Its majesty THE TRENCH COAT

If you don’t own one you ought to.

Burberry

Burberry

It’s chic
It’s a classic
It looks right with any outfit
It will never go out of fashion
oh… it protects you from rain/wind/cold….
but this is secondary of course….

When you buy it, it must be all of the above, that means this is a piece of clothing you must allow for a reasonable amount of money. Quality is essential, both because cheap ones look awful and also because this coat will have to last you for years….
Now, while I think THE trench coat IS Burberry’s, I realise many of us can’t stretch that far. So, here are some which can be good enough to fall back onto:

The classic:


The shorter classic:


Something a little different:


Finally, the dark option….

I hate umbrellas. It’s easy to lose them, you have to hold them with one hand, therefore, you only have one left, which is obviously not enough, otherwise we wouldn’t have two! Also, where does one put it soaking wet once it has stopped raining and one does not need it anymore, wanting to use the hand the was previously busy holding it!!!!!!
They usually look awful and if they don’t you WILL lose them or they will be stolen.
Hence the HAT.
It’s much more practical, it can be fun, once you don’t need anymore you can fold it inside out and easily store in your handbag. Your hands are free to do lots of other things…..
Ok, if it is raining lots your hat will not be enough, but, do you really want to be out in pouring rain?! Better to stay home with a nice cup of tea.
Here is a selection of rain hats:
