If you look around the tea shops of London, you will notice one thing. Although it is likely raining out, there are dozens of well-dressed men inside who are dry as tea-biscuits. Here are some rules for staying stylish in the wet spring weather.
Rule #1: Get an umbrella.
But it has to be the right one, because the right umbrella will look stunning in your hand. I know it’s inconvenient. But so is rain. So keep one at work, and one by the door of your apartment. Perhaps a third umbrella belongs in the car.
Please, in the name of dignity, avoid the collapsible type — you’re not Inspector Gadget. Your umbrella should also be tall enough to reach your waist. That way it will be long enough to cover your head from a comfortable, rested position (reference Davinci’s “Vitruvian Man” for a diagram of armspan/leg hypotenuse).
