‘Rain’ment: Top-to-Bottom Essentials of Rainy Day Wardrobe

Just because it’s raining doesn’t mean there’s an excuse to look scruffy. Check out our top-to-bottom essentials of rainy day wardrobe and step out in style, even on the greyest of days.

Hats

Chanel’s latest transparent PVC hats may set you back by HK$ 5,700, but they are all the rage right now! There’s no better time to flaunt these see-through beauties than during the rains. If transparency is not your thing, protect your head from the downpour with the bucket hat from the Versace Versus SS18 collection.

Raincoats

Make a bold fashion statement by sporting Celine’s parka coat in water-repellent calfskin, priced at HK$95,000. If you want to flaunt a see-through look, the PVC cape from Chanel’s SS18 collection – worth HK$17,500 – may just be the thing. Another must-have in your rainy day wardrobe could be the transparent jacket from Valentino’s SS18 collection.

Shoes

Protect your feet from the rainy water with ruched boots by Off-White x Jimmy Choo. We particularly heart the Elisabeth 100 boot by Off-White x Jimmy Choo. You can also leave your mark with Karl Lagerfeld’s designer-stamped rain boots. These come with a gun-metal studded-strap, neoprene lining and a gripped sole, and are priced at HK$3,567.

Bags

Nobody likes getting their beloved bags wet in the rains. It’s best to use rubber or plastic bags such as the top handle rubber tote by Gucci, worth HK$7,840, or the accordion shopper by 3.1 Phillip Lim, worth HK$7,490.
