The poor weather influenced some of Zagreb’s residents who decided to dress in neutral colours, whilst others spited with full colour.

ZAGREB, CROATIA - Even though it did not stop falling, on Saturday the rain did not drive away the downtowners from Zagreb’s streets.

The only refreshing items in the sea of grey, black and brown jackets were the occasional coloured umbrella, original scarves in purple, blue, red and other colours, or bags. Zagreb’s young women still opt for the knee high boots, which could be found in all colours, even though black was the dominant one. Some decided to wear more sporty combinations, and appeared in wide pants and sneakers.

Most of Zagreb’s residents preferred simplicity, so for their Saturday walk they put on simple blue jeans and a jacket, and decided to put a bit of life into their look with the occasional colourful shirt.

However, there was those who recognized that the weather is warmer, so they put on shorter jackets in purple, brown and other colours. Increasingly many trendsetters decided to put on short leather jackets in many colours, and due to the warmer weather, they left their hats in their wardrobes.

However, you could find some really original combinations and unusual cuts.

There was the occasional poncho in white or brown, and there were those who forgot their umbrellas, so they pulled their hoods over their heads.

Some decided to break the monotony with colourful skirts, dresses with floral prints, or coats with an unusual cut.
