Rainwear day

Post by Gerlid »

First rainy day in weeks, have been hot and dry in Sweden.

Loved my morning walk with my dog, rainwear on ofcourse. First my thin nylon windbreaker and then my 2 layers nylon rainwear. So nice feeling with all that nylon on bare skin.

Met the 2 sisters living in 2:nd house from us and their little dog. One of them in quite shiny rainwear, the other in a soaked padded, nylon jacket. They were happy and nice as always and we have known each other since we were children. Many years ago, when we were teenagers, we did a lot of things together, many that we were not supposed to do. Smoking, drinking wine etc.
Now they were just happy for the rain and I really liked their outfits. Shiny from the rain😊
She who had her padded jacket on were soaked and regretted her outfit.

What do you chose for a rainy day like this? What outfit is you favorite?

We seem to be having a dry spell in the Southwest UK at the moment, but when we get some rain my favourite outfit is a long PVC mac, a cotton tee shirt and a pair of black PVC shorts.

I also love being out in the rain and when I go out my current favourite is a 3 quarter length nylon raincoat in charcoal black and then a long leather skirt, I can be out for hours at a time and do get really wet and my raincoat then looks all shiny from the rain.

On rainy days recently I've been wearing a clear 'Jelly' coat that I bought from the Army and Navy store many years ago. It's still going strong. I bought my first clear blue plastic 'bomber jacket' in the mid 70's from a boutique, it was quite expensive, then short plastic jackets became very commonplace and affordable. Nowadays they're hardly ever seen.

I like going out in the rain dressed in my lovely nylon waterproof all in one puddle suit. It's so nice to wear next to my skin too.
