Monsoon Clothing Tips | How to survive the rainy season

Monsoon clothing is very different from dry season clothing. This is because, during the monsoon season, you will find a ton of rain plus high humidity, and the combination of the two is not ideal. While we would all love to get in the hottest styles of now, during Monsoon season we have to pick and choose the styles we wear and which ones we avoid. 

These simple tips for finding the best monsoon clothing will help you a ton in the upcoming rainy season. 

Monsoon Clothing Tips

1. Choose Shorts over Trousers

During the monsoon season shorts are an all-around better option than trousers. Shorts are great for two reasons. Firstly, they do not drag on the ground and will not get soaked in water or covered in water when splashed. Secondly, shorts are much less heavy than trousers and will keep you cooler in the humid temperatures. 

Shorts can also be dressed up with a thin blazer that is loose-fitting, a pair of heels, and a small clutch. But, if you feel like your shorts are a little too causal you can always swap them out for a flowy skirt. 

2. Pick Clothing in a Floral Print

The monsoon season can be dark and gloomy quite often, which can have an effect on your mood and attitude. One of the best ways to brighten your mood and the gloominess outside is by wearing clothing in a floral print. Floral print is a timeless print that can be worn over and over and never be overdone. 

Find floral print on dresses, skirts, shirts and beyond and brighten up your day! You can also wear florals on key accessories like a silk scarf or on more minimal accessories like your phone case. 

3. Opt for Sandals instead of Sneakers 

The best shoes for the monsoon season are sandals or flip flops. They are lightweight and open so your feet are able to breathe with ease. Ensure the sandals are rubber or jelly material so that they don't absorb water and can dry quickly. 

If you are going to a nice dinner think about packing your heels and wearing your sandals to arrive. This way you won't ruin the nice shoes and can navigate the rainy with ease. 

4. Avoid Jeans and Heavy Fabrics 

During the rainy season, jeans and thick fabrics can get weighed down with water. That is why we suggest you choose light fabrics like light crepe, light silk, and silk-cotton blends. These fabrics allow some airflow and prevent you from getting too overheated. Plus they dry quickly if they get wet with water or even sweat. 

Find clothing of all types in these fabrics and make your life a little easier. If you are doing something that requires a more upscale look wear a silk dress! We are obsessed with silk and silk dresses are magical. 

5. Choose Midi Dresses over Maxi Dresses

We love maxi dresses, however, in the rainy season these are just not practical. The flowy fabric can sometimes be too long and drag in the water. Plus since they are a longer choice they can get pretty warm and we want to avoid all chances of this! 

During the monsoon season, the best dress option is a midi dress. This type of dress still remains modest and classy, while giving your legs some room to breathe. 

6. Accessorize with a Vibrant Handbag

Once again we want to cheer up the dreary days that tend to come during monsoon season. A great way to do this is by accessorizing with a bright color. Adding some color with your handbag will automatically brighten up your outfit and the cloudy rainy day. 

Choose any style of handbag you prefer but make sure it is bright or decorated in a way that brightens your day. 

We hope you are feeling ready for the monsoon season. These monsoon clothing tips are sure to help you survive the rainy season in style!
