We have had a lot of rain here recently. A lot. A few weeks ago we received 30cm in one day, and we have been close to flooding several times, like some of our neighbouring towns. So today, as rain is on my mind, some rainy day images from the 1930s.
And what to wear on a rainy day?
Coats in rubberized silk crepe de chine or cotton tweed, or cotton gaberdine or whipcord- which were both supposed to be water repellent on their own. There's also sensible head-wear, umbrellas, and rubber overshoes (which are made of rubber and hollow in the heel so that you can slip your regular footwear inside) - such a good idea. At the moment I tend to wear platform wedge sandals, as its summer here, and they keep my feet above the puddles.
Oh, to look this stylish in the rain!
