What’s that one thing we crave after that stroking heat and sunburns? Monsoon! Freshly drizzled streets, the aroma of the dampened earth, cool breezes, and the pitter-patter of rain on the window pane are all we badly yearn for. Isn’t it? But amongst these refreshing soul-soothing changes comes the stickiness. Nobody enjoys the feeling of damp clothes sticking to you like a second skin. Agreed that monsoon is enchanting, but sticky clothes? Not really!

It does. And if you’ve made up your mind to give your innerwear collection a makeover but don’t know where to start, keep reading.
There are certain things we need to take care of before shopping for anything, especially when it’s about seasonal revamp. So we’re gonna share a few monsoon lingerie shopping tips before you plan your next shopping spree.
Picking the right moisture-wicking fabric
Monsoon is synonymous with the sudden cloudburst and the stickiness that comes with it. Here’s where moisture-wicking fabrics come in handy. Fabrics like cotton and polyamide draw sweat and moisture away from your skin, keeping you breezy, fresh and comfortable all day long. You never know when you’ll get all drenched, so it’s wise we remain prepared ahead of time.
Vibrant hues & cool prints
Monsoon is associated with gloomy, grey days but lingerie doesn’t have to follow suit. Keep your spirits and fashion vibrant with fun prints and bold bright hues. From quirky florals that sync you with mother nature to electric blues, chilly reds, sunshine yellows, and bright oranges, these picks will keep your spirits and mood high on the dullest days,
Seamless solution bras
Monsoon showers are unpredictable, you won’t realise how the very next minute, you’re all drenched. The worst that can happen is the bra lines peeping through your clothes. We’re sure that you don’t want this to happen. That’s why get yourself a seamless bra that easily disappears under any outfit, giving you a smooth and flawless finish. No more embarrassing outlines even if you get caught in sudden downpours. Choose solid colours that match with your outwear instead of prints or fabrics like lace that might leave a trace.
Nude bras
Nude bras are a must-have for monsoons, especially for office-goers. The neutral tone blends perfectly with your skin and goes unnoticed under light-coloured outfits, creating a smooth and invisible layer. So you’ll be all relaxed from embarrassing moments during surprise downpours, especially when you’re in the middle of your journey to your office.
Lightly padded bras
Monsoon is sticky and humid but you don’t have to fret. Stay fashion-forward and comfortable with lightly padded bras. This bra style has double-layered cups that ensure enough support and prevent headlight effects while keeping you cool with its breathable, lightweight fabric. You’ll find them in zillions of quirky and pretty styles, crafted from breezy cotton and buttery soft polyamide fabrics, which are the ideal fabric types to opt for.
Bramisoles
How will you feel when we say that you don’t need to wear a bra ever after? Sounds dreamy yet impractical right? Introducing bramisole, a type of camisole that has an inbuilt bra. It offers the ideal balance of the support you require and the independence you yearn for. Go for those classic nudes and black bramisole, the safe bet during heavy downpours.
Undies
Just like your bra, your panties need a monsoon makeover. Incorporate the season’s vibrant energy with playful prints; like blooming florals, tropical fruits, quirky animal prints. But don’t get glued to styles only, mindfully select the fabric that gives you comfort apart from the cool look. Wrong fabrics can cause discomfort, irritation, foul aroma, and worst of all – infections. Hence, invest in breathable cotton and moisture-wicking polyamide fabric panties for the monsoon.
While the monsoon brings soothing rains, it doesn’t have to dampen your fashion enthusiasm, both under and over! With these tips, you can confidently choose the perfect lingerie pieces for your monsoon wardrobe. From comfort-first fabrics and mood-boosting bold colours, every bit of this monsoon season will feel cheerful and high-spirited. Be it a hectic day at work or a leisurely vacation you’re dreaming of. So waiting for what? Give your lingerie wardrobe a refresh today!
