The Great British summer can never be truly relied upon – often in just one day we can have scorching temperatures and blue skies followed by a heavy downpour so it can be hard to choose an outfit, especially as we head towards the end of the season. Because the forecast is a bit all over the place, it's worth having a lightweight and shower-proof jacket ready and waiting to keep you covered if the heavens open just as you head out the door.
When it comes to the best waterproof jackets, there are plenty to choose from, but if you're unsure about where to start, I urge you to take note of Billie Piper’s latest weather-ready look and opt for a checked cover-up. The star was spotted at Wilderness Festival, wearing a simple t-shirt and jeans outfit, but added a practical-meets-high-fashion spin to her classic combination with a printed car coat by much-loved British heritage brand, Barbour. The longer length and straight cut jacket looked fabulous on the star, and the patterned design made a style statement while still being very wearable for everyday.
