When it rains, it’s time to dust your umbrellas up and take them out for a ride to school. It’s also time for you to rethink about your attire and wardrobe. Here are a few footwear choices to think about along with your clothes.

 

The slight rains in Delhi these days, come as a relief to many people including residents who have had to depend on Municipal corporations to get adequate water. As the rains bring good news it also demands a change in your wardrobe.

That’s where footwear becomes an important factor after all nobody wants to go to college wearing drenched socks which would smell eventually. Many times, it’s the last thing that we bother about but choosing the right footwear not only protects you from the everyday puddles and little ponds in the city. It also adds a sense of style. As the saying goes A person is judged by their shoes!

So, here are some footwear choices to try out for your college day!

 

Sports shoes

They are also a favourite choice for students who tend to have an athletic side to them but as these shoes require for you to wear socks, it could become a disaster for you in no time. Wearing no show, linear and pad socks would be a greater alternative as these socks stop at the ankle and thus won’t get wet.

 

Chappals

Turns out that a vast number of students would prefer chappals in the rain than anything else. Yes, it’s true. Wearing chappals is not the biggest fashion blunder to make as these not only are the comfiest footwear but also dry off quickly. A great number of fashionable chappals have come up in the market and thus are surely a good choice.

 

Crocs

his wonder has taken the fashion space by storm and has been dominating it for quite some time now. A mix of both the slippers and shoes. Yet sleeker than both is a great option for students to cope up with their rainy day. Crocks, not only offer comfort but also enables you to hide your legs. These have come up in a number of variations and are available at great prices as well.

 

Boots

An all-time choice for rains, these, may not be the first choice when it comes to pairing them up stylishly with your outfit, but boots have a great sense of style to them. The market today has many variations to the classic boots, with available in leather and other such water-resistant materials. The bulky resemblance also adds weight to the whole appearance and also gives you the ideal cowboy look when paired with jeans. If that is not the ideal look for you there are variations like the motto boots and the duck boots that can obviously find a way to your wardrobe.

 

These are some of the many options that you can try out for the rains. They are, of course, the question of what goes with what.

Experiment with your footwear this season and stand out from the rest of the crowd because who doesn’t.

Delhi has been experiencing a lot of rain lately. For some people, it has only brought inconvenience along with it. Yet there are others who have no qualms about getting drenched in the rain, getting their footwear dirty, or their clothes wet. They are the rain lovers!

Rain, no matter how unwelcome it may seem to some, is very dear to many. It is beautiful to see the sky pouring down the purest of drops to change the harshest temperatures.  The rain lovers have unique and sometimes inexplicable reasons for loving rain. Whenever it rains, they have oodles of ideas to make the most of it.
Following are some of the things rain lovers do when it rains. Those who would want to join their league, can try the following:

1. Enjoy the scenes

Some people love rain, but only from a distance. If you are apprehensive of getting too excited in the rain, appreciate it from a distance. Take charge of a window, a safe corner outside your residence, or even an umbrella with a comfortable pair of shoes will help you a lot. Once you are ready, behold the beauty!

Enjoy the scenes

2. Abandon the umbrella

“What’s in an umbrella?”
Most of those who cherish rains are too bold for umbrellas. You will watch them walking calmly right next to a bunch of people trying to fit under the limited available umbrellas. Rain is not harmful for them. They love to feel it touch them. Being anti-umbrella is being pro nature and definitely, pro rain.
If you wish to enjoy rains, don’t wait outside your classrooms or in the foyers for the rains to stop. Take that leap of love, walk boldly and slowly in the rain and feel one with nature.
Disclaimer: Figure out a way to protect your books in this process.

3. A thinking mind and a sheet of paper

For some reason, rain makes you delve deep into everything. It makes you imagine and think about beautiful concepts and emotions. Rain is a stimulant for a lot of stories. Grab yourself a sheet of paper and pour down your thoughts while the sky is pouring along.

4. Food and rain

Rain can be absolutely irrelevant without food. A lot of people take to thadi (small tea shops) and enjoy looking at people with their hot cup of chai. Some take to cooking hot parathas, or pakoday. A hot cup of coffee is too obvious to mention.

5. Plan an event!

There are people for whom rain is an event. A celebration!
They would curse you if you don’t tell them it was raining. Abandoning sleep won’t be an issue, neither is a good hairstyle! They would rush out when they hear the noise of the rain falling. They will take the most prominent space in some lawn, a terrace or even crazier- a road, and feel it!
Next time you want to enjoy the rain, just step out fearlessly. Stay right there and you will find good and deep feelings rekindling.

6. Some ideas borrowed from recent scenes and encounters

Go out with your significant other and take a long walk. Pair it up with some good music and you are good to go. Don’t forget to hold hands, because the rain just seeps in and both of you end up sharing the drops.

Play loud music on the terrace of your house, flat or PG and call friends over. Then start dancing. It gets that simple.

Generous friends will volunteer to click you some #RainGoals pictures too. Try being a bit dramatic, if you fail, don’t worry. The rain has got your back.

Choose to ride a cycle, or a bike or scooty to feel the rain and wind on your face.

Write a new song, or sing along to one.

Tee hee!
