From sunshine one day to non-stop rain the next, to say the weather has been unpredictable these last couple of days is an understatement.
On those days the skies open up, umbrellas (although we all know what happens to them when it’s too windy) and waterproofs are our only defence, so it’s worth investing in a decent raincoat. I know that doesn’t sound like the most exciting way to spend your hard earned money – most of us associate waterproofs with a hiking trip to the Lake District – but I promise it doesn’t have to be.
A good jacket is the foundation of every outfit, so keep that in mind when you’re shopping for a raincoat. You won’t reach for it (even when it’s lashing down) unless it fits your style and goes with your wardrobe, so stick with what you know.
Would you describe your style as sporty chic? Check out the longline parkas at Next, Joules and Sweaty Betty.With oversized pockets and hoods, their waterproofs are definitely more casual than a classic trench coat.
Alternatively, John Lewis, Barbour and Lululemonhave smarter, in-between options, though they do come with a higher price tag.
If long coats aren’t your thing, and you’re looking for a style that hits your hip or upper thigh, then browse the collections at M&S, H&M and Vuori. They’ve got some sleek styles in muted beige and blue tones.
So scroll on for 15 of the best raincoats on the high street to wear in this unpredictable weather…
