Winter’s almost over, but the wild weather isn’t showing any signs of stopping. And on top of this, spring is the wettest season of them all, so you’re bound to face a few more rainy days before it’s clear and sunny skies ahead. So, to avoid rocking up at the office completely drenched (been there, done that) or having your weekend outfit ruined, you need a rain jacket in your arsenal.
This item of clothing probably conjures terrifying images of school excursions or little Georgie from It — neither of which are particularly inspiring. While it might feel impossible to look chic in wet weather, we promise there are raincoats out there that’ll keep you dry and have you looking good doing it. We have everything from trench coat style jackets to puffy ones, long ones and short ones — you get the gist.
This fabulous lineup will likely persuade people who swore they’d never own a raincoat to give it a try. While you’re at it, you might as well slide on your gumboots and splash around in the puddles like the big grown-up you are. Go on, we know you want to.
