College is the place where you can see the latest trends in clothing and fashion. College wear then becomes a major part of every college girl’s life!
With so many choices in college apparel available, you can keep looking stylish always, but what do you do on rainy days? How do you then decide your college wear in this weather? Rainy season needs a makeover of your wardrobe. Here are some college wear tips to keep you stylish and comfortable at the same time!
Keep your jeans and denims away.. you do not end up feeling wet and cold the whole day. Go in for smart cotton capris instead! Brighten up the dull days by choosing your chinos/capris/three-fourths in bright colours like red, green or purple. These colors will not just brighten up your mood but also avoid ‘showing’ in case you get all drenched.
Cottons rule the summers, but not the monsoons. You need light clothing that can dry up easily, so pick your tops/dresses in georgettes and chiffons for the rainy season. College apparel in these fabrics is easily available in all leading brands!
Leather shoes will absorb the water and not just make your footwear heavy but even spoil it! Pretty looking sandals are also not for monsoons.. go in for floaters, clogs, jelly shoes or anything that is slip resistant.
Go in for skirts and flowing dresses. They not just uplift the mood of the season but will also keep you cool amidst all the humidity in the air. However, if you drive a two wheeler to college, it is best to stay away from them. Maybe, you could pool in a cab with your friends this monsoon to avoid getting wet instead.
Although not a part of college clothing, this was too useful a tip to be ignored. Make sure you use a waterproof eyeliner at all times lest you end up with smudgy eyes and colored cheeks.
So, be cool, be fashionable and soak in the weather (literally)!

People say that women are the greatest enemies of women. I vehemently disagree. It is the patriarchal mindset that makes women believe in the wrong ideology.
The entire world celebrates International Women’s Day on March 8, 2024. It should be a joyful day, but unfortunately, not all women are entitled to this privilege, as violence against women is at its peak. The experience of oppression pushes many women to choose freedom. As far as patriotism is concerned, feminism is not a cup of tea in this society.
What happens when a woman decides to stand up for herself? Does this world easily accept the decisions of women in this society? What inspires them to be free of the clutches of the oppression that women have faced for ages? Most of the time, women do not get the chance to decide for themselves. Their lives are always at the mercy of someone, which can be their parents, siblings, husband, or children.
In some cases, women do not feel the need to make any decisions. They are taught to obey the patriarchal system, which makes them believe that they are right. In my family, I was never taught to make decisions on my own. It was always my parents who bought dresses and all that I needed.
14 years after her last feature film Dhobi Ghat, storyteller extraordinaire comes up with her new film, Laapataa Ladies, a must watch.
*Some spoilers alert*
Every religion around the world dictates terms to women. The onus is always on women to be ‘modest’ and cover their faces and bodies so men can’t be “tempted”, rather than on men to keep their eyes where they belong and behave like civilized beings. So much so that even rape has been excused on the grounds of women eating chowmein or ‘men will be men’. I think the best Hindi movie retort to this unwanted advice on ‘akeli ladki khuli tijori ki tarah hoti hai’ (an alone woman is like an open jewellery box) came from Geet in Jab We Met – Kya aap gyan dene ke paise lete hain kyonki chillar nahin hain mere paas.
The premise of Laapataa Ladies is beautifully simple – two brides clad in the ghunghat that covers their identity get mixed up on a train. Within this Russian Doll, you get a comedy of errors, a story of getting lost, a commentary on patriarchy’s attitude towards women, a mystery, and a tale of finding oneself, all in one. Done with a mostly light touch that has you laughing and nodding along.
