Monsoon can be a tricky time for fashionistas especially. Staying dry is a primary concern, after which staying stylish along with it follows it quickly. The right accessories can make or break a look, which is even more true in the rains. Belts and baubles can be tedious so what accessories are the right mix of chic and functional for the season?

Kiara Advani seems to know the secret to that. The 25-year-old actress, who is getting rave reviews for Lust Stories, has been spotted all over Mumbai, basking in the film's success. On one such occasion in the city, Kiara was seen in a relaxed casual look, looking ready to take on the gloomy season. She managed that by pairing her outfit with the right fashion accessories. We've decoded her look to find out what made Kiara Advani's outfit a winning one for the monsoon.

1. Visor
You're certainly rubbing your eyes at what Kiara is wearing in place of a cap. It's a yellow tinted transparent visor; an accessory which isn't seen much on this side of the world but is a smart pick for the monsoon. Wear it with a raincoat or windcheater and the rain won't fall anywhere near your face.
2. Mini Backpack
While mini bags have been around for a few years, the backpack variant of the trend is catching on just as quickly. Kiara's Louis Vuitton backpack in a classic monogram print is a celebrity favourite that works like monsoon magic because it isn't too heavy to lug around and also keeps the hands free.

3. Sneakers
While white sneakers (or any light hue for that matter) may not be our ideal rainy choice, sneakers can withstand light showers and keep your feet snug. Ones with lightweight fabric or PVC are your best bet on days with a bit of drizzle.

And here you thought a monsoon look couldn't pack in style and functionality.
