LUDHIANA | WEDNESDAY | 16 JULY 2025 PHOTOS: AGENCIES & ISTOCK Fashion for a rainy day Mona A S the monsoon settles in and the sky opens up, designers are redefining rainy-day dressing — prioritising breathable, quick-drying fabrics and layered silhouettes that are as practical as they are polished. From unisex showerproof coats to utility cargos and easybreezy dresses, the focus is on elevated everyday pieces that blend comfort with city-ready cool. “Rather than technical gear, we’re celebrating monsoon with fashion that adapts —versatile, and rooted in everyday wearability,” says Umashan Naidoo, Head of Customer & Beauty at Trent Ltd. Westside’s curated edits are designed to handle sudden showers while keeping your style intact — think urban-trek looks and lightweight layers. “Oversized shirts become your style saviour — worn solo or layered, they bring both drama and flexibility,” shares Aaina Mahajan, founder and creative director of Mellowdrama. And when it comes to accessories, function is fused with flair. “I find myself reaching for our Splash sandals — they’re lightweight, monsoon-friendly, and strike the right balance between comfort and style,” says Laksheeta Govil, founder and creative director of Fizzy Goblet. Here are some quick points to slay the monsoon style… Colour palette The brighter, the better. Monochrome are ruling the style charts in 2025, it’s all about turning heads with bold hues. Think neon greens, electric yellows, and hot pinks. Keep it dry Stay stylish and splash-proof with transparent waterproof jackets. These pieces are a monsoon essential — they let your outfit shine while keeping it dry. Fabric focus The right fabric can make Oversized shirts, sandals, waterproof accessories—monsoon fashion is a bit of caution & plenty of fun all the difference. Prioritise lightweight, breathable and quick-dry materials that won’t cling or weigh you down. Keep the hem up While oversized shirts and shorts are having a major fashion moment, they might not fit every setting. If your workplace or personal style leans more modest, simply keep your hemlines higher. Monsoon must-haves Invest in waterproof accessories to save yourself from last-minute scrambles. A waterproof tote, a rainproof phone pouch, and protective shoe covers are essential. Makeup mantra Waterproof is non-negotiable. Look for products that stand up to both rain and humidity. Embrace the dewy-skin trend and get playful with bold eye makeup. RIP Dheeraj It’s a love anthem Dhadak 2 begins its musical journey with a song that stays with you long after it ends.
