We have all managed to ruin our perfectly curated outfits in the mud and rainwater during the rainy seasons, at least once in our lives.
So, here's presenting seven ways to style yourself beautifully as well as aptly for the monsoons.
- Choose Fabrics Wisely: Go for quick-drying fabrics like cotton and linens that dry faster in humid conditions. Avoid heavy materials like denim and georgette. Besides, avoid lighter colour clothes that could show skin if it gets wet in the rain.
- Comfortable footwear: Wear waterproof or closed-toe sandals or waterproof sneakers to protect your feet from puddles and mud. Avoid leather shoes during the monsoon to prevent damage. Also, avoid high/pencil heels that could get stuck in the mud.
- Minimal Makeup: Go for minimal makeup during monsoon to prevent it from melting or smudging due to humidity or rainwater. Focus on waterproof products for mascara and eyeliner and use setting sprays to lock the makeup in.
- Hydration: Despite the rainy weather, it's important for both men and women to keep their skin hydrated. Choose a lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizer that suits your skin type to prevent dryness.
- Minimalist Accessories: Go for minimal jewellery and accessories that won't get in the way during rainy weather.
- Grooming: Keep hair shorter or styled in a way that's easy to manage in damp weather. For men, use hair products with a strong hold to combat frizz.
- Miscellaneous things to carry: Remember to pack handkerchiefs, napkins, and a polythene bag in your purse. Additionally, include a small face wash and compact so you can freshen up upon arrival at your destination.
Follow these simple tips to attain a clean and organized look to wherever you go in the monsoons.
