Rainy days are upon us, and we're all familiar with having to worry about coming to work looking drab because of the drizzle. That said, we've come up with a capsule wardrobe you can either buy or draw inspiration from if you don't know where to start! All you need are 20 fashion items. They are totally easy to mix and match, but the best part is that these lightweight pieces will allow you to layer even in a tropical country like ours! Read on.
TOPS
Here, we chose two basic tops: a button-down shirt and a thin turtleneck top. We added tops that have a classic silhouette but with subtle accents to add edge to the outfits.

JACKETS
Outerwear is crucial to any rainy day outfit. That said, we opted to include a denim jacket for casual days, checkered and pastel pink blazers fit for the office, and a lightweight trenchcoat that's versatile enough to be worn anywhere.
