3. Bag

When choosing a bag with rain protection in mind, it's important not only that the bag itself is waterproof or water-repellent, but also that it can accommodate a wet folding umbrella. For backpacks, check for side pockets, and for briefcases, look for waterproof pockets.

While a raincoat is the go-to choice for a suit, a high-performance blouson is recommended for casual suits or business casual styles. A blouson made of waterproof and water-resistant fabric that can withstand light rain is a reliable companion on days when rain is expected. Of course, it's also perfect for your days off.

Recommended outfits for rainy days

Here are three rainy-day outfit ideas, ranging from business settings to casual weekend styles.

1. Business suit




This styling features a coat from Sealup, a world-renowned top brand of luxury rainwear and outerwear. The tricolor check coat is paired with an American traditional sharkskin grey suit specially ordered from Ernesto, and a navy regimental tie, creating a dressy, classic style that can be enjoyed even on rainy days.


2. Office casual



The theme for this summer business casual look is "Sophisticated Coordination for Adults." The key is to create a calm impression by coordinating the colors with navy and gray. The sporty and light image of MooRER 's short-length zipper blouson is paired with elegant slacks with crease lines for a mature look. Adding a knit polo shirt as an inner layer adds a calm atmosphere, making this a comfortable outfit even during humid seasons.



3. Holiday Style



The key item that makes you want to go out in style even on a rainy day is a GORE-TEX blouson from White Mountaineering . You can quickly deal with sudden rain by putting up the hood. I've paired it with my favorite T-shirt as an inner layer and wide tapered pants from the same brand. I've also added black sneakers to create a solid, polished look.
