Tips To Follow This Monsoon While Draping A Saree

It has started to rain and finally monsoon is here. So are you ready to embrace it with the latest style and trend? If you agree to it completely, then flaunt your ethnic style this monsoon and smear a little glam around. Do not allow the rain to keep you aside from your alluring collection of sarees this season. But draping a saree in the rain and then managing it in the mud as well as humidity is a tough task. But do not worry much. Here are the best tips to understand how to wear a saree during the rainy season and yet shine well.

Give Colour The First Priority

Pastel shades, creams or whites are not the colours for the monsoon season. If your wardrobe only includes light shaded sarees then it is time that you get indulged in saree shopping online. Try bright colours like orange, purple, red or blue. Dark colours will help you to fight easily with mud stains and you do not have to worry much like you would have with white or light shaded colours. Moreover, brighter colours sarees like red sarees will not stick to your silhouette if it rains.

Look Out For The Fabric

Chiffon will be best for monsoon. You can also select poly georgette. Keep aside your handloom or cotton sarees. This is because they will be taking a long time to dry out and the stains will also not come off very easily. Do not buy silk sarees as they will go lustreless in the rain.

Select Your Footwear Cautiously

You must be thinking that you need to slip on your high heels when draping a saree. But monsoon is never the correct time to wear those heels. So take out your flats and never wear costly sandals. Leather footwear is also not in trends in rains. But you can try on pretty plastic and rubber footwear during monsoon. You will find many simple and great designs to choose from that will not even appear like plastic. Remember to avoid sandals that come with loose straps.

Add On The Most Suitable Makeup

A saree look is always incomplete without makeup. Try fresh looks rather than opting for heavy makeup. Do not use heavy foundations if it rains. Waterproof eye makeup must be selected. Apply sunscreen, light moisturizer and little foundation. You can always experiment with dark lipsticks and tropical fragrances that will complement your saree collection during the monsoon season. So if you are wearing a red saree keep the makeup minimal.

Drape The Saree Well

Draping is very important. Tie the saree a bit higher than you usually do as it is raining outside. Ensure that it never goes below the ankle. Keep some safety pins in your bag. Pleat the saree neatly and check that the pallu of the saree is not very short or long. During strong winds, you can also use it to wrap your ears and head.

So now that you know how to drape a saree this monsoon, buy one and enjoy the season in style
