Help needed - I need a raincoat

6 replies

I need a raincoat for spring and I'm stumped.

I'd like a non-boring one, rainproof and not too thick or heavy. I can't wear yellow or yellow based colours and I'm short. I don't want a particularly short one because then my legs just get soaked. I know I sound really fussy, sorry 😔

Main problem is I'm not very well off and can't afford to go very far over £60.

Any ideas style gurus?

Not sure what a non boring one would be. I like Rains ones

I have the shorter one but as I am short it's fine for me, covers my bum

Would you consider buying from Vinted? Rains or Ilse Jacobsen would fit your brief and there are lots of nearly new on there under your budget. I have a raspberry pink Ilse J and love it!

I have a coat and the city walker jacket from https://www.protected-species.com. Am genuinely glad to know it's going to rain, in order to wear these.

Beautiful fabric and the kn d of technical finish which really keeps out the rain. Bliss.

Sign up and then wait for a discount code. I cracked at 50% off.

Thank you 😊

I never thought of Vinted - I've just got myself a pink SeaSalt raincoat for just over £20!!
