10 Clothing Staples To Have In Your Wardrobe For Monsoon

Cotton is a natural material with a low-absorbent quality, and dries relatively quickly. It's great for humid weather because it's pretty breathable and is also a lightweight fabric — it checks all the boxes! This tiered dress is flowy and also comes with a slip inside. It's short, so you don't have to worry about getting it dirty while jumping in the puddles! 

The Yellow Bow has a full monsoon collection by the name of 'Monsoon Pastels' that is made out of Chanderi Silk and Fine Cotton Silk fabric that makes garments really comfy for you to wear. We liked this lace embroidered shrug that has an airy structure that cinches the waist comfortably and a fine cotton slip.

You could either buy a raincoat jacket or a windcheater jacket for this season, with the major difference being that raincoat ones are a little heavier and offer more protection against rain. So we suggest choosing on the basis of your region and usage. Windcheater jackets are awfully lightweight, take up space sparingly (if you wish to carry them in your bag), and, above all, are water repellent, making them perfect for areas with light rain. We liked this black jacket from Adidas, which looks like it's going to be super easy to style.

Buying a set is probably the best hack to look chic without pulling your hair out to put together an outfit. Since the set is plain off-white, you can style it in numerous ways to look sophisticated or playful and also style the pieces individually, especially the bandeau top. The top and bottoms are both made from cotton, making them breathable, comfortable, and quick to dry!

After every rain in the monsoon, the colour green pops and looks exceptionally captivating. And so we feel adding this green shirt dress to the collection should be considered! Made with 100% cotton, Drawn has named this playsuit 'Short' as it looks like a shirt dress but, in reality, has secret shorts attached so you can lounge in comfort. 

For footwear, the preference is a close-top shoe that is also waterproof, which is why these Birkenstocks made from polyurethane are our top pick. They're easy and quick to slide in, and for birks, one doesn't need to do any convincing! If you don't mind open-toe sandals, then these waterproof slides (that look like Yeezy Slides) are also a great pick and retail for only INR 799.

Pro-Tip: Birkenstocks too expensive? Here's a list of dupes!

Obviously, we weren't going to miss printed shirts! This one is made from cotton so you know that it can handle the monsoon humidity well. 

A quick dry t-shirt is pretty self-explanatory. The synthetic material is such that it dries fast and is also lightweight. These would be perfect for someone who loves to go for a run in this weather. It's also great for humid weather as the cloth absorbs humidity from the body and transfers it outwards.
