Mackage Packables, a Stylish Solution for April Showers

You know what they say, “April showers bring May flowers.” But, what they really mean, is that with April just around the corner, you better prepare for a wet one: galoshes, umbrellas and all. Don’t let the dreary outdoors get you down, though; there is a sliver lining to those storm clouds. Naturally, we’re talking about the fun wardrobe choices you get to make when the weather just won’t cooperate with canvas sneakers or a suede motorcycle jacket.

A swimsuit for every body? We swear it’s possible.

Thankfully, one of our favorite outerwear lines is here to help. Mackage has been a gold standard for chic outerwear since we discovered the genius behind designers Eran Elfassy and Elisa Dahan. The Canadian duo designs perfectly tailored jackets and coats for men and women with an eye for detail. Their pieces often feature exaggerated collars, leather belts, bell sleeves or zipper details. Perfect for when you want to show off your figure in a sophisticated way that is anything but stuffy.

Do you know what’s in your makeup?

For Spring 2010, they’ve stepped away from their favorite material, leather, and tried their hand at something a little more useful for when the clouds erupt. They have created a new line of jackets called Packables, which are designed after popular Mackage styles, but intended to be packed away for a moment’s notice. Made out of water resistant polyester, and all priced under $300, this is the perfect addition to your spring wardrobe.

For women, there are two styles, “Lana,” a short jacket with leather detailing at the cuffs and a zip-away hood, and the “Bibi,” a knee-length coat with bell sleeves. The Lana is our favorite, truly perfect for packing into a bag for when you least expect the rain, or even better, for when the sun comes out. Pick the classic black, or get a little more adventurous with grape or red- you’ll be packed and ready for April in no time.
