Stylish light raincoat

Morning all!
I’m after a light weight rain coat, a fashionable one! My friend had one years ago from Next but I’m not really a fan of any I’ve seen on their site. I’m thinking something that has a bit of shape, so maybe a drawstring at the waist?
I’m a size 10, early thirties, don’t want anything too bright. I’ve got a waterproof but it’s too thick and hot in this heat. I want something light that I can fold up and throw under the pram.
Thanks all!

I got one on a whim in primark, it’s olive green and really light. Only £9 but I’ve had loads of compliments on it! They had loads of different colours, might be worth looking in there?

I’ve got a really pretty light one from Primark, too, that folds up to nothing, but sadly it really isn’t waterproof.

I got one from Primark also, wore it during a light shower and it did nothing! I've been looking for a summer raincoat also but not really seen anything I fancy. I do want a Protected Species coat but am currently on a weightloss mission so I don't wan to invest yet as they are £££ (also waiting on sale/discount code)

Mine is from next, it's a cagoul type thing. Not going to in high fashion awards but it's ok.

I also have one of the Primark ones! I like it and it seemed to be waterproof on wet school runs recently.

Like this one www.uk.rains.com/products/curve-jacket

Or

Lots of neutral colours too.

I bought a proper technical waterproof from North Face on the basis that if it’s raining I won’t look stylish anyway 😂

Thank you for the links, I’ll have a nosey at them! :)
