Fashion Essentials for Dating in Rain

“Green was the silence, wet was the light, the month of June trembled like a butterfly.”―Pablo Neruda, 100 Love Sonnets.

Everything romantic, everything magical happens between the months of June and August...the world of delicate green leaves opens up. Colourful flowers bloom on fresh green grass blades. I am sure all the people in love wait for the monsoons to arrive after a summer-full heat...That cool breeze, surprise rain showers and the serene scent of wet soil ...every fine detail created by nature makes you fall in love again with a new zeal.

Like the season, the fashion statement that "you two" make must be equally pleasant. For the young generation - gone are the days of clinging wet red sarees and white shirts. Comfortable and yet stylish attire is the new mantra! 

Shop for a stylish umbrella that makes you stand out in the crowd. The latest geometric prints on umbrellas are talk of the town. You can also check for latest trendy raincoats.

Lovely ladies can opt for synthetic tops in soild or striped prints in bright colours. Avoid cotton blends in clothes. Tops, tunics in nylon and polyester do not let you become a wet mess. Cropped trousers, culottes will be a more convenient than the wet denims. 

Accessories in neon colours bring super-freshness to your persona. A single piece like your wallet, belt or a tiny bracelet in neon colour is enough to make your appearance interesting. 

Waterproof make up is one of the smart shopping secrets. Sleek hairstyles and tied hair can keep you away from wet and sticky hair. 

For the handsome half of the generation (the gentlemen), a shirt layer on a t-shirt, a waterproof hoody and pair of shorts coupled with stylish boots or sturdy "jungle" shoes will be perfect for a rainy date even out in adventurous environment !  

Men can go for set hairstyles and little stubble may give a little rustic look to the already charming nature. Happy Rainy season and wish you sweetly stylish  moments.

Monsoon Sale: Wake up call for Shopaholics

                            They say, "Shopping is cheaper than a psychiatrist".

The Monsoon Sale is around the corner. Remember how the supermarkets, shopping malls and even street side shopping places get packed with enthusiastic customers. The online shopping is at it's peak. You too might be one of those customers stealing the deal of the day !  Your "pride" in bargaining for a rare exclusive piece becomes your friend/neighbour/colleague's reason of "envy". 

And then comes time for a reality check...The clothing/accessory piece you chose is either too trendy or too delicate to maintain or not at all "your style"....You might have finished your next quarter's shopping budget in something you  will wear rarely in coming year. 

To avoid these situations, here are few tips before you hit the "add in cart" button or move your cart to the pay counter :

1. Understand yourself  and your "style" well enough; do not get carried away by a friend's choice (to avoid future regrets). 

2. Think twice about that expensive item from so called seasonal collection that keeps flashing on internet time to time- isn't that something most of people will buy and you will look a commoner??

3. An outfit that fits you well and enhances your beauty is the best item to buy.

4. Hire an Image Consultant :) for better and worthy shopping assistance.
