Please find below a few key points on monsoon dressing.

Monsoon

Colours

“¢ Monsoon 2013 is all about lively yet subtle colours

“¢ One can experiment with bright pastels such as deep greens, sea colours, deep beige, olive green, light copper, blues, pinks, indigo, peach, light purple and lemon yellow

Cuts and silhouettes

“¢ Asymmetrical tunics and dresses are a hit this season

“¢ Vibrant ombre dyed kaftans are also a great option for the monsoon

“¢ The silhouette should be clean, the cut should not have too many layers or too many tailoring details that make the garment look messy and untidy

“¢ Wear simple shirts and kurtis’ that are easy to wear

“¢ Well cut dresses with short hemlines are very apt for monsoon clothing “¢ Substitute your long dupattas with soft cotton scarves as they are easy to manage and more likely to keep you warm

Fabrics

“¢ It is best to avoid denims and materials that bleed colour

“¢ Soft cottons and poly-fabrics are the best bet

“¢ Nylons, cotton blends, mixed fabrics, blended cottons and nets are the fabrics for monsoon. You need something that dries fast and keeps you warm at the same time.

“¢ No crepes or chiffons as these don’t keep up well in the wet weather and get crinkled easily

“¢ Floral prints would be another option for a cloudy day
