That being said, the season of freshness, flowers, and breezes is here too, so here is a guide to rainy season clothes that you can effortlessly follow this year embrace it all!
Rainy Season Clothes For Men
It’s time to bring out those cotton T-shirts that have been stuck in your wardrobe since summer. A plain or patterned linen shirt over bermudas would make for the ideal casual look, and chinos for a more official look.
While denims can be super stylish, they’re a big no-no for the monsoons! Denim is a really thick material and takes forever to dry, so it’s better to opt for a synthetic rain jacket for men and joggers instead of a denim jacket and jeans.
While choosing the right outfits for rainy days is extremely important to tackle the wet weather, it is also necessary to have the right rainwear with you. By this, we mean that you must have a waterproof raincoat, rain poncho or rain jacket and preferably rain pants or a rain suit to protect your bottom half, especially when you’re commuting to work every day.
Wildcraft’s Rainwear Range is specially engineered with HYPADRY technology to keep you completely safe and dry, and each product is packed with features that will make your monsoon adventure more comfortable.
For a couple of months, you would have to get through work life wearing lighter, durable, waterproof sandals or shoes, or preferably gum boots when you travel, instead of your formal shoes.
Rainy Season Clothes For Women
Surviving even a short period in the rain wearing a heavy top is merely impossible. Wear a cotton T-shirt, or a short kurti. Avoid wearing anything denim.
If you’re heading out to office or a brunch, you don’t want to be slogging around in trousers that are all dirty and drenched. Avoid wearing skinny pants or leggings. Instead, a cute dress and a good waterproof jacket or windcheater over would be ideal to brave the elements!
Your rainy day ensemble is incomplete without a good-coverage raincoat or rain poncho. If you decide to go on a nature walk, or just exploring around, a lightweight sweater as the base layer and waterproof rainwear, like a rain jacket for women, make for the best outfit for the rainy days!
A rain poncho and raincoat offer full protection, leaving no seam uncovered for the foul weather. Plus, some of them are super lightweight and packable so you can easily fold them and stash them in your bag.
If you’re on the lookout for the perfect monsoon clothing, Wildcraft’s Rainwear Range is here for you.
Considering how much you’ve spent on those heels, you most definitely wouldn’t want them damaged or filled in slush! Opt for rubber slides, or waterproof sandals that can get you through even the toughest of weather conditions.
Rainy Season Clothes For Kids
The temperatures are generally quite low when it pours, so it’s best to ensure the kids stay comfortable warm in multiple layers – T-shirt, sweatshirt or sweater, waterproof rain jacket or raincoat.
A most important kids’ rainwear essential is a good quality raincoat that offers decent coverage – till the knees and with an adjustable hood.
One of the fondest childhood memories for most of us would be splashing around in the puddles. We can’t take that away from kids, can we?
Instead, let them have a fun, safe time wearing durable, high-quality boots that keep them comfortable for long hours and are preferably odour-free.
We spoke about the right clothes to wear in the rainy season, but there are days when they could not be enough. A raincoat with a hood could be super protective, but when the downpours are unbearable, the water could trickle down into the coat. Have a foldable umbrella in the backpack at all times.
Which Rainy Season Dress to Avoid?
The combination of humidity and heavy showers is just not ideal for any adventure. But, with the right outfits for the rainy days, nothing can dampen your spirits!
Here are some monsoon clothing tips to follow:
A. Avoid wearing tight pants or trousers – Go for light shorts or capris instead
B. Ditch the sneakers and heels – Wear waterproof (preferably rubber) sandals, and boots for trekking
C. Don’t wear anything denim – We’ve said this before and we’ll say it again, denim is just not the right rainy season clothing option!
D. Keep leather and suede away – The muddy water can spoil your expensive leather or suede shoes or bags.
Rainy days don’t always have to be dull! Make the most of it by wearing bold patterns, bright hues, and lighten the gloomy skies.
