Women's Raincoats with Personality Hand-Picked for YouManufacturers are missing a huge potential market by offering a limited selection of plain brown wrappers. The trenchcoat has become almost the only style available. Double-breasted, belted, sometimes with epaulets and buckles on sleeves, lined or unlined, the trench raincoat never goes out of style and can go anywhere. It's a fashion classic -- but why does it have to be the only fashion? Fashion After 50 has been searching for women's raincoats for you with a touch or color or unique details. Stylish Woman's Raincoat Proves Its Worth Over TimeWardrobe guru Mary Lou Andre is enthusiastic about a woman's raincoat purchased at an art fair. It's proven a good value despite its hefty price.It's perfect for laying over other garments - such as sweaters and jackets - because it is unlined. Layer Shells, Ponchos, and Capes. If you find a beautiful raincoat you love without a zip-out lining, you will find other ways to keep warm underneath. I got a few extra years’ use out of a velvet evening coat past its prime by hiding it beneath a black faille rain cape. The velvet sleeves and hood added elegance, drama, and warmth. A rain cape or poncho may be another way to beat the rainy day fashion blahs. Think outside the box for ways to replace boring women's raincoats with something colorful or unique. Read Fabric Care Directions CarefullyRead Fabric Care Descriptions. When purchasing a raincoat, be sure to read the fabric descriptions carefully. Some are water-resistant, but not waterproof.Slickers with PVC or rubberized coatings may be waterproof, but sweaty and hot underneath. Some raincoats may not be dry-cleaned. Rain Jackets Are PopularThere are many women's rain jackets these days. In heavy downpours, it’s our legs that are drenched, not torsos protected by an umbrella.With the perfect umbrella and rainboots, even a plain brown wrapper trenchcoast can become fun or glamorous. Unique Umbrellas Add Fun and GlamorUmbrellas are some of today's brightest rain gear products.A few are shaped like gloriously colored flowers (see more here). for you. Other umbrellas reproduce famous art, such as Van Gogh’s Starry Night and Tiffany stained glass. We even found a unique umbrella with an LED lighted handle for a futuristic look.
