July 23, 2024 | The Liva Lifestyle
As we bid adieu to summer and welcome monsoon with open arms, it’s time your wardrobe underwent another rotation again. From confining the yellows and pinks somewhere deep inside the closet to welcoming back frizzy hair and your quintessential rubber sliders, let’s embrace monsoon in all its glory.
Dressing up during monsoon can be tricky, with unpredictable rains, humid weather and mud all around, there’s a constant need to stay comfortable without having to compromise on the fits.
If you’re someone who struggles with the same, we’ve got some fail-safe practical solutions that will help you navigate this season effortlessly.
1. Comfort is the new cool
The first thing you would want to do is consider fabric choices when updating your monsoon wardrobe because choosing the right fabric is the key to being comfortable this season. Liva fabrics are a go-to during the rainy season, made from natural resources and known for their breathability, softness, and non-stickiness - these properties make them perfect for the humid and wet conditions of the monsoon. These fabrics allow your skin to breathe, keeping you comfortable throughout the day.
Pro tip: consider short kurtis, tops, dresses and other accessories made from Liva fabric and slay your monsoon fits effortlessly without having to worry about the weather.
2. Waterproof footwear for the win
Footwear can make or break your monsoon experience. So keep your Sambas aside and consider waterproof footwear including sliders or boots that will keep your feet dry and prevent any slips on wet surfaces. Avoid heels or suede options as they can easily get damaged and can also be uncomfortable for the season. And give extra night care by keeping your feet moisturized and covered in soft socks made from plant fibres.
3. Shorter hemlines will save you a lot of trouble
Your monsoon wardrobe must-have includes the things that won’t sweep the ground as you walk to help you stay comfortable by avoiding the mess of wet and muddy clothes. Consider midi dresses, flowy kurtis, culottes or capris as they won’t just ensure cleanliness but are also practical and allows for easy moments, which is a plus during heavy rains.
Pro tip: layer them with lightweight and waterproof jackets for a chic and comfy experience.
4. Smart Layering
Layering is key to navigating the unpredictable weather, but monsoon layering needs to be light. Consider pieces like rain jackets, scarves, and shrugs. These items are practical and won’t weigh you down. It’s also essential to pick lightweight fabrics that won’t make you feel heavy. A comfy top made from Liva fabric paired with a midi skirt can be layered with a chic, waterproof jacket to protect you from the rain while allowing you to adapt to changing weather by adding or removing layers.
Pro tip: complete the look with a pair of boots that will save you from your feet getting dirty and also keep your fashion game in check.
5. Minimal & waterproof jewellery
Heavy jewellery can be cumbersome as it can easily get tarnished due to rain and it also tends to cause irritation in this humid weather. It’s recommended to use minimal and waterproof jewellery to reduce the risk of damage or discomfort. We suggest you go for your everyday hoops, a minimal bracelet and a few rings to ensure the safety of your jewellery while also looking stylish.
Navigating monsoon effortlessly is possible with the right wardrobe choices and some mindful decisions. From Liva’s comfortable fabrics that allow breathability and non-stickiness, combined with the right footwear and jewellery, you don’t need to compromise on style because of the fear of rain.
