India, June 21 -- Forget hiding inside until the clouds clear, make the pouring rain your personal runway

A sudden downpour usually signals the immediate death of good taste. City streets instantly flood with tragic plastic ponchos and absolutely ruined suede shoes. The general public surrenders entirely to the damp gloom. They pack away their favourite pieces and settle for looking completely miserable until the clouds clear. However, a seasoned style veteran knows a little water never destroyed a brilliant ensemble. Let the weather throw a massive tantrum. The monsoon season actually offers the ultimate styling challenge. Master the art of wet-weather dressing and watch the gloomy streets transform into a personal runway.

Your raincoa...
