It’s feeling like fall here in Seattle and it’s time to break out my new waterproof rain cape. I got the khaki one for myself because I thought it would pair so well with all the BLACK I wear in the winter, though I’m trying to add a bit more color and pattern this year. Today we’ll start with our basics for biking in the rain.

1. We love the leather pants / leggings trend, skinny and enough movement for an easy commute (though we think they’ll get a little warm for longer rides). These vegan leather pants from Madewell are perfect, $98. 2. Our waterproof rain cape in khaki, a totally functional twist on your classic trench, $260. 3. Ummmm, chambray all day! This chambray from Rivet & Thread has a great patchwork, wornin look, $138. 4. The Rachel Comey Mars Booties are a staple out here in rainy Seattle, $403.

What are you wearing under your cape?
