It came seem like dressing stylishly in the monsoon is the stuff mythical creatures are made of. But is it possible? Can one really go look good during the monsoon while tacking murky roads and sudden downpours? We think you can, granted you know the right way to do so. So if you'd like to brave the rains in style this season, we've got 5 ways for you to do so.
1. Befriend PVC
PVC has been around for a few seasons now as a style statement but it can do more than just that. Being generally transparent and waterproof, PVC works wonders for the rains and fashion brands have realised it. This season, get your hands on footwear and handbags made of the material to give your style a clear, rain-proof touch.

2. Switch Right
Choosing the right fabric in the rains is the difference between staying soaking wet all day or drying up within an hour. Fabrics like suede, denim and leather are a complete no-no as they soak up moisture which eventually ruins them and do not dry quickly. However, fabrics like polyester and cotton are more comfortable and will dry quicker.
3. Dark First
Don't make the mistake of pulling out your white jeans and pastel tops during the rains. Even a single muddy splash of water will have you hurrying to the dry cleaners. Instead opt for dark hues like blues, black, brown and purples so that even if you do get dirty, you can carry on your day without the fear of staining.
4. Choose Smartly
Before you step outside, think twice about the clothes you're wearing. Rompers, shorts, skirts and dresses are smarter to slip on as their shorter hems have a lower chance of getting wet or muddy. Switch to them and put away your jeans, trousers and maxi dresses.
5. Go Hole
Except for your umbrella, having rain gear with a few strategic holes can be a great idea. Footwear with cutaway details let water run through so that your feet can dry up instead of soaking in the moisture all day. Windcheaters and raincoats with small cutouts also help for ventilation.
