My daughter was born in November a couple of years ago and like every new parent, I spent most of my days walking through parks, hitting the shops and dashing to baby classes while pushing a pram. As it was winter, my outdoor mum-and-baby time often meant that we were dealing with heavy rain, cold winds and the odd snow shower, and even my very best trench coat couldn’t keep me warm and dry. I decided to invest in a proper raincoat that would keep the damp out while still looking stylish, and I found just what I needed with a mushroom-beige hooded design by Danish brand, Rains.
I have used this lightweight jacket for pretty much every rainy day since then, and it's still going strong. It's absolutely maxed out its cost per wear, and it's definitely up there as one of the best waterproof jackets I’ve ever owned.
