Well, folks, it’s official. Summer is over, and the wild, wild wet is well and truly here. If you’ve rocked up at the office completely drenched or had your weekend outfit ruined, then you’re in desperate need of one thing — a rain jacket. Especially considering March was the wettest month on record, and we’re not due for a reprieve for a few more months.
This item of clothing probably conjures terrifying images of school excursions or little Georgie from It — neither of which are particularly inspiring. So it probably feels impossible to look chic in wet weather, but we promise there are raincoats out there that’ll keep you dry and have you looking good doing it. We have everything from trenchcoat 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. It’s time to throw one on, strap on your wellie boots, and splash around in the puddles like the big grown-up you are. Go on, we know you want to.
