Rainy Day? Got You Covered and Chic

Greetings Gentle Readers, Today's a bit rainy where we are so we thought, what better day to do to a posting on how to be stylish in inclement weather. Usually we save information on outerwear for later on in the year, but we'll make an exception today... A trench-style raincoat is a perfect way to stay fly AND dry... If you don't have a trench in your closet we suggest you get one ASAP, budget conscious retailers such as H&M often have a nice selection of styles at reasonable price points for both men and women. The trick to finding a good trench is to buy it in your regular size. You don't have to go up a size b/c when designers cut outerwear they're fully aware that you're usually ;-) fully clothed underneath it. Gents should stick to neutrals such as navy, black and tan, as they'll go with everything in your wardrobe, and never go out of style. Ladies can play a bit more with pattern and color, a red, peach, or purple trench gives you just as many miles as the blacks, navies, and tans since all 3 are neutral as well. When looking into pattern, florals, animal print or polka dots are timeless options for you as well.
Fit wise, your trench should fit over your clothes comfortably, and you should have full range of motion, if you don't, feel free to go up a size, but you shouldn't have to. In terms of length, 3/4 or knee length (or just above) are your best options. The ones we've posted here are 3/4 length and knee length, so you see one falls to just about mid thigh and the other to just about the knee.

We hope you've found this posting useful and that on rainy days to come you stay fly AND dry!!!

Stylishly Yours,
