Monsoon-proof your wardrobe: Top 8 fashion tips to stay stylish even in the rain
Rainy days don't mean style takes a backseat. In fact, monsoon is the perfect season to reinvent your wardrobe with pieces that are fashionable and functional. If you're dodging puddles or caught in a drizzle, these smart styling tips will keep you dry, comfy, and oh-so-chic. Monsoon-proof your wardrobe: Top 8 fashion tips to stay stylish even in the rain(Pexels) Here's how to monsoon-proof your clothes without compromising on your style game. 1. Say yes to synthetics Swap out cottons and denims for quick-dry fabrics like polyester, rayon, or blends that don't absorb water. They're lightweight, breezy, and rain-friendly. Chic tip: Go for printed co-ord sets or midi dresses in fluid synthetics. 2. Ditch the denim Denim takes forever to dry and gets super heavy when wet. Instead, try culottes or high-waisted shorts in waterproof or light fabrics. Chic tip: Level up the look with a tucked-in blouse or a belted shirt. 3. Invest in a cute rain jacket Who said raincoats can't be cute? Look for transparent trench-style rain jackets or pastel hooded parkas that double as statement pieces. Chic tip: Pick one with a cinched waist or bold zippers for extra finesse. 4. Go shorter with hems Avoid soggy situations; mini skirts, shirt dresses, and midi lengths are perfect for staying stylish without getting soaked. Chic tip: Pair with ankle boots or jelly sandals for a put-together rainy day look. 5. Waterproof accessories are in Switch your suede totes and leather bags for PVC, nylon, or coated canvas bags. They're weatherproof and trendy. Chic tip: Try transparent bags or bucket bags in bold colours. 6. Opt for bright colours Don't let gloomy skies dull your vibe. Go for neons, corals, and vibrant pastels to pop against grey weather. Chic tip: Colour-block your outfit with a poppy umbrella and printed scarf. 7. Footwear that fights the flood Avoid fabric shoes and instead go for rubber flats, crocs, jelly sandals, or ankle-length gum boots. Chic tip: Look for metallic or matte-finish rain-friendly shoes to add polish. 8. Layer light and smart Layering isn't just for winter. During monsoon, use shrugs, oversized shirts, or waterproof ponchos for practical vibe. Chic tip: Belt a rain poncho at the waist to give it structure and style. Monsoon dressing doesn't have to mean frumpy silhouettes and soggy socks. With the right fabrics, clever layering, and waterproof accessories, you can turn every rainy day into a style moment.

Cricketer Sarfaraz Khan drops 17 Kg, shares before-after pic that stuns fans
After being snubbed for the high-profile England Test series, Indian batter Sarfaraz Khan has undergone a remarkable transformation off the field, shedding 17 kilos in a determined effort to silence critics and reclaim his spot in the national side. Despite a strong start to his Test career and a stellar domestic record, the 27-year-old was overlooked for the five-match Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, with selectors opting for Sai Sudharsan and Karun Nair. Sarfaraz, who was part of the squad during the Australia tour but didn't get a game, was again sidelined, with coach Gautam Gambhir favouring Washington Sundar on seam-friendly pitches. Fitness, particularly weight, has long been seen as a hurdle in Sarfaraz's international journey. While his batting credentials were rarely questioned, concerns over his physique delayed his India debut and continued to cast a shadow over his selection prospects. Now, Sarfaraz is working hard to change that narrative. The Mumbai batter recently shared a photo on Instagram showing his leaner frame, revealing he had lost 17 kilos. The transformation was met with praise from fans, who lauded his dedication and discipline. After missing the England series, Sarfaraz did travel to the UK with the India A side. He scored a gritty 92 in the first unofficial Test but was left out of the next match to make room for KL Rahul's return to the XI. Sarfaraz's father and coach, Naushad Khan, spoke about his son's weight-loss journey in an interview with Hindustan Times earlier this year, revealing the drastic dietary changes the family made together. 'We've completely cut out roti, rice, sugar, maida, and bakery items,' he said. 'We eat broccoli, carrots, cucumbers, salads, grilled chicken, fish, boiled eggs, avocados, sprouts — and drink green tea and green coffee. It's been over a month since we touched roti or rice at home.'
