"...As we all know, after enduring the scorching heat of April, May in Thailand can be likened to a transition period from intense heat to the onset of the rainy season. While we may not know how long this transition will last, it's certainly wise to be prepared to avoid damage to our favourite bags and beloved shoes, while still embracing stylish looks suitable for the changing weather. Today, #Legend_th has curated a variety of items for the rainy season, allowing you to mix and match to create interesting styles..."

The Shoes

Strass Buckle Wedge Sandals in Raffia from Roger Vivier

It is well-known that animal leather is often unsuitable for the rainy season due to its susceptibility to damage, including shrinking, which can render your favourite pair unable to serve you fully after being damaged by the rain. For this reason, footwear made from organic fibre materials is an intriguing option, and the Strass Buckle Wedge Sandals in Raffia from Roger Vivier is one choice not to be overlooked. Crafted from palm tree fibres and featuring rubber for the sole, this sandal is adorned with shimmering crystal buckles, which are a signature of the brand. While not overly flashy, the blend of style and functionality for rainy season resilience is undeniable.

The Bag

Rive Gauche Large Tote Bag in Printed Canvas and Leather from Saint Laurent

While it's true that many people consider bags made from animal leather to be their favourites, we still recommend avoiding them. In reality, there are plenty of durable alternatives suitable for the rainy season. The Rive Gauche Large Tote Bag in Printed Canvas and Leather from Saint Laurent is one such piece not to be considered. With its popular design, this bag is produced in both full leather and canvas versions, complete with genuine leather handles. It comes in two colour options, both black and beige. This makes it an especially appealing choice for use during the upcoming rainy season.

The Jacket

The Hooded Parka in Cotton from Loewe

While Thailand may not experience heavy rainfall like countries in the West or Europe, it's still beneficial to carry a useful outer layer for protection against rain. The Hooded Parka in Cotton from Loewe is a worthwhile option to consider. With a versatile design suitable for various activities, it effectively provides rain protection at a satisfactory level. Furthermore, it comes in three colour options, allowing those who are interested to mix and match according to their own style without limitations.

The Hat

Cotton Blend Bucket Hat from Burberry

The Bucket-style hat crafted from a blend of cotton and polyester by the prestigious brand from London, Burberry, in the striking Knight blue tone, comes with intricate embroidery details that are the signature emblem of the brand. The staple piece of the season that we believe strongly serves as a focal point to elevate rainy season outfits with undeniable charm.

The Makeup

Diorshow Iconic Overcurl Waterproof from Dior

Women and their eyelashes can be compared to inseparable best friends. But how can you make your lashes stand out beautifully amidst the rain showers without fail? For this, the luxurious mascara from Dior, the Diorshow Iconic Overcurl Waterproof, is the true companion every woman can rely on. With its long-lasting waterproof properties for up to 24 hours, it not only protects against water but also volumises and curls the lashes effectively, leaving them looking stunning and noticeable even in the rain.

The Essential

Women's Black Skull Umbrella in Black from Alexander McQueen

In the rainy season, carrying an umbrella in your bag seems like a necessary and sensible habit, regardless of whether you're a gentleman or a lady. The option we've selected to recommend this time is none other than the Women's Black Skull Umbrella in Black from Alexander McQueen. Despite the product's name suggests it's for women, based on its design, size, and colour tone, we can significantly assure you that this umbrella can undoubtedly be carried with elegance by gentlemen as well.
