4 Rules for Looking Right In The Rain

For men, the only thing worse than getting stuck in a sudden shower is sweating in a sudden shower. Our solution? A lightweight jacket that mixes fashion with function and justifies dressing up on those rainy days that drag you down.

Go beyond your basic rain coats and follow these rules for looking right in the rain.

Rule #1: Don’t Be Afraid of Color

When it’s pouring outside, beige isn’t exactly the best shade that’ll make you want to get out of bed and suit up for your morning meeting. Instead of taking your tried and true trench, opt for a jacket in a colorful alternative like red, green or blue. These bold, brilliant hues will brighten your day and have you standing out while staying dry.

Rule #2: Opt For Technical But Tailored

Modern lightweight jackets aren’t just your typical sporty styles. Now, designers are tailoring jackets in sharp silhouettes and putting technical waterproof spins on outerwear. If business is your main reason for buying, choose an anorak in a deep green or a dark navy blazer in nylon.

Rule #3: Learn To Layer

A bulky padded jacket will make you feel hot and humid. The key to wet weather wardrobes is layering. Use a lightweight jacket as your waterproof top layer and look for materials like Gore-Tex or rubberized cotton.

Rule #4: Details Make The Difference

There’s nothing worse than wearing your favorite rain or trench coat and discovering your clothing is still damp. Tackle the non-traditional with jackets that actually do their job and look for details that keep the rain out like taped interior seams.

Daily downpours call for outerwear that’s going to keep your clothes dry and your style high. Don’t sweat the sudden showers, opt for a lightweight jacket that will instantly lift your style up.

Lightweight jackets will have your backs covered when braving the rain.
