Stunning despite the rain

- Jasmin Pabua -
The "-ber" months have started and with them come the rain and the cold. Just because the weather makes the day bleak, you don't have to look dismal, as well. Here are tips on how to look stunning despite the rain:

Don't get alarmed that you have to shop for wardrobe to suit the season. All you need to do is delve into your artistic core and do a little mix and match.

It may be cold but you don't have to discard tube tops, tank tops, racer back tees and halters. Get creative - layer your tank top under a long-sleeved affair for a casual engagement. Those skimpy tops you wore during the summer can also go well under hooded jackets. Plus the cold weather items like knitted turtlenecks, knitted tops and cardigans, give a wider range of choices.

Men are advised to go with side wing cargo shorts and swing cowboy pants, techno job jeans and the like. Cropped pants paired with knitted shirts are also advisable. For interactions that dictate a more formal look, women can choose skirts from slacks during the rainy season. Skirts do not only flatter a woman's figure but also better than slacks in keeping dry. Skirts range from cotton ribbed cargo, woolen plaid knee-lengths with floral trimmings to pencil cut. If you are not comfortable with skirts, choose slightly baggy cropped pants that you can easily fold when the streets are flooded.
Accessories
Basic accessory during these drizzle days is an umbrella. Umbrellas offer a huge choice of styles and features. A sturdy folded umbrella is most practical since you can just slip it into your bag. For color - remember that reds, pinks and orange can brighten your complexion as you slog through the drizzle.

If an umbrella is cumbersome, opt for hats. Great nylon crushers in sage green, blue or black are abundant in many stores. But hats cannot protect you from a heavy down pour; a stylish hoodie should be in order. Raincoats also come in stylish prints to suit your needs. Another "must" is a reliable, decent rainproof bag that you don't have to check for water damage every now and then.

For jewelry, this season prescribes minimalism. Jewelry must be bright and complimentary to your clothes. Stone studded jewelry is most appropriate for they add glamour without making you look overdressed.
