1. The Appeal of Functional Fashion

Rain skirts have seamlessly integrated practicality with style, offering protection against the elements while maintaining a sleek appearance. Much like the enduring trench coat, which has been a staple in fashion for its versatility and weather-resistant qualities, rain skirts provide a functional yet fashionable solution for unpredictable weather.
Vogue has highlighted the resurgence of functional fashion trends, noting that “the trench coat’s sleek minimalism and functional versatility contribute to its enduring appeal.” This emphasis on utility in design reflects a broader shift towards incorporating practical elements into everyday fashion.
