Living in the UK means a raincoat is not optional. It’s just part of the deal. What we refuse to accept is that it has to be boring. There are genuinely good looking waterproof options now that you’d want to wear even when it’s not raining. Relaxed fits that work over a knit, interesting colours beyond the standard navy and khaki, and some brilliant classic Mac styles that look completely intentional. These are the raincoats we’ve found that make wet weather feel like slightly less of an assault.
