Rainy Day Lookbook | Closet Essential EP 5

Hello everyone, I am ModeSens fashion director Jing Leng. The weather in Dallas has been crazy the past few weeks! I think I may have brought Seattle's rainy weather here…

Today I am sharing all of my rainy day essentials so that you can stay stylish on rainy days.

Many of you may think that a rainy day wardrobe presents very limited options. When I look in my closet, there’s actually a lot of rainy day possibilities, including clothes, shoes, bags and accessories. When I take a closer look, I find quite a few pieces that I can mix and match for a chic and practical rainy day outfit. I believe many of you have similar items in your closet too.

Rainy Day Clothing Options

Try a solid or printed raincoat, a modern PVC transparent coat, a water resistant windbreaker or your favorite hoodie.

Rainy Days Shoes Options

There are three shoe materials I prefer to wear on a rainy day. The first is rubber.

Either knee-high or ankle rain boots are great choices. You can also wear these while gardening.

The second material is PVC.

Transparent-style boots are very trendy right now. If you want to make your look even more fun and unique, pick up a pair of graphic design PVC shoes.

The third material is patent leather.

Out of all leather material shoes, patent leather is the most durable and easy to clean.

Rainy Days Bag Options

PVC bags are perfect on a rainy day. Brands like Louis Vuitton and Goyard also have their own special denim bag that’s waterproof. It’s okay if a patent leather bag gets wet, but make sure you dry it off as soon as possible.

Accessories

To elevate your rainy day look, use a see-through umbrella, or go hands-free by wearing a cute rain hat. Most of the time I don’t mind a little rain, but it does bother me when my bags get wet. I may own more coverings for my bags than actual raincoats for myself!

Rainy Day Office Look

Before moving to Dallas, I lived in Seattle.  It doesn’t storm there like it does in Texas, but the weather tends to be gloomy with light rain. So for rainy work days, I always have a plan for walking from the parking lot to the office. My go-to rainy day office shoe and bag material is patent leather. I also prefer a stylish PVC transparent umbrella.  Although it is not absolutely waterproof, if dried off, there won’t be any permanent water damage.

Transparent Raincoat

If you are a fashion lover like me, you know that no matter what the weather looks like, you are bound to look good. One of my favorite stylish yet functional rainy day pieces is a see-through raincoat. If you are looking to get a raincoat, I definitely recommend getting a see-through one.

Windbreaker

A lightweight water-resistant windbreaker is great to keep in your bag or car just in case the weather changes. (You might also want to stash short rubber boots during rainy season!

Rain coats and rain boots are the most practical rainy day closet essentials. When it comes to rainproof fashion brands, the first brand that comes to mind is Burberry.

Burberry is known for their special rainproof material. In the past two seasons I’ve noticed that Burberry’s designs have been rejuvenated.

Hoodie

During the rainy season, I most often find myself wearing a hoodie with a pair of tall rain boots. To keep my outfit super simple, I usually only wear one or two colors. For days when I’m running errands, I usually don’t use an umbrella or raincoat— it’s easier to simply cover up with the hood from my hoodie!  As for my bag and shoes, I always make sure to wear waterproof ones.

Trench Coat & PVC Boots



This last outfit is a classic rainy day trench coat paired with a black umbrella.

Of course, as a fashionista, I have to add my own special touch to really complete the look. For this, my special fashion element is a pair of tall PVC boots. The leather trim line design of the boots makes this look more fun and stylish.
