April is an ideal month to invest in outerwear apparel with edge and elegance
Dressing for the elements in transitional months is never easy. Coats for the unsettled weather conditions of spring are often found lacking: they’re too light, too heavy, not waterproof or not warm enough. And while Irish designers are stellar players in knitwear and textiles, few of our best known names have made their mark with fashionable rainwear.
Irish designers are surely missing opportunities when you consider the number of Scandinavian brands with their welded or taped seams that cater for wet days and unpredictable weather. Home of the Year winner revealed: restored 1920s redbrick ‘full of style and bold design’ lands the big prizeIt’s time for rethinking and modernising sou’westers perhaps and the best, like the Norwegian Helly Hansen, are usually to be found in outdoor shops specialising in protective wear for hiking, sailing and skiing. The British brand Sweaty Betty, also recently opened in Dublin, offers waterproof parkas and jackets from €130. Rains also offers waterproof backpacks.
