Looking chic in the rain has always seemed like an impossible feat. Struggling against a billowing wind and bravely persevering against the elements to keep stylish in the season’s latest must-have often just leaves you looking like a damp napkin. Not planning ahead often means you can find yourself alone without an umbrella, hiding beneath shop shelters, praying for the water to stop pouring! A learned skill it is to be sartorially prepared for all weathers - and learning when fashion needs to be adapted to suit the inevitably disappointing climate is essential. We all know that an ankle boot and umbrella are par for the course when it comes to stepping-out into the storms that lie ahead… but what about the rest of you?!

Heading out for an evening meal or party but the rain is streaking down? Try ditching the skirt for a stylish trouser that will keep your shins safe from splashing puddles. This autumn some of the most popular catwalk shows carried floral motifs in dark colour-schemes... Our gorgeous jacquard trouser is perfect to channel this look! Pair with an opulent blouse - one of our favourites is this gorgeous lace-hem piece with a built-in necklace that makes evening dressing easy up to a size 24. Finish off your look before stepping outside by keeping warm with a tailored-fit coat for more formal occasions - such as this textured grey jacket with high collar that eliminates your need for a bulky scarf!

For a weekend-chic spin on this season’s waterproof winners, look no further than our totally classic-yet-cool breton striped mac! Keep it sophisticated by pairing with the fashion favourite straight-cut jean. Its higher waist is ultra-flattering and the hems can be turned-up to add extra interest to your look. Top with a pop of warming marigold in the form of our super-soft cowl knit for the ultimate laid-back, rain-proof look.

And just to keep extra waterproof out there? Our pretty and versatile range of umbrellas of course! From florals to stripes - there’s one out there for any woman’s handbag. We’ve chosen our favourites to help you get started but there’s plenty more rain-proof style to explore on our main website. Hurrah!
