Deepika Padukone
And that's Deepika Padukone's version of 'go green' flaunting those perfect stems in itsy bitsy denims.

It's sexy. It's practical. No more soggy, dripping jeans.

Kat's knotty ways!

Katrina Kaif
Get playful and pair those chic shorts with a knotted blouse in floral or checkered prints and slip on a bunch of chunky bangles like Katrina Kaif here.

It sure got her in unusually good spirits. Right, Sallu?

Tank it or leave it!

Taapsee Pannu
Nothing like Taapsee's basic tank dress to keep it fuss-free and minimal when it begins to pour cats and dogs.

Say no to sleeves

Bipasha Basu
Always a good idea to wear sleeveless in monsoon.

Like Bipasha Basu, you can always pat your arms dry instead of squirming at a damp fabric clinging to your skin.

Jumpingum!

Diana Penty
A printed jumpsuit is another excellent alternative to shorts or skirts. Team it up with a sleek blazer or soft shrug and you're armed for a deluge.

Don't you think Diana Penty looks chic and comfy at once?

Bright versus boring

Shraddha Kapoor
Monsoon generates a dull grey weather wherever it arrives.

Bright things up with a flowy red gown like Shraddha Kapoor to beat the blues. And the greys.

Skirting the issue!

Alia Bhatt
Or like Alia Bhatt, go the Gossip Girl route in a lace top, dark blue shorts and structured jacket -- which is both girly and classy.

And don't forget to lug Ms Bagwati!

Gearing up for rains!

Rani Mukerji
Most of all DO NOT forget to toss in a trendy/retro raincoat and umbrella in your purse.

Rani Mukerji has a blast reproducing Sridevi's zany look from Chaalbaaz! We've got proof too.
