Gloomy days can often feel lifeless and depressing but we shouldn’t let ourselves wallow in this atmosphere. Turn this rainy forecast into an opportunity to showcase your creative style. Whether you’re heading to your classes, going to work, running errands, or enjoying a day off, here are 3 tips to help you shine, even in not-so-ideal weather:
1. Wear the right material
Look for clothes that complement your personal style and keep you warm and dry A.K.A. look for waterproof or water-resistant clothing items. As much as possible, use what you have in your wardrobe. But if it’s not available, investing in stylish waterproof or quick-dry outerwear is key! You can also consider moisture-wicking base layers to keep you dry even without your outerwear.
As you may have noticed, the foundation of any rainy day outfit is the right material that keeps your style in check and still keeps you dry. By layering them smartly, you can maintain a good look, even when the weather is trying to take you off-course.
2. Use good footwear
Footwear is crucial during any weather but even more so during rainy weather. Using the right footwear helps keep your feet comfortable and dry despite navigating puddles and heavy rain. You have plenty of options: for chic looks, there are ankle and knee-high rain boots made of treated leather, or for more casual looks, there are sneakers and sandals made with water resistant materials like rubber.
3. Accessorize wisely
Accessories can make or break your rainy day look. Start with a functional bag that matches your outfit and helps protect your belongings from the rain with waterproof material and sealed seams. A fashionable umbrella is a must have as well! Both of these add-ons can add a pop of color or pattern to your rainy day fashion.
Additional tip: Don’t forget your make-up and mask that help elevate the look. On rainy days, opt for waterproof makeup products and keep your look visible with a transparent mask. Lucky for you, the Jelli M1 mask is available in black, white, and pink so any style you pick, you can match it well!
Rainy weather is never an excuse to get lazy! The rain does not mean that you need to sacrifice style. Instead, use it as inspiration to get creative with what you have in your closet (or maybe, treat yourself with new accessories like the Jelli M1 mask to elevate your outfit). By applying these tips, you can face rain or shine confidently and fashionably!
