Going out in the rain becomes fashionable – AfternoonTea’s French-style rainy day fashion

Taiwan has a hot and humid climate, and during the summer season when afternoon thunderstorms are common, an all-weather umbrella that offers both sunshade and rain protection has become an essential commuting item. Afternoon Tea has launched a “Happy Rainy Day” series of new products to lift your mood on rainy days. The collection includes cloak-style, short and long raincoats, trench coats featuring polka dot, plaid, and stripe designs, combining practicality with fashion. For the first time, it also collaborates with the French footwear manufacturer “Méduse” to create rain boots, as well as exclusive design items such as compact all-weather umbrellas, waterproof bag covers, and umbrella sleeves. Additionally, from June 16 to June 29, enjoy a 10% discount on single items including rain gear, raincoats, umbrellas, and rain boots (available at Zhongxiao, Nanshi, Tianmu, Breeze, Taichung, Taipei Times, and Kaohsiung Times)!

In collaboration with the French shoe manufacturer Méduse, founded in 1946, Afternoon Tea has launched “ankle boot-style rain boots.” Featuring resin and elastic band designs, these rain boots are waterproof, lightweight, and easy to put on and take off. They also include a special metal accent at the ankle for a low-key, minimalist look.

The new raincoats emphasize breathability and everyday versatility. The “short raincoat,” styled like a jacket, can be worn even on non-rainy days. The “trench coat-style raincoat,” with its belt and double-breasted design, showcases a bold style.

Perfect for cyclists, the “cloak-style raincoat” features a transparent brim to avoid obstructing your view. Its longer front and shorter back cut help prevent thigh wetness, and the back includes reflective safety strips. The “all-weather foldable umbrella” uses a lightweight yet sturdy fiberglass frame and water-repellent coating to reduce water sticking to the fabric and prevent clothes from getting wet. The sky-blue umbrella fabric with polka dots offers a look that is both cute and elegant.
