Fashion dilemma of the week

How do I ensure that my outfit is not too warm, but still rainproof?

Playsuits and summer dresses remain in the closet. No matter how beautiful the first days of May were, this month is actually quite disappointing. The temperatures remain moderate and the sun has unfortunately often been absent so far. Anyway, there's not much to be done about the weather. But you can certainly do something about your outfit. Because now that there are quite a few rain showers and dark clouds on the weather menu for next week, this doesn't mean we have to pull our autumn outfits out of the closet again. Opt for a cool ’warm’ spring look from the spring/summer collections of your favorite stores and brands. They are super suitable for this moderate weather.

And to come back to that rain, I'm not going to push a rain suit on you. You won't stay completely dry here, but at least you'll be rainproof. At least, we can look nice and take it into account. Because if you do end up in a downpour, it's nice to wear synthetic fabrics. They absorb moisture the fastest and therefore dry the quickest. Are you not a fan of synthetic fabrics? You can also go for leather. Just make sure to spray it well with a protective leather spray first.

Choose a leather skirt at midi length, it's both warm and won't get soaked. Leather is water-repellent. And that makes this skirt, in my opinion, rainproof. Combine it with an oversized T-shirt and wear a jacket over it. If it gets a bit too warm, you can either throw it over your shoulder or take it off completely. And to go back to that rain shower; wear a cap. It not only works perfectly against an bad hair day. unexpected downpour, but it also looks super cool.

Now that you have to leave that playsuit hanging for a while, you can of course go for the jumpsuit. It keeps you warm during moderate temperatures, but is also wonderfully airy. I say: a super nice combo with this weather. And if that rain cloud finds you again, with this umbrella you'll definitely make a statement. You'll almost look forward to the rain.
