It is always hard to dress up appropriately for the seasons, but monsoon remains the trickiest of all. And the key to building a capsule wardrobe, specific to the season is to look out for pieces that are not only moisture-resistant but also stylish. Well, what better time than this month to shop for your monsoon favourites? With ongoing sales on Amazon’s Prime Day, to multiple offers online, get ready to build your very own capsule wardrobe to get ready for rain. Wondering how? Let us guide your shopping cart!
Lean Towards Colours
No better time than monsoons to embrace your love for bright hues. To avoid water patches scarred by auto rides on a rainy day, choose darker colours, yes black, but more obvious shades that enhance your look on a gloomy rainy day. Look out for a statement colour palette, with tons of reds, electric blues and greens that will work to not highlight the mark.
Footwear First
Keep your Gucci, Pradas, and Armanis back in the closets and look out for saste, sunder and long-lasting footwear this season. For a walk in puddle-filled streets, pick plastic and rubber sliders, with tight straps and an ankle closure. In the case of flip-flops, look out for high heels that keep you metres away from muddy streets.
Rainy Day Must-Haves
A capsule wardrobe for monsoons is incomplete without a cute raincoat. From cropped printed designs to pocketed and hoodie-attached silhouettes, pick out your favourite rainy-day raincoats that suit your personal style. Besides those, don’t forget to get yourself a cute, compact umbrella with a free cover.
Clear Bag
Miss Ma’am who is a big hoarder of Bhagwati, please keep your fancy, luxurious picks in the closet. Look out for plastic, clear bags that are compatible enough to hold all your essentials. For some extra jazz, go for funky straps and additional pockets for better storage options.
Cute Coords
For days you’re running late for work, coordinated sets will pop up as your saviour. Like actresses Deepika Padukone and Sonakshi Sinha, go for mood-bursting colours in orange, blue and green, with skirt and shirt sets. You can easily style these sets with heels for a special dinner, or take the casual route with flats.

Check Hemlines
If you don’t want your denim jeans to get drenched in the puddles, go for t-shirt dresses, skirts and shorts this season. The shorter the hemline, the less wet your clothes will get, and the more time it will take to dry up. For monsoons, skip wearing knitwear, and bulky fabrics that take more days to dry up.
Happy Monsoons!
