Designer Archana Kochhar says, "The rains are no excuse to dress badly. In fact, you can accessorise beautifully with the windcheaters, shoes and umbrellas. You can even make drab looking black gumboots attractive."

Nowadays you have a wide range of must-have rain accessories that will make those grey skies seem colourful.

Chic Umbrellas

The umbrellas these days are no more boring. You get them in all shapes, colours and sizes. From transparent and square-shaped umbrellas to aqua coloured ones and those with cartoon characters… your choices are plenty. You could even opt for one with your name embossed on it.

Bag It!

There are a lot of plastic bubble bags available that look colourful and trendy. They are available in different shapes and colours and you can put your leather bag in it.
