I have a pink raincoat from Boden that I bought last year. It was from their summer range though so it's not as waterproof as cod's example, just 'shower proof'. It's quite nice and has a lovely stripey fleece lining. I feel a bit of a twit when I wear it though as I also have pink wellies - think I look like an over co-ordinated 6 year old.
Much prefer using an umbrella. Can just about manage with buggy if I use the 3 wheeler as I can (just) push it with one hand. Pain though when I get to road and have to hold ds's hand.

that's cute ginger.

lol Easy.

pencil for lady dogs phone nos

ipod surely! ha!

I HATE brollies. They're the Devil's work, especially when it's blowy like it is up here often.

I wear a mac w/a hat and scarf and my wellies.

hawkeshead is good place to look, but how do Londoners maintain cool chic image in hiking gear or ski-wear?

Puff has a dilema.

I still remember that first winter with a buggy when it dawned on me that umbrellas and hoodless coats are no good. Before you know it you're shelling out for a binbagalike from North Face.
This is another thing you're not told before you have kids.

A trench coat !!!

No idea what to do re keeping your hair dry. Either drive, wear a hat, wear a hood or use a brolly.

bp, had similar revelation when i became a radio reporter - you can't use a brolly and wield a microphone!

Nailpolish, I think his days of picking up laydees are over, he is too arthritic bless him (and neutered)

awwwwww

bless him

I need a coat with a hood.

And I don't want to look really sad.

And I don't want to spend lots of money.

there is such a thing as a chic raincoat BUT they just don't have hoods.

I've got a proper old woman's raincoat - sort of dusty navy colour and about 3 sizes too big so the sleeves are long enough and I can wear a nice warm wooly underneath. Looks divine. Luckily now I am so old I am invisible anyway

When I was 19 and thin I had an ankle-length red rubberised cotton sort of riding mac thing from Harrods - can't remember the make but it was dead cool in 1970.

Blimey - 71 posts on rain-going attire - PMSL!

like the pink boden one (sale obviously) but it's a case of waterproof v breathable these days, no?

agree with ndp

how about posh pink (or "toffee apple")Boden one in sale, wellies from Matalan and black drizabone hat??

Just wondered if anyone had answered beetroot's plea for a trendy stylish raincoat???
