1. White bottoms
You don’t want to walk into office looking like something the cat dragged in. White bottoms — skirts, trousers, even capris — in the monsoons are guaranteed to make you the Office Dirty Harriette.
A slight drizzle, a foot in the muck and you are soiled for the day; worse, the stains don’t come off easily.
2. Flip-flops
We know you love flats, and that flip-flops let your feet breathe. But they are just not worth the sight you become after even five minutes in rain.
The back of your skirt — or pants — will be splattered with ugly brown drops of muck. Highly avoidable.
3. Make-up
Runny mascara and eyeliner will get colleagues thinking you have been sobbing over a break-up in the restroom.
But don’t ban eye make-up just because it’s raining. Invest in good quality waterproof mascara and eyeliner. Chambor and Maybelline have an affordable range.
Tip for a rainy day
The fabric you sport matters. A blend of rayon and cotton works best in the rains. The rayon ensures that clothes don’t cling to your body, while the cotton dries up soon.
