The most stylish raincoats that will have you looking forward to spring showers
The chicest raincoats to get you dancing in the rain
It’s that time of year again; longer days, blooming flowers and, always, pesky and unpredictable spring showers. Our attitude at GH is, while you can’t control the weather, you can be prepared for it with a brilliant raincoat.
Having something as practical as a raincoat doesn’t mean you have to compromise on style. We’ve found a classic trench, a parka, a pac-a-mac and a rain cape for you to choose from. With so many stylish and practical options, there’s one to fit every budget and taste. What direction will you take it in? Will you stand out from the crowd in a rainbow of colour from Boden? Or go for something a little more understated, such as John Lewis & Partner’s khaki parka, to blend into your surroundings? The choice is yours.
We’ve done our research and these coats will keep you dry and warm, so the weather doesn’t have to get in the way of those errands. Be it trekking into the office, rushing to the school drop-off or taking a relaxing coastal stroll, there’s no need to let a little rain put your calendar on pause.
Each piece offers a blend of functionality and fashion, ensuring you stay comfortable, come rain or shine. Here, we’ve curated some of the best raincoats on the market, so chic that you may even find yourself wishing for a spring shower…
