Lush green trees, mushy air, sparkling rainbows lurking around in the dark grey sky!But wait, it’s all not all hunky dory as you wish it to be. It also comes with its own set of woes; muck, potholes filled with filthy water and the humidity. This is especially true if you live in a metro.Dressing up for this season isn’t a walk in the rain as well. There are various factors to keep in mind. This is where we come into the picture. We give you a lowdown on all the do’s and don’ts of the season.Points to remember:

The long and short of itClothes take forever to dry and the muck stains ruin it all. So what’s the way out? Shorts! This season stock away the denims and trousers for a more sun-friendly weather. If you must wear denims, keep them short. Fabrics are also important It’s fun and flirty, befits the romance of the season perfectly. The printed top let’s you stand out in the crowd and the fabric ensures that you won’t have to brave the office/college AC while it’s still damp. The denims are cropped and well protected with these pink gumboots. Throw in a wild print umbrella for added protection and pizzazz!In a mood to dress up but the gloominess around is bringing you down? Feel refreshed with these minty shades of blue.
