We all sang the popular nursery rhyme Rain, rain go away… when we were toddlers, but continued to enjoy the rains, getting drenched and playing with colourful paper boats that our parents made for us. Those were the days when one never bothered about looks nor had an urge to create an impression on friends or bosses.

As we started growing up, we realised that most of us unfortunately can’t look stunningly beautiful while getting wet like Aishwarya Rai in Guru as she sang Barso re megha…

Nor can we expect to look like the late Madhubala and expect someone like Kishore Kumar to hum Ek ladki bheegi bhaagi si…

So the only option left for commoners like us is to try to look our best by dressing up well, looking trendy and nonchalant even when soaked to the skin!

“This season is all about fun, frolic and femininity. Wear lots of floral prints which are going to be popular again this season. Ditsy and bold print dresses with ethnic feel to it will be blooming everywhere in bold bright colours, acids, primary and block colours. The brighter, the better. Fuchsia and yellow are very popular. Ethnic accent continues to be a strong presence in fashion, merging into a globetrotter look", explains Delhibased designer duo Hemant Lalwani and Nandita Raipurani, elaborating on the trendy apparel to wear this monsoon.
