3. Climate Change and Weather Preparedness

The increasing unpredictability of weather patterns due to climate change has heightened the relevance of rain skirts in contemporary fashion. As traditional seasonal distinctions blur, consumers seek versatile clothing that adapts to fluctuating conditions.
The Guardian has highlighted how the fashion industry is adjusting to these demands, noting that “the fashion seasons and the weather seasons are equally off-kilter,” leading to a rise in “season-less clothes” designed for all climates. This shift reflects a broader trend where brands are prioritizing adaptability and functionality to meet the challenges posed by a changing climate. (theguardian.com)
