Dressing UP for the Rainy Days!

Are you having a major break-out on what to wear in this rainy season?
You're not the ONLY one!
In all occasion, a lot of men and women or even teenagers have been dealing with it every now and then.
Since I live in a tropical country like the Philippines usually the rainy season (tag-ulan, tagalog term for the rainy season) starts from June until the month of November.
So expect the heavy pour of rain can bring a lot into your moods and worst of all, it can even ruin your day for not finding that perfect dress to match.
Well, don't let it happen!
...are you having those days?...

~Useful Tips on How to Stay Chic and Comfy in this Monsoon:
...When it comes to clothes now is the best time to shuffle your wardrobe and pull some of the funky clothes you had kept away for months. ~Clothing Tips~
- Get back into your dungarees matched with funky bright T-shirts either in floral prints or in pastels.
- You should consider the dampness that will continue for days during the season, it is preferrably avoid thick clothing material like denims, cords, or thick cottons and mixes.
- Switch to chiffons and other lighter fabrics that take lesser time to dry so if you are out in the rain and get drenched, you will not have to sit and shrink until you are dry.
- Knee-length dresses that are not too sticky but fit well to your body, or capris, skirts, cotton leggies teamed with short or hip-length tops depending on the body structure shall make the perfect wear for a day out on the rains.
- Mixed Denim pants that can be conveniently folded and take lesser time to dry, matched with cool cotton t-shirts or casual shirts in pastels or prints too make great monsoon wears.
- For an evening or a party wear during the monsoons, go for Lycra chic shirts and pants or even Lycra business suits that are easy to wash too.
- Avoid wearing layered dresses in the rainy seasons as they only add to the muddle.
Make-up Tips for the Rainy Days.
The trick is to keep it minimum and to have it light. - Use only waterproof products for the season so that the rains do not mess up your face.
- Pastel colours are best for the season, as they give a refreshing look and also add some drama to the face.
- Use waterproof eyeliners, mascaras and lipsticks that stay longer. Matte finish suits best on rainy days; as it does not make the face look oily and sticky during the monsoons.
- Keeping your skin clean and clear should be the mantra for all seasons though, but the monsoons demand a little extra care, as there is already a lot of moisture in the air that tends to dampen the skin. Clean your skin regularly with a good cleanser followed by a toning and moisturizing process suitable to your skin type. Wash your face repeatedly to avoid accumulation of dirt, germs or oil on your face.
- For your hair, it is best to keep a hustle free hairstyle for the rainy seasons so that your hair does not mess in the rains. Wash your hair daily with a good mild shampoo to keep your scalp clean all the time. Use of conditioners should be limited for the monsoon days, as conditioners tend to limp your hair.

With the cold weather comes the search for the perfect coat, and this year you don't have to sacrifice style for warmth... What To Wear Coat Tips!
- Choose a coat based on your style. People consider a coat to be a throw-away item, in the sense that it is only about use-value and that you don't have it on for very long. But when considering your options, look for coats that compliment the style you have created for yourself.
- Buy neutral colors before brights. Again, when investing in a coat, start off with a great neutral, which does not have to be black. Try the softer neutrals like gray, brown, navy, and camel. Save the fire engine red coat as your second coat purchase. Again, when investing in a coat, start off with a great neutral, which does not have to be black. Try the softer neutrals like gray, brown, navy, and camel. Save the fire engine red coat as your second coat purchase.
- Remember to leave some room! When buying a mid-weight coat, remember that while it may feel warm by itself in October, come January you will layer long undies, lots of knitwear, (even fitted jackets!) under that thing! So give yourself some wiggle room to layer. Not oodles, but if your coat "just" fits in the shoulder, sleeve and hip, go up a size.
Classic Style Coat
This is a sample of Banana Republic's Toggle Coat.The camel coat style also coming from Banana Republic offers clean lines of seaming and structure that are classically stylish. The silhouette, while not being fitted, is still slim. Don't overwhelm yourself in lots of coat, but a looser cut will give you options to layer as it gets colder. Camel is a great neutral companion for brights as well as neutrals. You could easily pair a classic coat with fuchsia or red for a modern, sophisticated look.
Stacy London's suggest: Coat: Banana Republic, $218; jewelry: Les Neraides and R.J. Graziano

For Petite
There are lots of fitted leather jackets this season...If you're petite, they should fit your frame snugly, which is important when you are very small. Petite women can look like they are drowning in their clothes, and coats and jackets are no exception. Your body will have more presence if the clothes you wear are tailored and your frame fills the garment. Otherwise, it is easy to look like you are playing dress up. A fitted jacket is a great layering piece as well. It will look great under another coat when it gets chillier.

~Speaking of Trendy Coats~
For example, a trendy H&M coat is still a classic houndstooth print in black and white.The inverted pleats and the bubble shape make it a bit more of the 60s style trend that's in fashion right now but the timelessness of the print and the classic color combination make this a great coat for a woman in her 20s. I love it with jeans but this coat would look great with a simple mini dress or black trousers as well.
S.L. suggests: Coat: H&M, $99; jeans: Express, $59.50; turtleneck: Isaac Mizrahi for Target, $27.99; jewelry: Paste by Tracy Kahn and Gerard Yosca; shoes: Steve Madden
Maternity Coat
So many pregnant women out there want to look great at the same time don't want to spend a huge amount of money on a wardrobe's that's temporary to wear...Try a jacket that works with day and evening wear and isn't so heavy, simply because I find pregnant women tend to feel much warmer when pregnant. You can layer based on your needs during your term.
S.L. suggests: Coat: Liz Lange for Target, $59.99; shirt: Mimi Maternity @ Destination Maternity, $98; pants: Pea in the Pod @ Destination Maternity, $155; jewelry: R.J. Graziano; shoes: Steve Madden

~Muti-functional Coat
For example, the chocolate brown coat from Mexx is ideal because the collar gives it some drama, and it works with office-appropriate clothing but isn't so structured that you couldn't throw it on with boots and jeans and go grocery shopping on the weekend. It's got working mom versatility and if you've only got a budget for one coat, make sure it can do double duty in your life!S.L. suggests: Coat: Mexx, $199; jewelry: Susan Hanover and Sparkling Sage
