The Fisherman's Coat

Would you be daring enough to try something different this season? With many running to the Macintosh’s and Burberry Trench coats to keep them dry and stylish, it is a time to step out of the crowd and sport a bright sort of rain cover up this Autumn during the inevitable showers.

We refer to the yellow fisherman’s coat. The colour adds a bit of happiness back into a dull day and of course it is designed to keep you dry and warm.

The style of jacket has been seen on many occasions throughout the city of Bergen, Norway, where the locals explain to visitors that it rains there all the time. Therefore, the fisherman jacket is probably a choice you can trust.

In terms of making a fashion statement, pair with dark neutrals, even black. Try a black or dark turtle neck jumper to keep your neck dry, with the yellow jacket thrown on over the top. Statement and effortless.

Fashion and the Fjords - Helly Hansen

Norway was blessed with beautiful weather at the weekend, so many took to their boats and spent the weekend on the fjords or soaking up the sun on beaches of the many islands dotted around in the water.

Norwegian brand Helly Hansen provides the wardrobe for such adventures. 

Helly Hansen was originally a clothing company set up for marine activities. They were "born by the sea"

The collection sticks to the red, white and blue colours of the Norwegian flag, and also adds to the whole marine feel.
