Tiger Shroff wears white pants, which are mostly on the ‘not to wear' list this season. With options limited for men, shorts with a white shirt or jumper work best.

Sonam Kapoor sports loose, flowy maxis, which are a timeless trend and a wardrobe must-have. But this length is one you shouldn't opt for in this weather

Masaba, Designer
The easiest way to sport white is to incorporate it into your accessories, like an umbrella, a poly nylon jacket or raincoat. You can opt for white clutches/ totes. Loose, white sweatshirts and tees with quirky graphics or cool slogans are in vogue and work well. Avoid white bottoms. Sporting a monochrome look with black bottoms will exude a casual but chic vibe. If you want to wear a thick cotton skater dress, don't forget to layer. Throw on a bomber jacket or a white waistcoat. Opt for natural, breathable fabrics like cotton and linen, which won't stick to your skin.

Rocky s, Designer
The best way to wear white for men is to simply layer it and wear deeper tones underneath. Go with breathable fabrics like cotton, voiles and chiffon, but make sure the under-layer is not sheer.

A nice poplin shirt over a white V-neck t-shirt worn with linen or denim shorts are apt for the rains. Accessorising with white is hot this season. White wayfarers look cool on most Indian skin tones.

Slippers/ shoes made of waterproof patent are big too. If you are open to taking risks, complete the look with a white linen hat. Everything mono white is perfect this season.

Hitlist style guide
>> Choose your bottoms carefully. Opt for feminine skirts, shorts or culottes instead of full-length outfits.
Since an all-white look is risky, opt for big, graphic prints. Tropical prints, polka dots and floral hues work well with a white base.
>> Pair an all-white short dress with a bomber, denim jacket or trench coat. This keeps the rain from staining the dress and also gives you freedom to play around with layers. You can also add a white lace or crochet shrug to your overall ensemble if you want that pop of white.
>> Experiment with hues similar to white. Beige, blush, off-white and cream work too.
