Top 5 Dressing Tips To Stay Fashionable During Rainy Season
The rainy season is always welcome in Nigeria because it brings with it, freshness in the air and also helps things grow.
However, dressing appropriately for the weather is quite important as we go about our day-to-day activities. Why? The rain never gives any warning before it drops on us. Even weather forecasts are sometimes incorrect and you don’t want to be caught unawares in the rain.
Below, we’ll be looking at staples that everyone should have to stay fashionably and well-equipped for the rainy season:
1) Always carry an umbrella and raincoat: Obviously, you have to own an umbrella and if you don’t, invest in one. There are really affordable cute lightweight umbrellas in trend now that come in the shape of a water bottle and can be rolled and put in your bag. Buy one and always carry with you, it will come in handy. A raincoat too is a must-have. They are easily foldable as they come in different shapes, sizes and lengths. You can bring it out to wear if rain suddenly starts and just as easily shake the water off it when you take it off too. What’s more, it will shield your clothes from getting wet and is very lightweight so it won’t weigh you down. Get an umbrella and raincoat, and you are 80% ready for the rainy season.
2) Get hoodies: Hoodies, cardigans, sweaters, raincoats and the likes are essential for the rainy season. They will keep you warm and relatively shaded from the rain should you happen to be caught up in it.
3) Layer with Lightweight Fabrics: While the rainy season brings showers, it doesn’t necessarily mean cooler temperatures. Layering is key to adjusting your outfit to changing weather conditions. Start with a lightweight base layer made from breathable fabrics like cotton or linen. Add a thin sweater or cardigan that can be easily removed if the weather gets warmer. This way, you’ll be prepared for both rain and potential sunshine.
4) Choose your clothing wisely: Don’t choose fabric like chiffon that will get you thoroughly soaked and become see-through should you get caught in the rain. Go for better fabric like polyester which will repel the water to an extent or thick cotton that will take time to get soaked.
5) Don’t Forget Waterproof Footwear: Invest in a sturdy and fashionable pair of rain boots or waterproof shoes to keep your feet dry and protected. Look for options with good traction to prevent slipping on wet surfaces. From sturdy flat shoes to sneakers or even Crocs, there are various affordable foolproof footwear options and styles available to suit your preference and the intensity of rainfall in your area. Consider neutral colours like black or brown that can easily be paired with different outfits.
With these few tips, you can stay on top of your fashion game and simultaneously dress for the weather as well.
