In the rain and sleet: 15 things for walking
Dasha Prince
Every day the light becomes less mood is worse, and on the street - colder. It is not surprising that many people prefer to spend evenings and weekends with a blanket and the new season of “Very strange things”, getting to the office on weekdays in short rushes. For those who agree with the conventional expression “No bad weather - bad clothes”, we chose jackets, boots and fleece jackets that will withstand many hours of walking in the rain, sleet and sleet.
Lining
The underlays and vests are an extra layer under the outerwear, so necessary for everyone who is freezing even in warm parks. At the peak of interest in street clothes, he turned into a full-fledged piece of clothing, so you can wear it yourself when the temperature is above zero. The most popular material for liners this fall is fleece: thanks to an interesting texture, it is easily combined with vinyl, silk, and denim.
Fluffy jackets and jackets can be found in the mass market, and in luxury giants. Such things will not protect from rain, so we advise you to wear them with a waterproof jacket or raincoat. One of the most successful options in terms of price and quality - from Uniqlo; This year the brand has released sweatshirts on the lock (both in the regular and in the Christophe Lemaire U line) and vests, which can replace their ultra-light down jackets.
Thermal underwear
We advise you not to overdo it with thermal underwear right now: it is as unpleasant to overheat in several layers of things as it is to freeze in a thin coat. But the weather outside the window is absolutely unpredictable, so it’s better to look at thermal underwear right now. In addition, some models Falke, Uniqlo or Wolford are designed to be worn not only as an additional warming layer, but just like that. Thermal underwear can be worn as home clothes, if you are not comfortable with heating
Waterproof shoes
In rainy and slushy weather there is nothing more important than waterproof shoes. The times when there was nothing on the market but Hunter boots are over. Now shoes that are not afraid of puddles are made not only from rubber, but also from high-tech materials or leather with special impregnation. Such shoes today completely mimic the most ordinary - like "army" shoes or loafers. Pay attention to the material: we would not advise to hold in rubber deaf shoes for more than two hours in the room, but in the omnipresent Blundstone, which the heroines of our “Wardrobe” column wear in winter and summer, it is possible.
Cap
Surprisingly, the stereotype that the cap fits only sportswear still lives today. We refute: a cap is a great addition to a sheepskin coat, complete with a bright dress, and a bomber jacket - with a leather skirt. In addition, a cap made of waterproof fabric will save from wet snow. It's better not to search for this in the mass market, but for well-known outdoor brands like The North Face or Aquascutum. A great option for those who are still hot in beret or bini.
Jacket with hood
Street and outdoor brands are now at the peak of popularity, so all luxury homes dream of getting a part of their audience with the help of collaborations. Hence the insane amount of joint collections that are announced each season, The North Face alone has three of them now. Of those that are worth remembering: the collaboration of Martine Rose and Napapijri, Junya Watanabe and Carhartt, The North Face and Hyke, Comme des Garçons and Sacai. A jacket from such a collection can cost as much as a Gucci fur coat.
If you are not ready to invest in a raincoat, pay attention to the usual collections of specialized brands. Most often, they are made of special high-tech materials: despite their relative "lightness", they are comfortable at both zero and minus ten degrees.
