Raincoat Thats not frumpy!

[Onebusymum]

Is there such a thing as a nice raincoat?
Something thats ok to wear on the school run, supermarket run etc!

Protected species is very chic but hugely expensive. So not for the supermarket only.. I know I am not much help.

I’ve just ordered a joules coast in navy while they have 25% off!

Seasalt? I’m searching too.

Am loving this one and trying to justify another raincoat.

The material is lovely and the fit is really good

Another vote for Protected Species!
Didriksons have some nice styles sometimes.

It's only a mac in a bag but I bought a mac from fatface the other day. It's thinly lined and has a nice face.

I have this one from Sainsbury

Trench coat. Mine’s from Hobbs, Banana Republic often have nice ones too. Actual macs and anoraks always look frumpy - I own one (Arcteryx) but I’m not under any illusions about what I look like in it

Have a look at the 'Perfect Rainjacket' from J Crew

Look at Rains

I have a couple from Joules and the hoods are excellent and they keep you very dry.

Joules, 25% off ends today

I have this Rains one in a beige colour (not sure they do that shade any more) www.rains.com/collections/rainwear/products/curve-jacket?variant=6879832375342.

Absolutely LOVE IT and almost look forward to rain so that I can wear it they run massive though, I’m a size 10 and have the XXS.

I like this one?

I like it too OP!

I was also going to say Rains. Worth every penny

Yes that’s nice, they also do a longer length one which Faith from Keeping Faith wore, it was nice too.

Yes i saw that.liked the yellow last year. Never bought as i thought it was too bright for me.

I just bought this and wore it every day on a rain-soaked week in Italy last week. It kept me dry as a bone and was surprisingly un-sweaty for a plastic mac, as it is a comfortable loose fit. I’ve had lots of comments about how stylish I looked, which is quite something considering my photos were all in torrential rain!

Ignore the ‘faux leather’ nonsense - it’s just a (lined) plastic mac.

Massimo Dutti has some great ones! Or Seasalt for informal.

Elements of London do great vintage style rain coats.

For those who wear trench coats, serious question, but do you carry an umbrella when you wear it? I need to have hands free so a rain coat without a hood seems to defeat the purpose.

I have several Fat Face coats, but don't know if they still do non-frumpy ones as mine are a few years old.

They are great quality and keep you dry, plus the hoods are lovely and big. Nothing worse than a hood only coming to the front of your hairline!

I recently bought a rubberised cotton raincoat from Stutterheim.
