10 Stylish Monsoon Outfit Ideas for Women That Are Comfortable & Trendy

Monsoon Outfit Ideas for Women

The Indian monsoon is a charm in itself, and the smell of the earth after rainfall, the vegetation all around, and the relief of the heat that is unbearable elsewhere. However, it can be difficult to dress up in this season admittedly. The overcast rain, sudden showers, and dirty streets may easily destroy your well-thought-out outfit. Nevertheless, it does not imply that you have to trade fashion. When the weather is cloudy, with the right options made, you will be comfortable, dry and stylish.

Today, I will present 10 monsoon dresses that you can wear as a woman, but which are practical and trendy. Consider this like a friendly conversation as you do when you ask your good friend, What should I wear today?

1. Short Cotton Kurtis with Cigarette Pants.

Cotton is something that will never get out of fashion and during the monsoon, it is the safest bet. Long dresses are prone to wetness and dirtiness, therefore, make it short and plain. A kurti made of printed cotton, worn with tight cigarette trousers is very nice, and will dry off in no time should you happen to get caught in the rain. Wear waterproof sandals or juttis, which are colourful.

The following is a brief list of Short Cotton Kurtis with Cigarette Pants appearance🌧

2. Breezy A-Line Dresses

In case you are in love with dresses, choose knee length A-lines. They are lightweight, nonchalant, and make you move freely even during hot days of humid weather. Wear prints such as florals or polka dots – they are better at covering small rain stains than plain light colours are.

Personal commentary I recall that I had a monsoon in which I put on a pastel pink maxi. By the time I got into college the bottom hem was totally wet. Ever since, I vow by knee-length dresses in rainy weather!

» Rayon/viscose – soft drape

» Poly-cotton – less wrinkle, faster dry

3. Denim-Free Zone – Try Culottes

We wear jeans, however, in monsoons they take so long before drying, and they feel uncomfortable in case they are wet. Switch to culottes instead. These are hip-hop-style high waisted shorts, stylish and convenient. Match them with a tightened-in blouse or even a rather tight t-shirt to look well-balanced.
