Monsoon
is
coming!
Time
to
slip
into
those
colourful
clogs,
cutesy
silicone
bellies
or
rubber
gumboots.
But
*remember*
as
romantic
and
refreshing
rains
are,
it’s
that
season
of
the
year
when
functionality
precedes
fashion.
Now
that
you
already
know
the
do’s,
here
are
all
the
don’ts
of
monsoon
footwear.

Canvas
shoes
are
a
bad,
Bad,
BAD
idea!
Unless
you
want
to
feel
like
a
soggy
fish
all
day
long.

Dreamy
Chandni
saris
are
all
good
but
pastels
are
a
strict
no-no
if
you
don’t
want
any
stains
on
your
beloved
kicks
while
it
rains
cats
and
dogs
outside.

The
whiter,
the
worser.
Rein
in
your
inner
Jeetendra
in
the
monsoon.

Prancing
around
in
pretty
juttis
in
the
season
of
muddy
puddles
is
a
sure
shot
way
of
destroying
all
that
intricate
handwork
and
embroidery.

It’s
not
for
ethical
reasons
alone,
save
those
leather
shoes
for
winter,
stick
to
waterproof
stuff
until
then.

Those
boots
(that
burned
a
large
hole
in
your
pocket)
were
made
for
walking,
yes.
Just
not
in
torrential
rain
unless
made
from
rubber.

It’s
just
not
wise
to
tip
toe
in
fancy
designer
heels,
especially
the
ones
that
come
with
steep
price
tags
and
little
chance
of
survival.

Not
all
that
glitters
is
gold
in
the
rain.
Say
no
to
metallic
shoes.
One
downpour
and
they’ll
lose
their
sheen
before
you
know
it.
