Rainwear Central Rainwear Forum

Out walking the dog this morning and a woman appeared in front of me, pushing a pushchair with a baby and a toddler walking next to her. It was a very bright day, still very slightly cool, but clearly going to be a very hot day. And she was wearing tight PVC leggings. She was slow, and the dog was desperate to get by, but I hung back, very naughty of me, but that shiny bottom was just gorgeous. Later on I saw her in the play park with her kids, and by then it was fairly warm. I supposed she might have misjudged the weather, but why else might she decide that shiny leggings were appropriate for a trip to the park?

Pretty sure it’s just a style thing these days

I suppose it is the same thing that drives women to wear stilettos - nobody could ever say they are comfortable! Maybe the woman was on the lookout for a partner (she was alone) and therefore wanted to dress up in case Mr/Miss right was at the park? Most men will take confort first, although I prefer to be uncomfortable in plastic plastic rainwear, because there is a comfort in the hot/dampness for me.

Well, fashion is about style, especially when it's a feintly fetish style and, frankly, comfort of takes a back-seat in such matters! The look is everything.

I like the idea of ‘feintly fetish’ as that implies that someone gets the impact that their choice is having on onlookers, not just style but a little bit kinky.

That’s fashion for you! I am always puzzled during the winter when I see women wearing crop top puffer jackets. Wearing a winter jacket that covers halfway down to your stomach just doesn’t compute with me. Similarly, gals wearing rain boots on a rainy day but don’t have a raincoat or umbrella! Sometimes reality can be stranger than fiction.
