It’s that time of the year once again to bring out your umbrellas, hoodies and jackets. Rainy days are looming and just like before, our OOTDs are in peril.
But don’t let the gloomy weather stop you from looking stylish. Staying chic even on rainy days is a must, especially if you are working in the corporate world.
Here are some tips to keep you in style during the rainy days.
FOR HAIR AND MAKE-UP
The weather can be quite harsh to your magnificent locks. Since moisture causes frizzy hair, especially for women, blowing your hair dry is an important after-care. You can also avoid having messy hair by putting it up in a bun or braid.
Also, there is a wide range of waterproof makeup available in different shades and colors. Matching this with your outfit is fun, too!
FOR THE OUTFIT
Layering is good for staying dry, not to mention an opportunity to strut your attire with matching accessories. A raincoat or any waterproof jacket can provide good protection from heavy rains. Women can complement their ensemble with a long coat or waterproof cardigan, while puffer jackets are excellent for those who prefer a more Korean look.
While rain usually means cold weather, it can be quite humid after the downpour. Wearing clothes with quick-drying or breathable fabric can dry and feel fresh all day.
Choose light-colored outfits to contrast the gloomy climate, while darker garments are good for hiding those awkward water splashes.
FOR THE FOOTWEAR
Tropical countries like the Philippines tend to have flooding in some regions, so footwear is another essential you need to consider. Having a good pair of waterproof clogs or boots in your closet will go a long way, alongside some quick-drying socks. You can bring an extra pair to keep your feet dry.
ACCESSORIES
Select accessories that are both stylish and functional, like an umbrella that matches your outfit or those popular transparent ones is an excellent addition. For men, a hoodie or a cap adds layers, together with a nice scarf for the cold weather.
DON’T LET THE RAIN STOP YOUR FROM GLOWING
The rainy season is here and getting wet is inevitable. However, always dress for the occasion to avoid getting sick. Wearing waterproof clothes and quick-drying fabrics will do the job nicely.
Still, it is nice to remain stylish throughout the year. Having a versatile wardrobe will definitely lighten your mood and your workplace even when the weather is not cooperating.
