Those with really cool raingear, on the other hand, show either a "Boy Scout readiness" or actually camp, exercise, or walk their dogs in the rain! They are the prepared, the people we wished we were at 6:00 p.m. Monday night, June 17th. Most importantly, they were dry. Armed with rubber boots, a Norleaster hat, rubber raincoat with taped seams, a person might look peculiar, but they are also the essence of Flood Chic. Flood chic will no doubt replace offerings from New York and Paris. To be noted, every retail store at East Towne Mall had raingear front and center June 18th.
