Help me find a stylish waterproof jacket?

Does such a thing exist?! Not too 'mumsy' but still actually waterproof? And not like I've given up on style (as mentioned in a recent thread) / plan to climb a mountain later. I'm 32 if that makes any difference. Currently on maternity leave with DD (6 weeks) so lots of pram walking. I don't like toggles. Please help!

If you like that IJ one then google Didrikson Thelma . Is similar and super waterproof . I had one bit sold it because frankly it looked awful on me because I'm short . I saw a lady wearing it looking amazing and realised what it was supposed to look like 🙄

I know what you mean @HLBug which is why I got the plain khaki one from joules and then it just has a few flowers right at the bottom- it's very in-mumsy! I know what you mean about the mumsy prints though!

*un-mumsy

Helly Hansen worth a look. Got a kind of fitted woman shaped bone from there that just looks a bit nicer for it. Good colours too.

Sigh, *one not bone. Should proof read.

God, how I wish I had a shiny new waterproof today. Drenched I tell you, drenched.

So pleased! I love mine and will defo be getting another next year. Good luck with the matching wellies!

Does anyone know what lining the Ilse Jacobsen coat has? I was after it before but someone said it made you sweaty. I have a Ness raincoat that makes me sweaty, it's horrible.

We're on holiday ATM but I'll look at mine when I get back. I've never felt sweaty in it personally but I'll double check
