So what can we wear on a rainy day?
What Fabrics Are Suitable for Rainy Day Wearing?
No matter how careful we are when we go out on a rainy day, water will inevitably splash onto our clothes. At this time, we need firstly to ensure that our skin will not get wet further, and at the same time, it would be a pity if this piece of could no longer be worn after being soaked by rain. So the fabrics that are suitable for rainy day wearing should have the characteristics such as:
🎈It can absorb water but it must prevent rain from penetrating through the fabric and getting your skin wet.
🎈It can absorb water but it should not get too heavy after being soaked in rain.
🎈It will not be deformed by water or rain.
🎈It is thick enough to keep you warm.
So to meet the demands above, we recommend the fabrics below to you.
🎈PU fabrics. In our previous blog, we have introduced the PU leather. Actually, PU is a kind of waterproof coating on the fabrics. Even if the fabrics with PU coating get wet by rain, only the surface gets wet, and the water does not penetrate the fabric. And that is perhaps why it will not get heavier after getting wet.
🎈Nylon. Nylon is also a fabric which is good at water proofing. And that is why nylon is commonly used to make umbrellas. When it rains, you can touch your umbrella and find that only the outside is wet, while the inner side is still dry. This is also because nylon material does not penetrate water. After falling on the umbrella, the water drops will roll down following the curvature of the umbrella rather than penetrating to the inner side of the umbrella. Therefore, we can also choose garments made of nylon.
🎈Polyester. It is also a very commonly seen synthetic fiber used to make clothes in our daily life. It possesses plenty of advantages. For example, it has good elasticity and strong wrinkle resistance but poor water absorption, which is exactly suitable for outfits on rainy days. The high-quality silk collection is one of our popular fabrics, and this season's latest silk dresses are a treat for your skin. This silk dress and blouse from GOELIA is made from 10-mm georgette silk, so you can barely feel its weight, but when the breeze sweeps by, the soft hemline will care for your skin.

Don’ts for Commuting Outfits on Rainy Days
After reading the previous section, now you may have some understandings about the fabrics that are suitable for rainy day wearing. In this section, we will focus on the specific scene of commuting. Since most of us need to commute every day, this is probably an attractive question. So what we can not do when commuting on rainy days?
Do not wear high heels for commuting on rainy days. That is probably our common sense. In the first place, the roads will become more slippery after the rain. And a pair of high heels will enhance the possibility of falling down to a large extent. In the second place, most high heels will expose your instep or toes outside. Since the weather tends to get cooler on rainy days, people tend to get cold after wearing a pair of high heels on a rainy day.
Do not wear crop tops or jackets. This principle is quite understandable. Even on sunny days, it is a little informal to attend relatively formal occasions in a crop top or a crop jacket. And on rainy days, you will feel colder in a crop top or jacket certainly. So on rainy days, it is better for us to choose longer tops and jackets.
Do not wear a bodysuit. This principle is also easy to understand. If your top and bottom are separate, then even if your top has gotten wet, your bottom can still keep dry. But if you wear a bodysuit, then even if your clothe is only wet in one spot, then it will get wet as a whole quickly.
Do not wear a woolen coat. Especially wool indicates “non-washable”. On the one hand, non-washable woolen coats will be easily damaged by the rain. On the other hand, wool coats become extremely heavy when wet from rain. Therefore, if you wear a wool coat on a rainy day, you will feel that the coat is getting heavier and heavier, and finally you can hardly bear its weight.
Do not wear a cotton outerwear. As we all know, cotton cloth absorbs water very well. So cotton clothes will get wet easily. And once the cotton outerwear gets wet, the rain will even penetrate into your inner clothes. It is acceptable to wear a cotton shirt or tank top as an inner wear on rainy days, but not as an outerwear.

Accessories You Can Wear on Rainy Days
In our other blogs, most of the time, the principle of choosing accessories is to be pretty. However, on a rainy day, the accessories you take also need to be practical. So our pursuit is to choose some accessories that are good-looking as well as useful.
There is no doubt that the most important accessory you need to take is an umbrella. Yes, an umbrella can also be considered an accessory. While the umbrella protects you from wind and rain, the pattern on the umbrella also reflects the owner's taste. The most classic style is the plaid pattern. You can also see various people taking their umbrellas with plaid patterns on the streets. But if you would like to stand out among people, you can take an umbrella with Van Gogh's oil painting pattern on it.
In the previous section we have mentioned that it is not a good choice to wear a pair of high heels on rainy days. But what shoes are suitable for rainy days? It should be said that a pair of slippers is the most suitable since it facilitates drainage. But if you are going to attend a formal occasion, then a pair of slippers is out of the place of course. Although a pair of rain boots is the safest choice, it is a little bit heavy itself. Actually, one of the best choices of shoes for formal occasions on rainy days is a pair of PU leather shoes. Even if the surface of the shoe is wet by rain, the inside of the shoe is dry. And a pair of leather shoes is also compatible for the formal occasions.
If you wear a hoodie or a hooded coat, then you can put on the hood to protect your head form coldness. But do not wear your own knit hat, beret, bucket hat or peaked cap. Because most of the hats mentioned above are made of cotton or wool. They all have good performance in water absorption. So no matter what kind of hat you wear, they will become heavier when it rains.
According to the principles we have mentioned above, you must be able to draw inferences by now. If you have a purse, whether it is a handbag or a backpack, it is a very good choice on rainy days. In addition, in recent years, bags with a plastic shell are also very popular. This type of bag is also very suitable for carrying on rainy days.Large prints can make you stand out in a crowd, and this season's collection features a black and white print in a classic colorway on silk for a lightweight, soft look.

How to Dress for Different Occasions on Rainy Days
Except from commuting, we still have many different demands of our outfits. We need to date, to attend ceremonies or business occasions, to go to a party and so on. We all dress differently on these occasions. So in this section, we are going to discuss about our outfits according to different occasions.
To attend relatively formal occasions, you can wear a longer leather trench coat, a shirt , and a pair of suit pants. Wearing a thin suit jacket on a rainy day in this season might be too cold. Although a tweed coat also makes you look rigorous and reliable, it is too heavy, especially when getting wet by the rain. So a long trench coat is also a good choice. A shirt as an inner wear is also compatible with the formal occasion.
If you are going to a party, you can wear more casually. A nylon outerwear, a hoodie and a pair of jeans are good choices for you. Nylon jacket prevents you from getting wet from the inside out. And a hoodie protects your head from the coldness.
If you are going to date with your boyfriend, you can choose a long tulle dress with a polyester trench coat. In addition, remember to wear a belt over your waist. This outfit improves your feminine charm to a large extent, and the polyester trench coat can keep your inner wears and skin dry all the time.
