What do you wear for a coat in warm rain?!

?!?!?!

I currently own a big winter coat... and a little leather jacket.

Neither are particularly helpful in this weather!

Coat me ladies

i loathe folding umbrellas. have got a small waterproof jacket to go in handbag and a mac with a hood if it's a bit colder. but it has taken me many many years to find these things. someone who made something light, unfrumpy and flattering would make a fortune.

White t-shirt. No bra.

massivebigpantsface · 23/07/2007 08:39

lol sweety!
i just take an umberella

oh, i got a great spring coat from New Look for £20. Its a 'swing' style, with a hood and semi-waterproof. great for showers but cool for the humid weather.

twas a good buy.

fishie · 23/07/2007 08:45

lmao @ the wet white t-shirt.

Umbrella a no-go unless I start slinging DS again (I am lethal with them at the best of times let alone whilst trying to steer a pushchair).

@ my lack of knowledge, but "swing" style?

one of those small waterproof jackets with a hood that folds down into a little bag.

Nothing you wear in the rain is ever going to look gorgeous is it?

swing macs

DirtyGertiefromnumber30 · 23/07/2007 09:21

swing style - where the coats flairs out slightly at the bottom.

quiveutmabonnebaguette · 23/07/2007 09:31

lou33 · 23/07/2007 09:32

quiveutmabonnebaguette · 23/07/2007 09:35

lou33 · 23/07/2007 09:37

lou33 · 23/07/2007 09:45

quiveutmabonnebaguette · 23/07/2007 09:47
