Any girl from the metro would know that the key to a winning rainy day look is striking that perfect balance of layering—too much and the humidity will get to you, too bare and you’ll shiver while drenched. You know what we mean! The transition from summer to stormy was pretty abrupt this time around; you might be a tad bit lost, so let us help you out. Below are easy-yet-stylish outfit pegs to keep you cozy and dry! Umbrellas up.
#1 Leather jacket
Here’s your excuse to bust out that trusty leather jacket you’re saving for trips abroad! Even things out with a simple tee, a pair of lightweight flared trousers, and some classic, menswear-flavored brogues. Chic.
#2 Double denim
Yes to double denim, always. A scarf might be too much, so opt to accent an all-ivory look with a cute knotted neckerchief (preferrably in printed silk) instead.
#3 Florals
The sun season’s gauzy florals can still find their place in your daily wardrobe; just make sure you punctuate them with a big, boxy blazer!
#4 Cardigans
Cardigans are back in the limelight! Pick one for its interesting texture, then cinch with a belt. No fuss.
#5 Rain parka
A rain parka is practical and trendy. Color-coordinate to really make the most of it!
#6 Oversized button downs
In case you feel that a jacket is too heavy, try throwing on an undone oversized button-down as proxy. We’re all about multi-purposing here.
#7 Extra large!
Stay toasty without having to layer too much! A comfy, extra-large knit over a high-slit midi skirt in complementary hues is a minimalist solution.
#8 Plaid and jeans
Plaid and jeans as a combo may sound a tad underwhelming…but only if you don’t update your silhouettes! A cropped flare, a ruffled top, and low-heeled pumps are the cool way to go.
