Once again, the wet season has set in, say good bye to the incessant heat wave and welcome to the downpour. The best part about this season is that one can use this opportunity to not only revive the damaged skin that the hot weather brought about, but to also do some shopping as well. During this period, there are certain outfits and accessories that work best, so here are some tips when shopping for the rainy season.
Dark Colours
In the cold weather, dark coloured clothes work best because they help keep you warm. Always go for darker hues like royal purple, black, deep green and dark red.
Goodbye Sheer, Welcome Wool
Sheer is so for sunny days, push those see-through clothes to the back of your closet and go shopping for some wooly and cotton fabrics because with rain, comes the chill.
Rubber Sole Shoes
This season rubber shoes and rubber soles are highly needed, leave the expensive leather behind to avoid damaging it. This season doesn’t always support such materials.
Mix and Match Accessories
Go playful and fun this season, you’ll definitely need an umbrella so why not try out something fancy by matching your umbrella with what you’re wearing, i.e an Ankara umbrella to match your dress or even a red umbrella to match your dress and shoes.
Do More Dresses and Skirts
Now will be a good time to leave the pants and do more dresses and skirts. Opt for pencil skirts and turtle neck tops, this way you can still show some skin and avoid damaging the hem on your pants.
Long Sleeves Vs Short Sleeves
This is the season of the long sleeve tops, if you don’t want to wear a sweater, opt for long sleeve tops maybe add a sheer scarf to the mix for more flavour.
Rock The Poncho
One rainy season fashion favourite is the Mexican inspired poncho, it acts as a makeshift scarf/sweater without sleeves and it always looks fabulous.
