Choosing the perfect RainSisters coat is a tricky business, isn’t it? There is such a dizzying selection of different styles, colours, and patterns to choose from that it makes your head spin. You may even want one for daytime and another for nights out in the town. So just how do you go about finding that special coat (or coats) that meet all your criteria and expectations, as well as offering value for money? Let us help you decide with the following tips and advice.
How to choose the best coat for you?
There are a few important factors to bear in mind when making your decision:
- What is my own personal signature style?
- What colours/patterns/embellishments do I think are tasteful?
- What do I require, feeling both comfortable and confident?
- When/Where am I likely to wear this coat?
Over the 5 years that RainSisters have been operating, we have learned a great deal of valuable insights into the wishes, desires, concerns and common questions from our customers. Here are the most common ones.
For tall women or those looking for a longer coat
Our longer designs include Timeless Polka Dots, Blue Breeze, Spring Bloom, Black Classic, Desirable Bow, and Cotton Candy. These coats are slightly longer than our other coats and will fall below the knee for taller women and will give that midi look for those simply looking for a longer coat. You can also add a matching belt that allows for you to move it up or down according to your natural waistline.
Generally, our trapeze cut coats and double-breasted style coats are longer than the classic single-breasted fit and flare coats.
For petite women or those looking for a shorter coat
If you are looking for a shorter coat, you can go with the petite sizes or choose the coat style that is knee-length. And there's quite a few to choose from.
You can take a look to styles with voluminous skirt part (Yellow Sun, Raspberry Sorbet, Misty Rose), more classic silhouettes (Hortense or Raven Red) or designs with peplum or pleated skirts (Wild Strawberry, Black Sway, Scarlet Waltz or Forest Flower).
For plus size women or those who prefer styles that will accentuate the beautiful curves
All of our coats are available in sizes up to 3XL. However, we suggest going for the double-breasted styles. The following coats all look stunning on voluptuous ladies and their glorious curves: Queen of Hearts, Queen of Spades, Spring Bloom, Blue Breeze, Minty Meadow, and Blue Frost. These designs flatter the bigger figure with their full skirts and bold statement colours and floral patterns.
For women who love retro designs and want to add a dash of vintage to their life
We offer several designs, which all feature beautiful vintage-inspired patterns: our Rose Garden coat will ensure any woman wearing it looks chic and feels ultra-feminine in any kind of weather. Misty Rose, Yellow Sun, Wild Strawberry and Raspberry Sorbet have full skirts inspired by fashions of yesteryear. And for the ultimate vintage vibe, check out our Blush of The Crown, Timeless Polka Dots, Duchess in Blue, Scarlet Waltz or Crimson Heart coats.
For fashionistas everywhere looking for on trend styles
We’re not going to lie, we think ALL of our coats have timeless designs that will always be in fashion. Having said that, we do aim to incorporate seasonal trends into our coats to merge ageless style with the freshest patterns and clever colour twists.
Make sure to check out Spring Bloom, our take on the classic trench coat; Raven Red, a design that will never stop looking classy; and Primrose in Bloom, with its joyful pop of green that makes any head turn to stare in awe at the woman who wears it.
For women who want a style that will never ever be out of fashion
If you’re someone who always seeks out timeless styles in your clothes, then you’re sure to love our Heavenly White and Queen of Spades coats with their solid classic colours and practical design. Moss Green offers practicality and elegance in its subtle, muted hues, while Yellow Sun will always grab everyone’s attention whatever decade you wear it in.
For women looking for that extra touch of sophistication for nights out
When you have a special event lined u, and you want to make sure your look extra elegant, you won’t go wrong with designs, like, Black Sway that can almost be mistaken for a dress on its own, or Misty Rose and Hortense which each get their WOW factor from the combination of moody background colours flaunting the panache of giant vibrant flowers.
Not sure which size to choose?
If you are in between sizes, we suggest sizing up (for example, from M to L). But you are always welcome to contact us by writing to support@rainsisters.com, and we will be more than happy to help with choosing the right size.
What is the definition of "too many coats"?
Ladies, we know we can never have enough shoes, right? Well, you can have as many coats as you have moods so give in to the decadence and splurge on whatever takes your fancy - darker styles for nights out at the opera, high colour ones for brightening up rainy days with their vibrancy, solid backgrounds for the woman who is less “flower girl” and more “classy dame”. The most important thing is to choose what makes you feel proud to step out in and makes your own personal statement to the world: “This is me, and I’m enjoying expressing myself through this fabulously feminine coat!”
