a raincoat which has a feminine shape

[faffadoodledo]

I thought I'd found the perfect raincoat - Didrickson's. Loved the colours and thought I loved the shapes, But when I tried them on they did what all raincoats seem to do on women (or this woman at least!) - gave me a boxy or rectangular shape. Other than a trench coat are there any more tailored looking raincoats out there? Don;t need insulation - just waterproofedness. For dog walking or walking around towns and cities., I want practical but with feminine, shaped tailoring. Any suggestions welcome x

There is a Rains one with a tie belt..... not a huge choice of colours, though. Belted also in Protected Species

Trying to avoid trenches and tie belts @grannysbay. Want to keep it simple. But with a hint of structured waist. I think I'm searching for a unicorn!

I have an M&S good move one which has elastic pulleys inside on the waist, so you can draw it in without having something tied

Rain Sisters are lovely. Not cheap but very nice.

My sister has a knee-length Joules raincoat with a drawstring waist, no tie belt.

Ilse Jacobsen? This one is fitted into the waist (model looks like hers is too big 🙄). Loads of colours.

Ooo that one looks great @NameChangePropertyAdvice
I can spend on this - I wear outdoors clothes a lot, and am sick of looking shapeless. Off to investigate.....

Hobbs

They're brilliant quality and properly waterproof @faffadoodledo - I had one that shape for many years and now have a shorter, straighter one which I also love but didn't fit your brief. Good luck! x

I have a couple of raincoats from sweaty betty that I love because they have an adjustable drawstring waist which gives a nice feminine shape. I find them to be cut very flatteringly too.

Rain sisters have gorgeous coats.

I have a Columbia one that has an internal adjustable drawstring around the waist.

Wow @Illpickthatup that takes feminine to another level!

Even my Primark one has a drawstring inside at the waist too.

Do your dogs really care??

I live in a very wet, wild and windy part of Scotland and would not be without a proper waterproof. Didricksons have filled the bill admirably for many years. Whatever their shape - and - as any fule know (to quote Molesworth) - it's the shape you are in underneath the outer casings that matters. (Or,even more important, the esteem that you and your DH/DP/DPartner hold you in WHATEVER you wear. ) FWIW Didricksons DO come with drawstring waist if that's important to you. https://www.newforestclothing.co.uk/products/didriksons So do many other brands, of course.

I just have got one they are lovely

Dear oh dear, it doesnt need some philosophical navel gazing, OP just wants to look stylish and not like a lump.

OP I have a little rain jacket with a draw string waist, makes all the difference

I have a Rains Long jacket it’s lovely, I do find it runs small though. I would recommend the Primark Rain jacket, it has a drawstring waist and great value for money.

Blimey, they are fantastic coats

@nameXname I live in very damp west cornwall - there's a reason it's so green! So like you I know all about wet weather. I loved Didricksons in theory but the reality was their coats really did nothing for me when they arrived. I wear good boots for walking g and just want something I feel nice in coat wise.
And I have a very stylish dog ;)

I have this one (OOS at John Lewis now). I feel nice in it, it doesn't have a waist, but it's pretty and lightweight.

I have the Jacobsen one in Chateau Grey. Can highly recommend.

I don't have one but Rainsisters always look lovely.
