4. Nostalgic and Retro Influences

Designers are drawing inspiration from vintage rainwear aesthetics of the 1960s and 1980s to create modernized rain skirts. This fusion of past and present results in garments that are both functional and stylish. For example, the 1960s-inspired floral-print dresses and skorts showcased by Michael Kors in 2017 highlight the era’s influence on contemporary fashion. (elle.com)
