Rainy season, for some, is not exactly the best season showing off cool outfits. Most times, we are scared that there could be a heavy outpour that could ruin, drench or spoil our expensive outfit But regardless of what season it is, it is always important to look your absolute best. There are stylish ideas for your nice, trendy outfits you can wear during the rainy season and keep yourself protected at the same time.
You can choose from any of these wardrobe essentials for the rainy season, but do not forget to carry your umbrella at all times:
Rubber shoes or any other waterproof footwear
During the rainy season, it is more convenient to go for rubber shoes or waterproof footwear as they dry easily and do not get affected by the rain. Wearing leather shoes when it rains will affect the longevity of the shoe. Also, avoid wearing sports shoes as they take a lot of time to get dry when they get wet and may end up breeding bacteria or smelling bad. More so, you definitely don’t want shoes that can easily make you slip and fall while walking or running under the rain. Invest in rubber or waterproof shoes as they are one of the handiest wardrobe essentials you’ll need in the rainy season.
Wear long trousers
If you are going out and do not want to be wet or stained should you inadvertently get into a puddle, then you should opt for shorts. However, if you live in places where puddles come hand in hand with the rainy season, then you should opt for long trousers, long skirts, and long gowns. You need to protect yourself from mosquito bites as mosquitoes breed in areas, which have stagnant water.
Wear sweaters/cardigans or sweatshirts when cold
The purpose of sweaters and sweatshirts is to help in keeping you warm when it is cold. You can wear a sweatshirt with or without a shirt underneath in case you want to take it off later. Sweatshirts are not only fashionable, but they are also comfortable and will keep you safe from cold. You can also wear a sweater if the sweatshirt is not available. Sweaters can be worn with a shirt underneath and allow the wearer to easily remove it when it is uncomfortably warm while still looking presentable in many situations.
Get a tote bag
Tote bags can be canvas, nylon, denim, etc. The importance of having the tote bag during rainy season cannot be stressed. While it may not be fully water-resistant, it is able to hold all your miscellaneous necessities and even your main handbag.
Choose other colours except white
Although white is a beautiful and unique colour, avoid wearing white as it can easily get stained during the rainy season. While going through your wardrobe for something nice to wear, you can go for bright colours rather than dark colors to lift up any sad mood the weather might cause. It is no doubt that a bad weather can be depressing at times so why not go wear something beautiful and colourful at the same time?
Rain Jacket
The Rain jacket is a must-have like umbrellas. Not only does it help prevent you from getting drenched in the rain, some rain jackets are designed to keep you warm. Overall, wearing a rain jacket protects your body and clothes against mud and splattered water on the road or street. You can find these jackets in several designs and colors and some even come with hoods.
