The Index: Rain Gear

My go-to items for rainy days.

Is it just me, or do you all feel like it has been raining a lot lately? Maybe it just feels that way every year in the middle of spring..?

Maybe I notice it more now that I have a dog and we still need to go for a walk rain or shine. Anyway, my rain gear has been working overtime so I thought I would share my tried and true favorite products for grey, rainy days.

1. Mosebacke Raincoat from Stutterheim - $325 

   1. To me, this is the rain coats of all rain coats! It is heavy duty, warm and very waterproof with a A-line silhouette. The inside is a warm cotton (that almost feels like fleece) making it very cozy — however, it is worth noting that I do find my Stutterheim raincoat too heavy and not breathable enough for a warm day. In the summer or warmer months, I typically opt for my LLBean raincoat (more details below.)

   2. **Note, this jacket runs big so I would consider sizing down.

2. Travel Umbrella via Amazon - $26.99 

   1. I swear by this umbrella, I think I own it in three different colors. I use it all the time in New York City and have even brought it with me while traveling to other cities. It is small enough to fit in your tote bag but not too small that it is flimsy. It also is just well made, it is not the type of cheap umbrella that is going to break the third time you use it.
