Yay! It’s officially the start of monsoon season, and we are so glad for the relief from the rising temperature. But with the romance of the rains there comes the problem of puddles. We are over the fascination in a day or two as we soon find ourselves braving against the challenges the monsoon season has to offer. Here are the essentials that we think will help you be fashionably rain-ready for the months ahead:

1. An umbrella to protect your updo.

Rainy season and umbrella go hand in hand, so it is your key accessory. A utilitarian and fashionable one is the best way to go.

4. Cropped clothes to make it through rains.

Think basics, like shorts, cropped trousers, cropped palazzos, blouses and tees. Synthetic pants might feel like a good idea but will stick to your body. Even dresses tend to do that when they get wet. So, basics are your bae this season.
