I’m starting to come around to the idea of a short + a longer/dressier. </p> <p>Cardiff Girl, I certainly experienced that “dreaded soggy bottom” after our walk! </p> <p>Suz, I’ll have to sit on the lilac one, but the plaid one is long enough to cover the back of the seat. </p> <p>Thanks, CarolS</p> <p>N &amp; Brooklyn, those are my faves too. </p> <p>Sally, when we lived in Florida, I could run between raindrops like you do, but in Berlin, the chilly drizzle/rain can last weeks at a time.</p> <p>Cat2, yes, “ something non-gear looking to wear with them and pants to work” is the point. Do you the yellow can fill that bill?</p> <p>MaryBeth, I’m not sure why I love that dark purple one so much, but you’re right that it’s not the most useful here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/raincoats/page/2#post-2228996 Sun, 03 Oct 2021 12:58:13 +0000 ophelia 2228996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the double-breasted from the Rack &amp; the blue Rei coat. One dressy &amp; one sporty, &amp; I don’t think you need a dressy one from what I recall. I’m not crazy about the color, collar &amp; sleeve length of the mustard coat but realize I’m in the minority here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/raincoats/page/2#post-2228902 Sun, 03 Oct 2021 00:42:12 +0000 Suz 2228902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It would be really hard to choose between these because they serve different purposes. I love the mustard plaid but I also like the longer single breasted coat for the reasons Cardiff girl mentions. If you are walking, a longer coat makes a lot of sense. If biking, the shorter one is great.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/raincoats/page/2#post-2228852 Sat, 02 Oct 2021 18:17:29 +0000 Cardiff girl 2228852@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have not read everyone’s comments so forgive me if l am repeating what has already been said.l love the mustard one but really a good raincoat is a long raincoat or else the rain just drips off the bottom and wets your bottom!So for this reason the single breasted white one gets my vote.I think that it looks very sixties elegant on you and it s longer so avoids the dreaded soggy bottom.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/raincoats/page/2#post-2228841 Sat, 02 Oct 2021 17:10:28 +0000 CarolS 2228841@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Late to this, but I have to say I LOVE the mustard one, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/raincoats/page/2#post-2228798 Sat, 02 Oct 2021 11:44:04 +0000 Brooklyn 2228798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mustard plaid is my favourite by a mile.</p> <p>Second is the Laundry/Shelli Segal coat. A bit more neutral and longer, so possibly more versatile. (But not as much character as the plaid.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/raincoats/page/2#post-2228759 Fri, 01 Oct 2021 23:42:27 +0000 Sally 2228759@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>sorry.....lol.&nbsp; I suppose you need to think about length if you need a long one or if a shorter would be better for biking etc.&nbsp; I don't actually own a raincoat even though I live in a rainy place.&nbsp; I do have a short shower jacket but otherwise I just run between buildings or use an umbrella.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/raincoats/page/2#post-2228757 Fri, 01 Oct 2021 22:47:01 +0000 N 2228757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mustard one is my favourite too but I do also like the flared one with the piping. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/raincoats#post-2228720 Fri, 01 Oct 2021 19:30:03 +0000 Sal 2228720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes agree with Angie - I have a running/ biking jacket - and my olive raincoat. I also have a school warm jacket that is lined and an older one that I suspect I should retire. Whilst I do think less is more rain jackets maybe are an exception. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/raincoats#post-2228714 Fri, 01 Oct 2021 18:59:13 +0000 cat2 2228714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The yellow one looks great, but the flared light blue will work with your skirts and dresses, and I think the original plan was to find something non-gear looking to wear with them and pants to work? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/raincoats#post-2228710 Fri, 01 Oct 2021 18:37:27 +0000 Synne 2228710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First of all: wooow serious hair envy! What beautiful tresses! I agree the mustard one is the winner here, interestingly enough, since I know you are a "summer" and in theory suit that palette best. Of the two coats, I like the single-breasted best. But I have a poison eye for double breasted... too formal, masculine, strict for me.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/raincoats#post-2228695 Fri, 01 Oct 2021 18:03:55 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 2228695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think these all look great on you, but I'm immediately eliminating Option #1, because it isn't as long, and the point is to stay dry!&nbsp; &nbsp;</p> <p>As I recall, you ride your bike quite a bit.&nbsp; So my second consideration would be "can I ride my bike easily in this?"</p> <p>From there, I'd consider what sparks the most joy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/raincoats#post-2228692 Fri, 01 Oct 2021 17:57:20 +0000 Angie 2228692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not meant to confuse you more, but in the spirit of brain storming, <b>La Ped</b> makes a good point. I have THREE rain coats, which serve different purposes.</p> <p>The orange is for light showers in warmer weather. The other two are for heavier cold rain, and the bone layers very well over jackets (and when I need to be a bit dressier). The yellow layers well over my thermaball puffer.</p> <p>But then I am on foot almost exclusively - with doggies in tow - and live in a wet place. Your city walking lifestyle is not that different to mine!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/raincoats#post-2228654 Fri, 01 Oct 2021 15:14:05 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2228654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LaPed, when I reread that, I realized “shower” could be the plumbing—but I’d have to keep tags safe. </p> <p>Minaminu, I was lucky in the timing of that walk in the park! </p> <p>Lyn67, 23 is the same as 12-17, with the piping and the flounce. </p> <p>Kkards, seeing as my shorts were also drenched, considering length makes sense. </p> <p>JamC, that yellow one did make me smile—but so did the one with piping. </p> <p>Sally, those are the two I’m torn between! </p> <p>Bijou, *grin*</p> <p>Lozz_oz, I don’t wear much orange or yellow at all, but I think the mustard could be a good complementary color for all my berries. </p> <p>I’ve got to go get ready for our next whistle stop, but I appreciate all your comments—I’m still very torn and undecided! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/raincoats#post-2228631 Fri, 01 Oct 2021 13:35:03 +0000 Minaminu 2228631@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If a raincoat that doesn't keep you dry then it's time to replace it!&nbsp;</p> <p>I like the third raincoat, fits you well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/raincoats#post-2228628 Fri, 01 Oct 2021 13:32:40 +0000 LaPed 2228628@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Its hard to have just one rain coat. I’ve found it’s really nice to have one townie option (longer, versatile neutral color, cottony hand, not necessarily packable) and one technical option (as light and breathable as possible, packable, shorter length for running and hiking, colour not so important but I err on the side of higher-vis). </p> <p>My first inclination was to vote light blue trench (most classic) *and* dark blue jacket if you can get it one size up (most practical — and better with shorts and shorter sportier dresses). But.. the yellow plaid seems like it could maybe split the difference and do both, and it’s fun! </p> <p>And you can test the waterproofness in the actual shower, just sayin’ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/raincoats#post-2228614 Fri, 01 Oct 2021 12:40:59 +0000 lyn67 2228614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the mustard one for one but find it too short for an all purpose thing. Then, my love goes for the two white ones (12&amp;18)&nbsp; or is the nr 18 the light blue everybody praises-so I agree- if it's really waterproof is a score! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/raincoats#post-2228611 Fri, 01 Oct 2021 11:38:49 +0000 kkards 2228611@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, for me after being waterproof, raincoats need provide coverage..so I’m voting for #12…longer length and a hood that seems to work, multiple ways to close coat </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/raincoats#post-2228603 Fri, 01 Oct 2021 11:13:14 +0000 JamC 2228603@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Of the ones you show, I would go with the mustard one. The style seems most like you! It looks like it fits the best and covers you hips. The blue one is too small and short, not good for a raincoat but okay for a wind breaker on a cool day. The others seem too formal. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/raincoats#post-2228584 Fri, 01 Oct 2021 08:15:50 +0000 Sally 2228584@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the light blue one, but I do see what they mean about the mustard one.&nbsp; Its a pretty colour.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/raincoats#post-2228581 Fri, 01 Oct 2021 07:54:49 +0000 Bijou 2228581@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mustard yellow is the BOMB! A beautiful colour on you and useful to be visible to traffic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/raincoats#post-2228577 Fri, 01 Oct 2021 07:18:16 +0000 lozz_oz 2228577@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the light blue raincoat as it is longer and will keep more of you dry.! Also is it more likely to work with the other colours in your wardrobe palette? The mustard is fun, although I can’t recall you wearing any colours like it before..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/raincoats#post-2228560 Fri, 01 Oct 2021 03:35:51 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2228560@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, two clear favorites, which are also my favorite two. I also like the dark one, but it was only available a size down. The double breasted one might be a bit too traditional for me.<br /> The last few pictures are all with a sweatshirt (that is almost exactly the same color as the top I wore under it).</p> <p>I’m starting to wonder about the Laundry one though. I like the flirtiiness of the flared bottom, but am wondering about what the length works with. Is that length ok with long pants, or with midi skirts/dresses? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/raincoats#post-2228541 Fri, 01 Oct 2021 00:43:18 +0000 Anonymous 2228541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also voting mustard, unusual color, great fit and the style is the most versatile, longer than a sport version but still easy to keep wearing as a jacket when it stops raining.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/raincoats#post-2228540 Fri, 01 Oct 2021 00:25:56 +0000 Tanya 2228540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for the light blue! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/raincoats#post-2228539 Fri, 01 Oct 2021 00:21:49 +0000 Sal 2228539@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the mustard too.&nbsp; I think it really suits you.&nbsp; And it would be nice and visible on a grey day on a bike.</p> <p>&nbsp;I like them all but my least favourite is the single breasted light blue/grey (not as keen on the flared hem).</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/raincoats#post-2228535 Fri, 01 Oct 2021 00:07:05 +0000 Anonymous 2228535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the light blue! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/raincoats#post-2228527 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 23:49:52 +0000 Anonymous 2228527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the mustard yellow </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/raincoats#post-2228518 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 23:15:26 +0000 Kaelyn 2228518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mustard coat gets my vote!
