It’s supposed to rain tomorrow? Great!
When you buy athletic wear, you immediately feel more athletic and look forward to the next chance to work out in your new outfit. The same goes for stylish accessories for rainy days.
Rain Style
Thomas Brigg’s exquisite umbrellas are available in London at Swaine. The elegance of a Brigg umbrella—which has been crafted by hand since 1836 and can be tried on and purchased at the famous London store—is unmatched.
In everyday life, however, you usually need both hands to carry bags and suitcases, or you might want to hold onto your loved ones when it’s raining. That’s why it’s worth investing in stylish rain gear that will make you look forward to rainy days.
Scandinavian Rain
The rainiest cities in the world are found in India. According to European statistics, the Norwegian city of Bergen regularly tops the list of Europe’s rainiest cities. On average, it rains in Bergen 13 days a month—which is almost every other day.
Interestingly, Belfast, Milan, and Augsburg follow. By the way, the key visual for our article was taken during a walk through Milan.
It’s no surprise that two Scandinavian companies are among our favorites when it comes to rain gear.
At Rains, the company name says it all. The company was founded in 2012 in Aarhus, Denmark. Rains produces everything you need for a rainy day—except umbrellas.

Instead, you’ll find elegant raincoats and rain jackets that aren’t baggy and vaguely reminiscent of trash bags, but rather rainwear that you’ll actually enjoy wearing. For cyclists, there are waterproof backpacks and rain pants that make it a pleasure to bike from your home office to the office.
However, if you’re reading the English version of GloriousMe while traveling in a desert country, we recommend the stylish travel bags from Rains, which work in any weather and look cool.
Rain Boots with a Glamorous Touch
Traditionalists among rubber boot enthusiasts swear by Aigle rubber boots, which are made of natural rubber. Compared to boots made from petroleum-based rubber, Aigle boots offer classic, beautiful rubber boots crafted from a natural material that feel more comfortable and don’t become brittle after just a short time.

The French company Aigle is proud to manufacture rubber boots in France, in Ingrandes-sur-Vienne (Nouvelle-Aquitaine region), and has been doing so since 1853, when the company’s founder, Hiram Hutchinson, obtained a patent for vulcanizing rubber for shoes and began manufacturing waterproof street shoes.
If you want to lift your spirits even more and love turning heads, then these fashionable rain boots from Acquo of Sweden are just the thing for rainy days. These shiny boots are available in an extra-tall style—in black, of course, but also in cherry red, aquamarine blue, or an irresistible walnut brown.

Over-the-knee boots go just as well with elegant dresses as they do with miniskirts and pants. They’re a chic accessory that you’re sure to reach for—and not just on rainy days.
The Next Step Toward Wearing a Hat in Everyday Life
Sun hats are becoming increasingly fashionable. They’re great for protecting the skin from the sun —and for creative hat designers like Fiona Bennett. In Central Europe, at least, however, these hats disappear into the basement or attic at the start of fall.
A stylish rain hat could be the next step toward incorporating more hats into everyday life. Queen Maxima, Princess of the Netherlands, is often seen wearing Berry Rutjes hats, which she styles in a way that’s both cool and elegant.
We love Berry Rutjes’ shop in The Hague. She carries a green rain hat made of waxed cotton that has all the makings of becoming an instant favorite.
And if you really want just one cap to keep your head dry, it could be one by Ukrainian fashion designer Ruslan Baginskiy, whose hats are made in Ukraine.
Feel the rain
If you have the luxury of not having to rush through the rain to your next appointment—so you can arrive there looking stylish and staying dry—but can instead consciously enjoy the rain, you should do so as often as possible.
Raindrops on your skin feel great. Rain is no reason to let your running shoes gather dust—quite the opposite. A warm shower never feels better than after a run.
