Being in awe of the rains does not necessarily mean being okay with arriving soaking wet. While the season is magical when you are indoors, the outdoors can be a hassle. Here are a few tips for creating a dapper look to brighten up even the dullest weather.
Go For Cotton
Though ideal for summers, cotton fabrics are also great for monsoons. This lightweight fabric doesn’t cling to the body when wet and is quicker to dry than others, and it allows air to flow around the skin, which helps keep you cool and dry. Cotton shirts and t-shirts with long and short sleeves are convenient for something dressy but equipped for the rain.
Pick Bright ColoursÂ
For a statement style, pick out shirts and t-shirts in bold, bright colours to combat the dull and dreary weather outside. Brighter colours will draw the eye and make you stand out from the crowd, they are also less transparent than light coloured options making them the preferred choice on the off chance you get wet. You can also colour coordinate your umbrella with your outfit, or choose one with a quirky design to showcase a fun look.Â
Swap Out Denims
While denim is the go-to option for a casual look in men’s fashion, it may not be the best fabric to choose when it rains. Denim takes too long to dry and is often inconvenient in humid weather. Instead of the trusted denim, opt for bottom wear in lighter fabrics. The 5-pocket cotton jeans can be a great alternative. They are easier to dry, and the multiple pockets give you more utility. This may be the perfect season to get out your favourite ankle-length trousers or slightly fold your regular trousers when you have to wade through the rain.Â
Chinos and cotton trousers are other options when you do not want your style to suffer because of the rain. Opt for the regular fit variety, so the fabric does not irritate your skin, even when it gets wet. Pair these pants with formal shirts to create a comfortable work look. Ankle length styles can give out a European chic vibe while keeping your hems safe from any splashes that come your way.
Grab a sweatshirt
The weather is breezy and chilly even when it isn’t raining, but you can get your favourite sweatshirts and hoodies to fight the cold. You can opt for hoodies with full zips or pullovers that are easy to wear over casual t-shirts. Pair these with joggers or sweatpants for an easy and stylish look.Â
