The rain has started to make itself felt again and, even when you leave the house with an umbrella and closed shoes, there are items of clothing that continue to put everything into question. Often, we only realize the problem when it is too late and our clothes are soaked. Knowing how to choose what to wear well makes all the difference in arriving comfortable and dry. According to Notícias ao Minuto, some materials and pieces can transform a rainy day into a real battle against water.
Suede and delicacies
Suede shoes and coats are not a good option for rainy days. This material absorbs water quickly, becoming heavy and difficult to dry, as well as staining easily.
The same source explains that it is best to opt for treated smooth leather, rubber or wool, fabrics that resist humidity better without compromising comfort.
Light colors, no way
White or light-colored clothes can reveal more than expected when wet and are still subject to stains that are difficult to remove.
As Notícias ao Minuto says, darker colors or waterproof fabrics help keep clothes presentable even on the rainiest of days.
Compromised comfort
Delicate fabrics such as silk, satin or cashmere are easily deformed by water. Tight clothing becomes uncomfortable and limits mobility.
Looser pieces allow movement and ventilation, helping you circulate better and reducing the risk of slipping on wet floors, according to the same source.
Safe footwear is essential
Open-toed shoes leave feet wet and cold, increasing the risk of falls. Notícias ao Minuto recommends choosing closed shoes with non-slip soles, which keep your feet dry and provide greater safety when walking.
The right umbrella makes all the difference
Small and fragile, umbrellas cannot withstand wind and heavy rain. According to the same source, the ideal is to invest in a large and resistant model, capable of protecting not only the head, but also part of the torso, preventing clothes from getting soaked.
Dry to last
After a rainy day, it’s natural for your shoes to come home wet. Notícias ao Minuto recommends placing them in a ventilated area, removing insoles and laces to allow air to circulate.
Another effective technique is to fill the interior with crumpled newspaper sheets, which absorb moisture and maintain their shape. If the newspaper becomes wet, it should be replaced to speed up drying. These simple precautions help prevent odors and extend the useful life of your shoes, concludes the same source.
