According to city-based stylist Shikha Dhandhia, the choice of fabrics during the monsoon is key. "As men often rely on trousers, opt for cotton and polyester as opposed to denim that soaks up rain water. Women can stick to dresses and skirts. Keep the bottoms neutral but pick brighter colours or pastels for the top," she advises. But in the age of the pandemic, more precautions need to be taken than usual.

Masks: These are available in pretty prints and colours but make sure they-ve got three layers.
