Okay but seriously, have you ever met a season more made for drama than the monsoon? The skies turn moody, the breeze picks up, and suddenly, you're starring in your own slow-mo moment… cue the swishy dress and that I’m-the-main-character walk. It’s giving Fearless in the rain, hair a little messy, heart very full. If there’s a time to fall in love with dresses all over again? It’s right now babe. And trust Westside to come through with the ones that hug, flutter, and flatter in all the right places. Romantic? Yes. Practical? Definitely. Forecast-proof? Who cares. This season, we’re dressing for the plot twist.
Let’s talk silhouettes, shall we? The kind that moves. That midi with the cheeky slit? Major energy. That crisp shirt dress that looks like you just threw it on (but still somehow stole the spotlight)? We’re obsessed. And don’t get us started on the asymmetrical hems and ruffles. They’re giving unbothered, rain-kissed goddess. It’s all floaty, breezy, and basically made to flirt with the weather. Oh, and the colour palette? Soft neutrals, earthy tones, and juicy prints that look even better under grey skies. Yes, your dress can have a better monsoon mood than you, and that’s okay.
Now, you know we have to style it right. Throw on a cropped jacket when the breeze gets bold. Or drape a lightweight scarf for that nonchalant flair. Feet getting wet? No stress. Platform sandals, strappy flats, or sneakers with attitude are totally in. And the hair? Give us that slick bun, that side braid, that humidity-proof slay. Top the look with chunky jewellery or a cute statement bag, and voilà, you’re serving rainy-day realness at brunch, baby.
And can we have a moment for fabric? Westside knows what it’s doing. Nothing too clingy, nothing too heavy. Just breathable, comfy textures that look elevated but feel like you’re still in your element. You’re not just surviving the monsoon. You’re serving it. Easy, breezy, and entirely effortless. Just like your monsoon moodboard.
So go on. Romanticise the rain, throw in a twirl, and make every puddle your runway. Your very own monsoon montage moment is here. And Westside’s got the whole mood waiting for you.
