Rainwear Central Rainwear Forum

There are so many threads on this and other forums about men wearing rainwear that is seemingly or really intended for women. Now I wonder, if this is a typical male problem only or not. Is there any rainwear, that a woman would rather not wear - for similar or other reasons? I have trouble finding any garment that could be in this category. If not rainwear, how about other men's clothes?

Well, I remember a friend of mine, who had trouble wearing men's jackets and coats, because with her cup size, they were either too narrow, or too baggy on her. This is not exactly what I mean here, but the only example I can come up with.

I know this is a generalisation,but women rarely like to wear clothing which deliberately makes them look unattractive.
Obviously "unattractive"means different things to different people,but I don't think many women would like to wear something like a one piece chemical suit,or waders.

I think, that some women know pretty well, that, to certain people, they are very attractive in hazard suits and waders... But I got your point. On the other hand, some "ugly" clothes (not necessarily the complete outfit) are a good way to underline the beauty of the wearer, and some women take advantage of that.

Absolutely-women can be extremely sensitive to what turns on their lover.Then there are those who deliberately try to make themselves unattractive for whatever reason.Occasionally this can have the opposite effect to that which is desired!

Yes my girlfriend doesn't like the look of most rainwear we have, because in her eyes (and probably most other people's) it doesn't look attractive. However, I think she does like the look of the newer type raincoats from H&M for example, and transparant pvc rainwear (or other pvc clothing) and some latex clothing.

Women love fashion and I think it's there instinct too look good and unfortunately for the most of us women don't see the majority of rainwear as good looking of fashion.
And as Elerias stated they do seem too like the coats from H&M and other rainwear in that style.

I was hoping for more authentic replies than for guesswork, but there is always hope

I have also heard from women who state that it's not so much a "fashion" thing as it is the fact that men's rainwear just doesn't fit right on women because of different body shapes, so they have to take like 2 sizes too big, which just looks & feels sloppy & uncomfortable.

I'd just like to add that it's not just women who want rainwear and pvc/plastic clothing to fit.

I cannot stand big baggy fisherman/sailor two piece sets or all in ones. Heavy dull coloured pvc rainwear does very little for me (or Jane).

We have always been into the sort or rainwear that is found in the high street from shops like, Top Shop, New Look, Primark, h&M and TK Maxx.

Why would most women want to wear heavy baggy rainwear overalls that make them look like a sack of potatoes, when they can wear something that hugs their sexy curves or clings to their breasts and makes them look and feel erotic.

Oh, but I love seeing women in ill fitting, baggy, men's raingear as well!
