attire

It sure is rainy today! It rained a whole lot yesterday, and the weather forecast says it's going to rain almost all week. This morning before I left the house, I had to put on special attire so that I wouldn't get too wet. Do you have special attire that you wear on rainy days? I wear my polka-dot rain coat and rain boots.
