SAY NO TO FITTED CLOTHES
The issue with Fitted clothes is that they stick to body when it is humid. And managing something like this is troublesome. Rather opt for shift dresses and umbrella dresses.

SURPRISING HAIR ACCESSORIES
Weather gods can be really unforgiving towards your hair, they can make it frizzy and greasy. So, a short cut to save you from this misery is to invest in some dry shampoo. Applying it will help absorb the excess oil settled in and help you tame the frizz.
SAY NO TO HEAVY MAKEUP
Don't layer it up as there is a lot of moisture in the air, making your skin greasy and make you makeup look cake-y. So, here is a perfect regime for monsoon season to help you keep it light.
THE FOREVER SAVIOR SUNSCREEN
Sunscreen is a must not only during the summer season but also when it's raining cats and dogs as its UV rays can still create havoc for your skin.
DON'T WEAR DENIMS
Denim as material is really thick and absorbs a lot of water, plus takes time to dry. On getting wet, it really sticks to your skin and thus make it really uncomfortable.
Avoid wearing denims that tend to stick to your skin. It can be quite uncomfortable during the monsoons. pic.twitter.com/YVF6B30X

AVOID WEARING METAL JEWELRY
Wearing metal jewelry can cause rashes or redness around your neck region or between your fingers. So, we suggest you to use jewelry made through laces or fabrics.

DON'T WEAR LEATHER
It catches fungus due to the moisture in the air and can make you lose out on your extremely precious pair of shoes or jacket. So, totally ditch leather in rains.
#StayInStyle Say NO to Leather Shoes in Monsoon - opt for Canvas Shoes, Flip Flops or Formal Crocs instead.

AVOID LYCRA
Lycra is the kind of fabric that is body hugging and can really stick to your body when wet. It's better to avoid it as it's capable of making you conscious.

SAY NO TO HAIR BUNS
Tying your hair into a bun can make moisture accumulate on your scalp and cause dandruff or irritation. So, it's suggested to either keep your hair open or opt for loose ponytails.
DON'T WEAR SPECTACLES
When you work in air conditioned spaces, the moisture in the atmosphere gets mixed up with cool air and can make your glasses foggy and leave droplets on it, making it capable of hindering your eyesight and increasing the power.
