Your guide to the season’s best raincoats

Come rain or shine, stay stylish with these outerwear staples

British weather is notoriously disappointing so, as we descend into winter, we’ll inevitably be enjoying cold, wet and noticeable more grey days. But whilst we all hope for even a single ray of sunshine, why not endure the awful weather in style by investing in a raincoat?

A wardrobe essential at this time of year, raincoats will keep you warm and dry without compromising your fashion credentials. Here are our picks of the Autumn/Winter collections.

In a chic shade of camel, this shell coat from NN07 is more than just waterproof – it’s also taped with internal seams for a windproof finish, and has a removable collar should you wish to create a more streamlined look.

For gents that prefer the off-duty aesthetic, this commuter mac from Polo Ralph Lauren is perfect with its relaxed fit and muted colour.

Step out into the rain in style with this unique mac from Peter Werth, which boasts an eye-catching grey check pattern.

Burberry are a brand famous for their trenchcoats, and this number doesn’t disappoint. As well as being crafted from a showerproof technical nylon, it has a detachable hood for any unexpected heavier downpours.

This minimal mac from River Island may be pared back in design, but its distinct hue of olive green and sharp pointed collar makes it the perfect way to make an understated style statement.

Turn yourself into a much-needed spot of colour in the dreary grey winter with this trench coat from Scotch & Soda. In a striking shade of rust orange, this coat also features a wooly lining with abstract retro print – for that extra bold touch.

Feel well and truly protected in this high performance jacket from Uniqlo. Not only does it have a watertight zip and seams to prevent the rain from seeping in, but its lining also cleverly wicks away moisture to ensure you stay dry all day.
