how to fight spring showers: the story of raincoat

I lost my raincoat...

How can you lose such a big thing ? I understand that one can lose umbrella, more than once even, but raincoat ….?
As I had very nice one from Monki and they don’t have it anymore L I decided to find new one. I was sure it will be easy and fast because it is Amsterdam with 214 rainy days a year so “ bike +raincoat” are the basics to survive here ..and there the story begins ...

I was so disappointed. Nothing special. Everyting ugly, fisherman style or sporty … for sure not fashionable. And it must be not only fashionable but also practical. I want that all.

If you are lucky you can find something interesting in topshop, zara, h&m,monki  etc. but if not ...

... there are some nice choices worth considering

Adidas by Stella McCartney - simple, interesting design and fabric



 

DKNY - transparent - the biggest trend , nice details

 

 

Muji - simple, nice construction, shape and seams

 

 

Ania Kuczynska - polish designer with nice ideas and minimalistic design

 

 

and my favorite Wanda Nylon - all kinds of fashionable rainclothes from funny hats, gloves, skirts to beautiful raincoats. It has it all !!! Finally :-)
