The Guide offers a peek into the latest monsoon accessories
It’s that time of the year when you must hit the stores and stock up on rain gear.
Rain check
Vibrant hues are in trend this year. So opt for bags, raincoats or umbrellas in bright colours. Light-weight accessories are also in demand and are available at reasonable prices as well. Figure out your need and then opt for the accessory. For example, if you are a bike-rider, a full-fledged raincoat will serve the need rather than a sportswear jacket. Do not spend too much on the accessories; the monsoon will only last for a short period of time and you don’t want to use the same accessories again the next year. Here’s a glance at the bags, raincoats and umbrellas for the monsoon:
