My first thought was...... What dis big woman doing in a raincoat?
After a couple seconds I thought to myself; "Self ...but that lady is able to move from point A to B while you are standing under Republic Bank waiting for the rain to ease up."
This led me to think about why we stopped wearing raincoats. Was it because we've out grown them, or that they are too cumbersome, or that we live in a warm climate country. Perhaps it's because we have an umbrella culture, or that there aren't any adult size raincoats retailed in TnT. Or all the above.
This prompted me to do some research and let me tell you, I was pleasantly surprised to see that raincoats need not be designed to have you looking like a giant garbage bag.
Nope!!!!!
They can be fashionable, funky and trendy and are sold on websites and stores such as Asos, Macy's and Nordstrom.
Just look at some of these options:
We love to dress up for work but on a rainy day, sometimes a regular umbrella just isn't enough. Unless you are in possession of a large umbrella aka "house and land", you have to ensure that you, your handbag, lunch bag and shoes do not get wet. Most times one of those items just cannot be saved from those sprinkles.
Ladies, given the options presented would you wear a raincoat? Yeah or Nah?
