It’s official. The monsoons are REALLY here! And we, girls, are faced with a Friday night fashion dilemma. While we love the pouring rains, dressing up for a night out is a bit scary. That muck on our new shiny stilettoes, the water dripping from our hair to our new dress – it can get a bit ugly, to say in the least. So, we’ve put together three date night outfits for you to ease the creases on your forehead. Our tip – it’s all about playing with textures and hemlines while making sure you have that umbrella or raincoat ready. The result? A cracker of an ensemble that is monsoon friendly. Take a look.

3 outfits for romantic date in rains eveningwear white khadi 430x550

Here’s an outfit that combines sophistication and functionality. We've chosen an elegant white skirt made of faux leather that is waterproof and paired it with a sexy khadi cami top. The sequinned dolman sleeve jacket has just the right amount of bling you need to add oodles of glam to your look if you’re heading to a swanky bar/restaurant. Complete your look with a pair of pretty pearl earrings and comfortable kitten heels in black that lend you those extra inches, while still making it easy to walk through the evening.

3 outfits for date in rains peach ruffled top 430x550

Want a great look for a casual dinner without looking like you spent the day in your old jeans? This one’s for you. Pair a pretty ruffled top with an on-trend jacquard skirt in peach. Go for a pink and peach colour palette and opt for these stylish and monsoon friendly platform clogs in hologram silver. Don’t forget a quirky umbrella to complete your look and off you go.

3 outfits for romantic date in monsoon 430x550

If you're heading out dancing, pick up a snazzy LBD. We chose one with a halter style to add oodles of sizzle to your date night. Pair this with a baroque embellished mini clutch and striped heels in a black and gold duo. Invest in a beige trench coat that works with most colours and will be a saviour lest it pours on the way to the club. It also works well to cinch the waist and doesn’t make you look bulky. Score!
