VerSATILE BASICS

.. with a slight crinkle effect

Rains is an outerwear lifestyle brand. The brand blends a conceptualmeets-functional design approach a strong urban inspiration, and a signature fabric identity. This coated waterproof fabric palette is inspired by Rains first design – a contemporary reinterpretation of the classic rubber raincoat.

A raincoat I have owned several samples of over the years myself. I was first introduced to the brand in 2014. The then radio host of the popular radio program Monte Carlo on DR P3 Peter Falktoft together with his companion Esben Bjerre hosted this year’s “Kapsejlads” in Aarhus. Here, Peter was presented while riding a jet ski wearing a shiny brass colored raincoat from Rains. I had never seen anything like it and I was sold from that moment.

This look consists of two pieces from one of Rains’ latest collections called

The Garment Project This project is a collection of versatile basics to suit any Rains look. In this case, a vest and a pair of cargo pants. Both pieces are unisex designs.

The vest is designed to be worn under a coat or as a light outerwear on its own. The vest has inset shoulder panels, two zipped pockets and a snug hood with adjustable drawstrings at the neck.

The pants have a relaxed, wide fit and oversized cargo pockets with adjustable elastic drawstrings and two front pockets with zips. The design is completed with an elastic waistband and laces at the bottom of the legs. Both designs are made of lightweight nylon, with a slight shine and a discreet crinkle effect.
