Walk or bike everywhere, I’m either too cold, too warm or getting soaked pretty much daily atm with the strange weather here (East of England). I’ve taken to wearing just rubbish clothes because i don’t want to get my nice stuff soaked through.
I’d love to be wearing pretty dresses now but what the heck to do I do jacket wise??

I walk and bike everywhere now too. It’s taken quite a mindset to shift out of my former dress style of culottes, floaty midis and wool coats. All of which are terrible on a bike! I’ve found the best thing is a lovely waterproof coat that I don’t mind wearing all the time. I got a Seasalt beachcomber one from EBay and it’s really waterproof and goes with lots of things. They always say you should start cycling or walking slightly chilly as you inevitably get warmer as you go :)

I walk a lot but don’t cycle, I’m wearing this all the time at the moment. It’s so comfy and goes with all my spring clothes.

I'm wearing a lightweight waterproof Rab jacket. It's not very stylish but I don't care.

God I was back in a full length belted wool robe coat today - it was freezing! ( NW)

I’m living in my very unstylish waterproof.

You need a Rains jacket.

This one from Baukjen. It’s gorgeous, incredibly soft, comfortable and stylish. The price hurt, even with the NHS discount, but I love it, so ‘cost per wear’, it should work out well.

I love that denim jacket @SwimBaby, but it has been too cold and too wet to wear anything like that where I live.

I am currently rocking this 3 in 1 waterproof coat from Decathlon. Not the most stylish, but very necessary in this weather. I like the fact that it has loads of zipped pockets negating the need to carry a handbag.

I did think that when I posted it but hopefully some time soon it won’t be as freezing.
