Fashion for a rainy day: Oversized shirts, sandals, waterproof accessories—monsoon fashion is a bit of caution & plenty of fun

As the monsoon settles in and the sky opens up, designers are redefining rainy-day dressing — prioritising breathable, quick-drying fabrics and layered silhouettes that are as practical as they are polished. From unisex shower-proof coats to utility cargos and easy-breezy dresses, the focus is on elevated everyday pieces that blend comfort with city-ready cool. “Rather than technical gear, we’re celebrating monsoon with fashion that adapts —versatile, and rooted in everyday wearability,” says Umashan Naidoo, Head of Customer & Beauty at Trent Ltd. Westside’s curated edits are designed to handle sudden showers while keeping your style intact — think urban-trek looks and lightweight layers.
