Fabrics you can wear this monsoon As the monsoon hits Mumbai with greater tenacity, here’s a guide for you to pick the right fabrics for this season when you’re putting together your monsoon wardrobe With the monsoon setting in quicker this year and in greater force, one thing that people need to keep in mind is to opt for the right fabrics for the weather. While the humidity is also on the rise, a lot of those summerfriendly fabrics need to be kept aside, for they aren’t suited for this weather. Lighter, yet stronger, fabrics are what people need to opt for. Some of the most favoured fabrics are cottons, mul and light-weight silk fabrics. Also, one should stay away from fabrics which usually tend to stick to one’s skin due to the rains. This would mean bidding goodbye to fabrics such as knits and linen during the season, despite their ‘cool’ factor, as they tend to shrink when in contact with water. Practicality is another factor to be kept in mind during the rains. With the impending threat of mud and slush being splattered on your garment, it is better to choose fabrics that can be resist those. Pure cottons, natural fabrics, gabardine, denim and crepe silk are some fabrics that can resist that splash of mud or water. Opting for chiffons and nylons also make a wise choice, as they dry quickly. Cotton and silk blended fabrics are also advisable because they tend to stay fresh and straight during humid times unlike most others.
