We live in the desert but I've had my share of run-in's with rain. Growing up in Toronto, one of the worst weather issues is when it is 'freezing cold' but just above freezing, so when it rains it sticks in slushy clumps.
I never understood umbrellas- after going through the effort of holding it- I always end up wet anyway.
When I saw this article about the Umbrella Coat I thought it is genius-
The hood of this jacket, designed by Greek designer Athanasia Leivaditou, converts into a clever 'hands free' umbrella. There are pull strings, similar to a sweatshirt hood, that prevent the hood from popping inside out- another hazard of umbrellas.
The innovation does not stop there- in case of a monsoon or major down pour- your rain coat can convert into a full length jumper!
Amazing!
Would you wear this?
Do you like rain?
maybe yes, so cool, haha
ReplyDeleteI never dress with that! hahahhah
ReplyDeleteWell, that is fascinating! I think I might wear that... And I do like the rain, especially listening to it at night.
ReplyDeletei need this! i can never manage an umbrella, a stroller with a toddler and a bag!
ReplyDeleteI like the umbrella hat, and I wouldn't mind wearing it....the body suit is something else, kinda looks like a space suit.
ReplyDeleteI would DEFINITELY wear this. Mostly because it looks like a futuristic witch robe. :-D
ReplyDeletei would probably wear this because that way i can talk on the phone, hold my thermos and walk to campus without having to juggle an umbrella.
ReplyDeletethis is amazing.
Mmm, not to sure on this one! You have to love when it rains in Toronto in the winter. I am not looking forward to it
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't wear it, but it's a pretty awesome idea...
ReplyDeleteall I can say is "ha!". It would actually come in pretty handy in Portland. Although I would feel like a complete dweeb.
ReplyDeletei like rain... but no. i wouldn`t wear this...
ReplyDeleteexcept if i had too ; )
That is one funny outfit.... maybe in space?
ReplyDeleteInteresting, but looks like it would be difficult getting into and out of. I especially like rain when the sun is shinning.
ReplyDeleteClair
lol! what a design!
ReplyDeletebut i would never wear it! too much hassle to get it on! pardon the phrasing! :)
i would be so tempted to wear that when i'm riding my bike or walking to and from the train station!!!
ReplyDeleteClever yes.
ReplyDeleteWould I wear it?
No effing way.
It's pretty unique and you don't have to carry an umbrella- why not!?
ReplyDeleteSo interesting, but, no, I would never actually wear it. ;)
ReplyDeleteI grew up in Wisconsin, I remember the thunderstorms fondly. The dark thunder clouds, flashes of lightning. It was spectacular. I miss those storms. But, no, I would not wear that outfit. Ever.
