Is it just me, or has this summer been especially hot? I feel like every time I step out of the house, even for a few moments, I’m left feeling like a sweaty, slimy mess! And I’m sure all of you can agree. Luckily, one of my favorite seasons is just around the corner! India is eagerly awaiting the monsoon; 3 months of rain to cool down the earth, turn everything from brown to green, wash the layers of dust and pollution away, and basically make life a whole lot better. Except… All the mud and muck everywhere, the unexpected downpours on your way to important meetings, puddles that are as deep as baby pools, garbage flowing freely out of gutters & trashcans onto the streets (gross, but true) and yet throughout this life, work & our routines must continue as usual. Fortunately, there’s a whole lot of monsoon gear to help you prepare for this beautiful and tricky season. From the cutest umbrellas ever, to raincoats, gumboots, phone protectors & more, I’ve made a list of everything you could need to face the rain gods, and exactly where to buy. So with only one month till the rains hit (and with some of these pieces shipping internationally), what are you waiting for? Welcome the monsoon in style with these fun and functional pieces!
Umbrellas
It goes without saying that umbrellas are everyones best friend during the monsoon, and since you’ve got to lug one around everyday, why not make a style statement while you do it? From florals and geometric prints, to indian inspired and clear versions- there’s something for everyone. Take a look at some of my favourite umbrellas online right now!

Raincoats
The less chosen option, but in my opinion way more functional! Raincoats don’t have to be frumpy & plastic-y like many of you may imagine, instead there are some super cool options for both men and women, whether you want to go funky or classic, metallic or matte, long or short! Pair one of these bad boys with an umbrella and you are pretty much invincible against the downpour.

Rain Shoes
I can’t emphasise how much these save your feet in the rain, not only can you stomp through puddles in a way that would make your 5 year old self proud, but they also save your feet from viruses and bacteria that are floating around in puddles and waterlogged streets. In any city, the rain washes garbage and sewage from the drains out onto the streets where it collects and becomes a breeding ground for all sorts of scary diseases, such as leptospirosis. Protect your feet and look cute while you do it with my top picks of gumboots & rain shoes for men & women.
