The March sleet season brings with it an unpredictable weather cocktail: sudden showers between sunny spells, gusty winds and rapid temperature changes. To stay comfortable and prepared in the face of these changing weather conditions, and avoid ending the day with a cold, here are a few tips on how to dress:
1. Waterproof coat or jacket
First instinct: opt for an outer layer to protect you from the rain. A waterproof coat or water-resistant jacket will keep you dry during surprise showers. And when in doubt, slip your Fudoon hood into your bag - it'll save your look and your hair in the event of a downpour!
2. Layered clothing
The key to staying comfortable is to layer your clothes. As our mothers used to say, "dress like an onion". Start with a lightweight base layer in soft, breathable material and add extra layers as needed. A t-shirt or shirt under a sweater or light jacket makes it easy to adapt to changing temperatures. No need to get hot and sweaty.
3. Practical accessories
A compact umbrella, a rain cape or even a poncho can be essential accessories to protect you from showers. Think of a cap to protect your head from the sun, but also from the rain: paired with your hood Fudoon, they'll protect your head and face (and bonus: they'll make you look great).
4. Appropriate footwear
Waterproof or water-resistant footwear will keep your feet dry and avoid the inconvenience of puddles. Opt for comfortable, durable footwear that can withstand changing conditions. Ideas: Aigle rubber boots, Crocs clogs, Hunter colored boots...
5. Lightweight, quick-drying fabrics
Avoid heavy fabrics that take a long time to dry. Instead, opt for lightweight fabrics that dry quickly in the event of a sudden downpour. You don't want to smell like a wet dog in the office...
In conclusion, to face the March sleet with style and practicality, opt for versatile, water-resistant clothing that's easy to layer. By following these tips, you can ensure that you stay dry, comfortable and ready to brave the vagaries of the weather during this changeable time of year. We're not going to let the weather dictate our style, are we?
