How do you protect yourself from the rain?

It is a common dilemma. Especially for those inhabiting those Great British Isles – what is one to do when it rains, as it so definitely will? Inhabit almost any outdoor space between high summer and winter frost, OK all year round really, and chances are you will collide with a little precipitation at some point. But the issue remains, what steps do you incorporate into your daily wardrobe routine? Are you a chancer, living life one second at a time and getting wet if needs be? Or do you plan conscientiously for any sartorial disruption that may occur, and sling an umbrella over the crook of your arm or in your bag accordingly? Or lastly, do you commit fully to the season in which you find yourself and ensconce yourself in the waterproof armour of a raincoat or mac?

This week our Editor at Large, Gianluca Longo, asked Motilo Girls Poppy Delevingne, Anna Dello Russo, Sophia Hesketh and Sara Brajovic:

With rainy days ahead, do you opt for:

a) an umbrella

b) a raincoat/mac

c) the “don’t care” wet hair look

Here’s what they said…

So there we have it, the damp decisions of our delightful Motilo Girls. What about you? Are there any failsafe wet-weather rules that you live by? Why not get in touch with us on twitter @motilo and let us and @MrsMotilo know.
