Dominating monsoon fashion since time immemorial, windcheaters are the ideal way to keep the rain at bay. BeBEAUTIFUL looks at some of the most fashion-forward stores online to give you a list of stylish must-haves.
Windcheaters (pronounced wind-sheet-ers) or windbreakers are light-weight jackets that are usually waterproof. They are meant for the monsoons but can be used throughout the year and are great for deflecting cool winds. These jackets can have collars, hoods, full or half zips, elastic waist or arm bands and come in a plethora of colours. Of course, you know we heart colours and prints, like this windcheater in funky purple!

Price: ₹1619
This quilted Bomber jacket in cherry red is as fashion-forward as it is utilitarian. With a zipper, full sleeves and those comfy front pockets to warm the hands, all you need to do is pair well-fitted jeans or trousers and a thin shirt with it and you’re good to go in the rain!
From: Ebay.in
Price: ₹1960
Combining the zippered detailing and fit of a biker jacket with the material and cut of a windcheater, this jacket in black is one of our favourites. A fitted waistband and the textured upper sleeves add that touch of chic that makes us swoon!
From: Koovs
Price: ₹3500
If you live in one of those regions that gets a good drizzle and has a bit of humidity too, choose a sleeveless windcheater like this one. The contrast collar in red goes beautifully with the bright green of the jacket and won’t be too warm either. Pair it with a full sleeved cotton tee and a denim skirt wth tights to look the ultra urbanite.
From: Flipkart
Price: ₹1349
Meant for colder climes up north, where the rain brings with it the dreaded wind chill factor, this quilted windcheater comes with a faux fur neck and hood and a easy to match colour palette. Who says you can’t look feminine and fashionable while also protecting yourself from the elements?

I have a passion for theatre, film studies, poetry, travel, food, art and, of course fashion. Big rings and shoes are perhaps my sanity and my madness—as is a penchant to find the perfect clothes for my friends, which is something they both hate and love about me. I love to read (and have glasses to prove it!), watch movies (in theatres!) and bore my friends with Neruda quotes. A research hound, I truly (and naively!) believe in the far-reaching yet intimate power of narrative almost as much as I enjoy learning new Muay Thai moves ... how can I be stressed when I can have a go at a delicious, red punching bag?
