IT’S RAINING MEN

Hallelujah. Just kidding, I wish it were such a party. Oh dear, that single life sometimes… To cry about. Okay, another joke. All is good, this kid is super happy. Especially when the sun is shining, but it loves to hide behind the rain clouds in the Netherlands. Seriously, what’s up with the weather always in the Netherlands? I think my most used emoji is the little umbrella. Do you get that from me? Then you know what time it is. I’m probably stuck somewhere stranded in the rain again. And that ‘Singin’ in the rain’ thing from Gene Kelly, I don’t do that. Unless I’m wearing my Rains jacket.

If I say that I once got a Rains jacket from my parents for my birthday, you probably think: lame. But in all seriousness, I think this is one of the best gifts I’ve ever received. Especially when you live in a country like the Netherlands where rain is a constant part of the country’s decor. And unlike my amigo Kiki who likes to use taxis, I do everything by bike. So rain or shine, you want to look hip, right? Then you’re in the right place with this Danish brand.

Rains makes rainwear fun to wear again. The jackets are stylish, super trendy, and also not bad: they are environmentally conscious and work with recycled materials. The new SS17 collection is inspired by Scandinavian weather conditions, which are easily comparable to those in the Netherlands. Fun fact you might not know: I lived in Copenhagen for four years, so my heart has a soft spot for everything related to Scandinavia. And secretly, I also find it the best compliment when someone asks me if I’m Scandinavian myself.

But back to those cool rain jackets. Brave the rain in style? You do that with Rains. What a glorious feeling, I’m happy again, la la la…
