Monsoon Accessories : Must haves for Women

August 3, 2011 by bela

 

Monsoon is that time of the year that we wait for eagerly, especially in India. It is a relief from the heat and the sweat.
The weather is beautiful and romantic. This is the time not to feel gloomy but to feel happy and cheerful and enjoy the showers of rain with a splash of color, variety and glamor. And what better way to celebrate than to dress for the occasion.

During monsoon season, focus your attention on the bold colors instead of pastels. Blended cottons and synthetics are the ideal choice for this season.

Monsoon Dresses

Experimenting with colors is the key word this Monsoon. In monsoons, it is all about brightening your wardrobe. Do not opt for cottons in very bold colors as the color might bleed. Synthetics, on the other hand, dry faster and are color fast. Bright scarves give the much needed color to your attire. Do not wear well ironed crisp clothing as it will, in any case, get ruined in the rain. Go for flimsy garments in light, synthetic materials.

Monsoon Accessories : Umbrellas and Raincoats

Instead of just being a necessity these have become fashion-statements and trend setters. Opt for umbrellas that are flooded with colors. They are the silver lining against the dull, gloomy rainy skies.

Use pastel shades for the lips and cheeks and stick to non-gloss, matte lipsticks.
