This article is a guide to understanding summer fashion that is always fresh while at the same time keeping you dry and comfortable. From flirty sundresses to elegant maxis, Madame got you covered. 

Here's how to style your summer dresses for a rainy day with panache.

  1. The Flirty Sundress

Styling Tips

  1. Fabrics selection: Go for light cotton or linen which are known for their ability to wick away moisture from your skin and keep you fresh during hot months. Heavy fabrics take such a long time to dry off.

  2. Layering: Layer your sundress with a cropped denim jacket or a utility one. Additionally, these types of jackets not only contribute to an improved fashion sense but also keep you dry should a sudden drizzle fall.

  3. Footwear: Pick water repellent sandals or low heeled ankle boots so that your feet do not get wet. Do not choose flip flops since they can cause accidents due to slipping.

  4. Accessories: A wide-brimmed hat is a patch over for your locks against slight drizzles, while a crossbody bag with a water-resist lining is perfect to store your valuables.

Example Look: Go for a colourful sleeveless cotton sundress having some flowers. Add a denim cropped jacket, waterproof flip-flops and straw hat. To crown it up, put on yourself a waterproof crossbody bag including some conservative jewelry.

2. The Breezy Maxi Dress

Styling Tips

  1. Make sure to pick lightweight breathable materials such as chiffon or jersey. As they allow fast drying and do not stick, when wet. 

  2. Layering will not challenge your appearance if you put on a lightweight trench coat or a long cardigan for protection against cold. 

  3. It is advisable to have closed-toe flats or waterproof loafers in order to keep dry feet throughout. 

  4. Go for a compact umbrella which fits easily into your bag on rainy days or when in need of protection from high winds, and wear remarkable necklaces that make you look more stylish.

Example Look: A lightweight trench coat in a pastel chiffon maxi dress, waterproof loafers, a delicate pendant necklace on the other hand. At the same time, a compact umbrella in a chic tote bag will finish the outfit.

3. The Classic Wrap Dress

Styling Tips

  1. Choose Jersey or synthetic blends because they resist water and dry quickly when choosing fabrics. 

  2. Use a belted raincoat to assist in defining your shape while, at the same time, offering full protection from rain. 

  3. To keep looking fashionable and ensuring that you stay dry, mid-heel waterproof pumps or fancy rain boots are sufficient.

Example Look: A vibrant synthetic blend skater dress with a cropped rain jacket, waterproof sneakers, and a patterned scarf. Complete with bold earrings and a practical yet stylish backpack.

5. The Elegant Slip Dress

Styling Tips
