College days are when one can experiment with style and put their best fashion foot forward. But as the monsoon season hits the country, all the stylish handbags, clothes, stilettoes take a back seat and are buried deep inside the closet. Well, that must not be the case. Do not let rains dampen your style quotient during your most experimental years. Make the most of the season by sporting cute umbrellas, trendy windcheaters and transparent sliders to make a stylish entry in college. We guide you on to what to wear and how to make a fashion statement without making you look dull and gloomy like the weather.

Monsoon Style Tips for College Students   

1. Go Short!: No one likes to sit in a classroom with wet jeans or pants. Shorts are the best bet for monsoon clothing. There are less chances of them getting dirty even if you step in a puddle. They are also hassle-free, comfortable and equally stylish.

2. Cover it with Windcheater: Yes, umbrellas are great but sometimes they are unable to protect your fancy clothes as rains are accompanied by winds. In a situation like this, a windcheater will act as added protection and a nice layer to your outfit. A cover up doesn’t mean you cannot look stylish. There are many online and retail stores that offer a good deal on trendy and cool windcheaters that primarily target the young crowd.

3. Transparent Sliders: If you are one of those girls who attends college wearing stilettoes, you might want to think twice (or maybe thrice) before stepping out of the house. Give the heels a rest and choose comfortable sliders. Not only do they provide good grip during rains but will also add an oomph to your overall look.

4. Clear Handbags: Leather and other expensive handbags are not going to protect the items in your bag. We advise you to select a plastic tote bag or water-proof backpacks that won’t get spoilt even if they get wet and items in your bag will also be taken care of.

5. Fancy Umbrellas: You cannot accessorise much during monsoons. Hence, cute and pretty umbrellas make for the best accessory during rains. After all that is what you’ll be showing off most of the time. They come in a wide range of designs, colours and sizes suitable to different personalities.

Apart from styling clothes and accessories, girls you must also pay attention to your makeup as well, if you plan to wear some. With these styling tips, you will sail through monsoons happily and joyfully. Make most of this beautiful season by enjoying with your friends, going out and thoroughly enjoying the rains. Also, have a healthy monsoon by looking after your food habits and do not indulge in unhealthy food items. Happy Monsoons!
