cotton blends, which are lightweight and breathable, make them perfect for the humid weather.
Nylon and polyester are also excellent choices as they dry quickly and are often used in stylish raincoats and jackets. It’s best to avoid heavy fabrics such as denim and wool, as they take longer to dry and can feel uncomfortable. For jackets and raincoats, Kenisha advises choosing transparent raincoats, which allow your outfit to shine through while keeping you dry.
Lightweight trench coats are perfect for a more formal look and can be paired with almost any outfit. When it comes to colours, she recommends bright-coloured rain jackets to ad.
