Not all white becomes transparent after getting wet. Fabrics like thick cotton, lace, silk, denim and wool stay stiff and do not become see-through even in a downpour. But stay away from sheer, chiffon and organza as they tend to become transparent once wet.
The way you style white during the season is of utmost importance. Even if you wear a chiffon dress layer it with a denim shirt for ample coverage. Go for boxy styles in shirts and dresses; for example, buy a white shirt made out of thick cotton so that you do not have to compromise on your office dressing codes.
If you are not a fan of white clothing, accessories are a great way to incorporate the colour in your outfit. PVC bags, white jelly shoes and chunky cuffs are smarter options to enhance dark hued outfits during rainy days.
Its swing shape is great way to add some drama to your look. Wear it with kitten heels to dress things up a little or sliders if you want to play it easy.
