Does a stylish rain hat exist?

Having given up the hunt for a stylish warm, waterproof coat that doesn't look like I'm going up Ben Nevis or walking the dog in February I've now decided what I need is a decent rain hat (too windy for umbrellas, yes, even the wind proof ones, in my coastal location).

All the ones I've found so far seem to be some variation of the bucket hat or cattle drover variety. Am I on to a lost cause here? Is there such a thing as a stylish, non- Country Living-esque, rain hat?

Seriously, I don't know. I have looked for something but everything makes me look like I should be in League of Gentlemen!

Pieceofpurplesky I would need a chin strap to keep it on I think!

I got one from Cos last year in waxed cotton. It's kind of cloche shaped and asymmetrical which, like a lot of Cos, might be a bit marmite but I like it. The most important thing is that I can squash it into a bag without worrying about damaging it. There is unfortunately one major drawback: it's one-size and a bit big so, if it's windy, I have to hold on to it.

The Cos website seems to be down so I can't check if they're still selling it but I think they do it, or something similar, every year.
