With the right wet-weather accessories, a rainy day doesn’t have to be gloomy.
Dayton, Tenn., resident Deb Hunter, owner of 8:19PM Promotions/Management, said her favorite raincoat is a traditional black, European-style Poleci trench with a detachable hood, but she usually grabs the coat that best suits her mood.
“When I want to brighten things up during the rain, I’ll go for either my red or yellow trench coat,” she said. “They are short, cute and great fun on a dreary day.”
Children have it even better, said Jeanne Trewhitt, owner of A Child’s Garden Boutique on Frazier Avenue.
For 12 years, the most important trend in children’s rainwear are coats that make the children look like firefighters, pirates, fairies and ladybugs, Trewhitt said.
