Stay Dry, Dubai! Chic Waterproof Gear For Rainy Days

2 May 2024

Rain is not the most common thing in the UAE. However, recent experience proved that weather’s unpredictability has no regional border. Whether it is a sudden downpour or just a light sprinkle, being caught in the rain can be a surprising turn. But fear not! Embrace the unexpected with style and humour through our selection of vibrant waterproof clothing and accessories to keep you looking fabulous even when the skies decide to open up in the desert city.

Go transparent

Who needs a boring old umbrella or a bulky jacket when you can strut your style in a see-through raincoat, giving everyone around a sneak peek into the outfit underneath?

Secure your handbag

We all love designer handbags, but no one loves a soggy Birkin. Sure, Hermes bag covers are a smart solution to protect your purse...

Fortunately, flip-flops and rainboots are not the only alternatives. Structured wedged heels or colourful slingback pumps? Just choose your fighter!
