I need a stylish and beautiful raincoat

With another wet winter apparently coming up it looks like I’m going to need something a bit more practical but I’d also like it to look nice.

I’m not a dog walker or a football watching mum so it doesn’t need to be super hard-wearing, it’s more for walking to town, pub or lunch with friends, wandering round a NT garden or chucking in the back of the car for the inevitable days when you get caught out.

Can anyone suggest anything that will work with ‘normal’ clothes as opposed to outdoorsy stuff? Size 18ish, budget up to £100, not fond of visible branding/logos.

Edited to add petite fit would be a bonus as I’m short and small framed, just booby and well padded 🤣

Not sure of the exact details but someone I know got a really nice looking one from Asda recently

Oh yes good idea, I've found some nice bits in Asda before.

Actually I need a Uniqlo trip so that could be an option, thanks.
