Effortlessly Transition Your Summer Wardrobe (Office Edition)
The pitter-patter of rain signals the arrival of the monsoon, but that doesn’t mean your office style has to take a backseat!
Here’s how to smartly transition your summer wardrobe for the monsoon season, while staying polished and professional:
Fabric Focus: Swap those airy linens for quick-drying heroes. Cotton remains your best friend (think breezy kurtas from FabIndia), but explore chambray shirts (Uniqlo has great options) and breathable rayon dresses (try Biba) that dry quickly.
Layer Up, Lighten Down: Monsoon mornings can be surprisingly cool, and office air conditioning can add to the chill. Keep your summer kurtas or shirts, but layer them with a lightweight jacket (denim jackets from Zara are perfect) or a chic waistcoat (explore brands like Khadi & Village Industries Commission for unique finds).
Embrace the Midi: Ditch the minis for monsoon-friendly midis. Flowy cotton midi skirts (high street brands like AND have a great selection) or tailored midi trousers (explore Zara or opt for comfortable khadi pants from Khadi & Village Industries Commission) keep you stylish and work-appropriate while protecting you from the sudden downpours.
Shoe Shuffle: Swap those sandals for professional, waterproof options. Invest in a pair of sleek Chelsea boots (explore brands like Clarks or opt for trendy options at Lifestyle) or stylish loafers with good grip (check out brands like Hush Puppies). Pack a pair of foldable flats to keep in your office for unexpected showers.
StyleBuddy Stylists give you a Pro-Tip: Pack a small travel steamer at your desk to quickly freshen up clothes that might get a little wrinkled in transit.
Accessorize for the Weather: Monsoon calls for a pop of professionalism. Opt for a classic black umbrella (high-quality options from brands like Zoggs) or a patterned scarf in muted tones (explore high street brands like Lifestyle).
Don’t forget a sleek, waterproof tote bag (explore brands like Caprese for stylish options) to keep your laptop and essentials dry.
