The rainy season becomes more vibrant with bright colours like yellow and navy blue, which contrast sharply with bright yellow, which adds some sunshine, while navy blue helps to strike a delicate balance.
Coral and white are best suited for rainy days since they give off a fresh, lively look, while turquoise and charcoal grey give an edgy, modern look.
Mint green paired with peach presents a soft and elegant feel, and electric blue combined with black makes a bold statement.

Essential tips for monsoon fashion
Staying fashionable in this weather can be challenging. But many of us don't compromise on fashion, despite seasonal difficulties. However, one must make practical yet fashionable choices to feel comfortable as well as chic during the monsoon.
Here are some tips to follow:
Breathable fabrics such as cotton or linen can be preferred during humid seasons, whereas heavy fabrics like denim or wool should be avoided because if they get wet, they become uncomfortable.
Black colours are good for hiding water stains and mud splashes on clothes.
A trench coat or better yet, an excellent-quality raincoat, can do both—protect you from the elements and look fabulous.
It's best to wear minimal accessories and choose functional ones like waterproof watches that don't get damaged easily due to moisture.
Jelly sandals, rubber flip-flops, crocs or rain boots are best for waterproof and comfortable footwear that keeps your feet dry.
Wearing a cap or hat adds style and helps protect your hair from frizz due to rain.
