It’s the season of muddied pants and damp clothes, which refuse to dry up soon, a reason why Mumbaikars often indulge in monsoon shopping to tackle the season’s hassles in advance. If not for redoing entire wardrobe, there are definitely takers for light-weighted bottom wear and footwear, which can help deal with puddles, potholes, crowded streets and public transport.

Gone are those days when people chose a pair of jeans as their go-to bottom wear, especially when they are hard to maintain during rains. Today, a diverse collection of stylish and comfortable bottoms such as skirts of varied lengths, shorts of comfy fabrics, culottes, cigarette pants, jeggings, palazzos and trendy trousers are available and are slowly becoming an alternative to the classic jeans.
