Nigeria is moving fully into the season of heavy downpour, it is important for you and your children, therefore, to dress appropriately during this period so as to avoid unnecessary embarrassment. A few tips to keep you dry.
LONGER JACKETS HELP YOU STAY DRY
An umbrella can prevent rain from beating you directly, but it can’t cover the entire body. So try a jacket that can cover your body. A mid-thigh jacket will cover your body to some extent and prevent you from catching cold.
WEAR FAST DRYING CLOTHES
For this season, put on clothes that will dry up in no time if you are beaten by rain so your day will not be messed up as wet clothes can make you uncomfortable.
DRESS MORE IN DARK COLORS.
If you live in a city like Lagos where rain does not announce its coming, you should note that your trousers or attire should be more of dark colors that can be wiped easily when stained with dirt. It’s very untidy to work around wearing stained clothes knowing that it may not rain at where you are heading to.
KEEP YOUR CHILDREN WARM
You can’t tell if the rain will fall when your children are in their schools or elsewhere. To prevent cold from getting into them, you should ensure they go around with their sweaters or clothes that keep them warm this season.
USE THE RIGHT ACCESSORIES
Selecting the right accessories can save a lot on a wet day. Make use of nylon based bags as you carry your leather handbags and also avoid wearing metal jewelry to prevent them from rusting quickly.
