Chic Coat: Rain Jacket


Chic Coat: Rain Jacket


As the raindrops fall and the wind bustles against the window outside I'm pondering a chic way to dress for the weather. Fall and winter collections are definitely my favorite due to the wide range of color, texture, fabric & layers.


Cold can be chic and rain can be ravishing! I've selected a few rain jackets that you could wear with any of your daily wardrobe selections.


Black is basic and timeless. But a metallic or jewel tone is a fashion statement that will turn your dreary rainy day into a delightful journey!


As with any coat a rain jacket should fit and compliment your body. Winter weather calls for extra clothing but don't get lost under the layers!


Metallic colors can be mixed among your existing wardrobe as well as jewel tones. Jewels and metallics look exceptional with earth tones, navy & of course black.


Break the rules with length. Long doesn't have to mean dress & short casual. Pair long with trousers or short with skirts or dresses. Keep cuts proportional...we want to see you!


Color selection depends on your style & flair. Personally, I tend to favor flair so I my rain jackets consist of a champagne metallic, gray, black & jewel tones of red, pink and blue.

Jackets are an accessory...an item to give your outfit a pop of color or a polishing finish. They are so inexpensive you could probably purchase a couple. But if you must only purchase one I would suggest a metallic gray or a jewel tone of red.


Either of these colors would blend & mix with every single color in your existing wardrobe. Gray before black because you could mix more easily with brown without worrying about the whole black brown concept! (Which we can clear up later).


Regardless of your choice...pick the one that suits you and makes you embrace that rainy day! Go ahead...jump in the puddle you know you want to!!


Ciao'
