Hilarious!&nbsp;</p> <p>It really is a weird 80s kind of thing and yet I do kind of love it. And yes, the soul-sucking beige, which I prefer to consider "stone," or maybe oyster, seems to be a not-bad neutral on me!&nbsp;</p> <p>The light colour makes it for me. I really wouldn't have liked it (for myself) in black, but they do have it in black as well as some other really nice colours and they seem to do it in different colours in different years.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm frankly astonished that it kept me dry, because often these coats promise more than they deliver.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-favourite-thing-lole-packable-raincoat#post-2361257 Fri, 24 May 2024 22:29:20 +0000 LJP 2361257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm really tempted by this coat. I have NEVER worn my one black rain coat as much as I have this year, and I'm already sick of it. A light colour like this might be a less somber option for this constant rain we are having. &nbsp;Lovely photos &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-favourite-thing-lole-packable-raincoat#post-2361241 Fri, 24 May 2024 21:15:13 +0000 Sal 2361241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This really was the perfect addition<br /> - serendipity. Much easier and better than the trench coats. I think the colour is such a good neutral too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-favourite-thing-lole-packable-raincoat#post-2361215 Fri, 24 May 2024 19:17:20 +0000 Cardiff girl 2361215@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes a raincoat is an essential item for the British “summer”.I hope that you are having a fab time despite the capricious weather we are having this year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-favourite-thing-lole-packable-raincoat#post-2361197 Fri, 24 May 2024 16:37:30 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 2361197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That coat is so perfect! &nbsp;The color and fit suit you well, and I gotta say, having a rain resistant coat is a kind of magic in and of itself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-favourite-thing-lole-packable-raincoat#post-2361181 Fri, 24 May 2024 15:33:50 +0000 Mirjana 2361181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look stunning even in rainy day.

You are selling that coat to me. I bought a simple Totes one a few years ago, and it didn't really quite do it in terms of water protection.</p> <p>Did you ever see this meme about clothing in the 80s?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-favourite-thing-lole-packable-raincoat#post-2361149 Fri, 24 May 2024 14:10:48 +0000 catherine 2361149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So happy to hear that your coat and travel wardrobe are working.

Soooo glad it's working out - and is doing its job! You are extra adorable in that red scarf and rain hat. Fun pics!&nbsp;</p> <p>Can we please BLESS THAT HOOD!! And the '80s fabness of the new topper :)&nbsp;</p> <p>And hilarious finding your coat twin abroad and right next to you!!!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-favourite-thing-lole-packable-raincoat#post-2361115 Fri, 24 May 2024 12:23:29 +0000 Janet 2361115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is a great purchase! It’s funny, the light packable rain jacket I bought in Switzerland and wore constantly in Paris hasn’t been worn a whole lot here at home, but when I need it, it’s just the thing in a way that totally justifies its existence in my closet! So glad you jumped on this coat, and your red complement is so cheerful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-favourite-thing-lole-packable-raincoat#post-2361110 Fri, 24 May 2024 12:05:43 +0000 RobinF 2361110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hah, that is too funny!

If you have broad shoulders or a large bust this might not be as much of an issue but for anyone with a relatively small frame it will be especially important.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-favourite-thing-lole-packable-raincoat#post-2361048 Fri, 24 May 2024 08:11:49 +0000 Star (Lise) 2361048@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking so stylish Suz!&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-favourite-thing-lole-packable-raincoat#post-2361029 Fri, 24 May 2024 03:27:42 +0000 Karie 2361029@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great coat!

Happy to hear that its been so useful for your trip and already a favourite. Great pic of the two of you in the same raincoats. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-favourite-thing-lole-packable-raincoat#post-2360982 Thu, 23 May 2024 21:00:30 +0000 Suz 2360982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi, all -- quick post and run since I'm still travelling, but I did want to cheer loudly for my Lole packable raincoat -- <b>best last-minute pre-travel purchase ever!&nbsp;</b></p> <p>The weather has been all over the map, from sun and heat to pouring driving rain and chilly winds. I've worn the raincoat on all but 2 days so far, and it has been a godsend. It has kept me thoroughly dry in some serious downpours (including a 2 hour rainy walk). It is light weight and wind protective. It is a bit like a paper bag and feels weirdly 80s in its oversized style&nbsp; -- but it will layer over just about anything, and the shape is so distinctive that it feels very intentional. The way it packs into its own pouch is brilliant. And, as <b>Angie</b> predicted, I have been <b>sooooo</b> grateful to have a hood!&nbsp;</p> <p>And funniest thing ever. Yesterday I was walking along Park Lane to get the tube at Marble Arch in, yes, a downpour --&nbsp; and lo...who did I run into but <b>another woman wearing the same coat!!</b>&nbsp;</p> <p>I walked up to her and said, "I love your coat."&nbsp;</p> <p>"Thank you," she said -- not catching on.&nbsp;</p> <p>"You have great taste," I said.&nbsp;</p> <p>Luckily, her friend figured it out and the three of us laughed and laughed.&nbsp;</p> <p>I took a quick selfie before she hopped on her bus. Don't you love her chic rain hat? I should have asked her where she got it.&nbsp;</p> <p>P.S. Wearing <b>almost </b>all the clothes. Will report on that, later.&nbsp; </p>
