We all know how crazy the weather has been in the past few years. And without getting into any of the environmental talk, we need to talk about how to be prepared for the constant unpredictability. At the beginning of this summer we have seen some storms that keep coming out of nowhere, so in this article we’re gonna talk about how you can manage to stay dry while being fashionable and not overheat during all those weather changes. Read along and get ready to be stylish and dry.
Umbrella and knit
When dealing with summer storms, an umbrella is your first line of defense. Go for a compact, sturdy umbrella that can easily fit into your bag. And don’t get fooled by the sunny mornings, pack your umbrella every day. Pair this with a lightweight knit top. A fine-knit sweater or cardigan can be perfect for this. If you choose a merino wool knit, it will keep you warm against the sudden chill of a summer storm but is breathable enough not to overheat you when the sun comes back out. Look for knits in bright or pastel colors to keep your look summery. Pair with high waisted jeans or a flowy skirt to get a chic and classy outfit perfect for a full day.
Bold rain jacket
A bold rain jacket is both a practical and stylish choice for unpredictable summer weather. Choose a rain jacket in a vibrant color or with a unique pattern to make a fashion statement and add a bit of personality to your look. Lightweight and waterproof materials are key to keeping dry without feeling weighed down. Many modern rain jackets come with breathable linings that prevent overheating so try going for those, as they will make you feel comfortable throughout the whole day. Pair your bold rain jacket with simple, neutral pieces underneath, like a white tee and black leggings or jeans. This way, the jacket stays the main point of your outfit, keeping you both dry and fashionable.
Boots and shorts
Combining boots and shorts is a practical and trendy way to handle summer storms. Waterproof ankle boots or stylish rain boots can protect your feet from puddles and wet conditions. Pair these with high-waisted shorts to keep your legs cool and dry quickly if they get wet. Denim shorts are a versatile option, but you can also go for athletic or tailored shorts depending on your style preference. Add a breathable top, such as a loose blouse or tank top, to stay comfortable in fluctuating temperatures. Finish off the look with a lightweight, waterproof jacket or a stylish poncho that you can easily pack away when the rain stops.
