The change in simmering weather is signaling at the homecoming of Monsoon, the most-awaited season of the year. Pluviophiles, especially women, can’t wait to have a perfect day-out with their friends under the drizzling, grey weather. This is also that time of the year when fashion-forward ladies love to amp-up their fashion game with unique staple in new colours, fabrics, designs.

Just like seasons change, women’s wardrobe also asks for a complete makeover to bring out the best in them. As Monsoon revives everything around us with bright hues and fresh scents, women explore some novel colour combos to orient themselves to the surrounding liveliness. And, the choice of colour combos depends on what the mood of the monsoon is.

Pull luxury gear when clouds turn romantic

Rainy days are not meant to carry luxury clothes, but luxury colours surely are. The solid or light embroidered kurtis in blue and purple look opulent and classy. Wear it with palazzos or cigarette pants to upgrade your style quotient. If maxi kurtis are your first love, then ditch palazzos and pants. Style the look with Jaipuri mojris or pair it up with block heels.

Playful prints for sporty sunshine

In between days flooded with downpour gleam a light, cheerful, and sporty sunshine. For all your morning plans or brunch meet-ups, choose the staples in shades of yellow, lime green, pink, and white. A cotton gown dress in blush pink and lime green to rock the look of subtle, delicate muse. But, add a sporty dash to it by wearing sneakers and letting your hair lose. You can also go for kaftan kurtis in bright yellow or mustard with off-white culottes and sneakers, of course. Go for the subtle prints such as medallion, damask, stripes, and floral to kickstart your wonderful day.

Spruce it up during sultry evenings

Orange, magenta, and violets are the distinctive colours you can spot in the evening sky. If you have an evening date or just a casual outing to highways or nature side, slip into a nice, clean dress with coloured with these hues. An ombre anarkali kurti or a middi dress in any of these sultry colours can make you look effortlessly chic. To add the rainy vibes to your look, tie your hair into beachside braid.

Sandy colours for the golden beaches

Beaches are a way too fun at the onset of monsoon. The chilling breezes, loud and vibrant waves, blazing blue sky—the setting is beautiful and so should be your outfit. So, why not pick seaside hues like sandy beiges, blue and white shell colours? Wear an ankle length kurti over denim or shorts or try a maxi dress with flip-floppers on. Contrary to what many say, sarees can be flaunted too at beachside parties. Drape a silk or chiffon saree in a pant style or wear it like a gown—you can totally slay your beachside look in saree.
