Fabrics: Prefer Polynylons, rayons, nylon, mixed cottons. It is best to avoid denims and materials that bleed colour. Soft cottons and poly-fabrics are the best bet. Nylons, cotton blends, mixed fabrics, blended cottons and nets are the fabrics for monsoon. You need something that dries fast and keeps you warm at the same time. No crepes or chiffons as these don't keep up well in the wet weather and get crinkled easily. Floral prints would be another option for a cloudy day.
