STYLE – HOW TO…Dress For The Rain

As you know, living here in the UK can mean we’re subject to rather unpredictable weather conditions. However, one thing’s for sure: whatever the time of year, rain will undoubtably be on the cards. So, what should you be wearing during these most miserable of wet days? Well fear not, gentlemen, as here we give you our simple three essential wet weather items that you’ll need in order to survive the rain this season.

First off, there’s no better (or simpler) way to combat wet weather than with a high quality, luxury umbrella. More masculine than you think, the umbrella is possibly one of the most Gentlemanly accessories a man can possess. So let’s turn our attention to this neat, minimalistic check lined collapsable umbrella by Burberry. The finest way to stay sartorially fresh in the rain.

Next up, we take a look at another piece from Burberry. Of course, it’s the Trench Coat. As the rain lashes down onto your style savvy umbrella, a sharply tailored twill trench coat goes hand in hand with your brolly. From Burberry London, you can expect nothing less than perfection here.

Our third and final pick for combatting the rain goes to another style essential. The wellington boot! And where better to head than Aigle. As stylish as they are practical, and made solely for the purpose of being outdoors. (Errr… like most boots, then). But these are so much more than your average brand – classic, well made and durable – there will be no stopping you come the inevitable down pours.
