For the last two weeks I can’t say we’ve graced with benign weather!
It feels more like becoming more and more tropical by the year with the almost daily pattern of hot and clear morning making place for impossible and unprdictable downpours in the afternoon and evening!

Although this pair of ensmbles has been called “Summer Resort Style”, I find them quite elegant and proper for any kind of party, function or even night out in such weather!

Median prices by European standards but very reasonable here in Shizuoka!

For all the rain falling in the second half of the day you still need some headgear to fend off the sun in the morning!

Worth thinking about it!
