Monsoon makes one feel like dumping all the Indian wears and opting for western casuals instead. But, a range of collection offers a wonderful mix of traditional and contemporary styles that complement different personalities and help bring out the best in them.

Monsoon being at our doorsteps, it is time for all the gorgeous girls out there to dig out their monsoon special outfits that goes with the season and its stifling components. The ingredients which are essential in the forthcoming drenching days such as mud, water and the rain itself are not a very good friend to the clothes, especially the cotton ones as they are time-takers when it comes to drying them off. Though, on one hand, the monsoons make us feel happier and better, the fear of destroying our clothes and roaming around just like a ghost becomes our constant companion.

Women simply love to dress their best these days. New collections comprising of stylish smart kurtas, kurta dresses, indie tops, slim pants and many more are puzzling to choose from as they look equally appealing whether you are a vibrant colour lover or a simplistic sophisticated one. These collections are all about feeling comfortable and cosy in style.  Rangriti, one of the brands specialising in the genre of monsoon wears, is the epitome of fusion fashion and adds a unique touch to your vibrant and radiant look.

Another popular brand, Ancestry known across the country for affordable yet eye soothing collection, is inspired by the vivid Indian Textile Jamdani. Named after the Persian words ‘jama’ (cloth) and ‘dana’ (woven motif), the exquisite handwoven Jamdani flourished under the Mughals in Dacca, and the rest of unified Bengal. From the royal families of yore to modern connoisseurs, Jamdani has always flaunted an aura of exclusivity. Ancestry's Jamdani collection recasts this artisanal craft in modern cuts and silhouettes. Elephant, fish and club motifs imbue this chic collection with a rustic charm and quirkiness.

The collection comes in different shades of white which makes one wonder if the collection would at all be suitable for the grubby season. But the trick is all in the fabric. Jamdani is woven with fabrics that are quick and easy to clean.So, don't fear the mud and let go the stress of washing and drying clothes. It's high time, that you don't let monsoon come in between of you and your dressing collection.
