How To Look Sharp In The Rain

When it comes to deciding what to wear when the weather turns soggy, the standard slicker and sub-par umbrella just won’t cut it. You need a coat that’s not only stylish and light, but one that’s willing and able to keep your clothes looking fly and dry.

It’s time to toss out your typical rain gear with these three coat options that will have you riding out the storm and staying dry in style.

The Classic Trench

We don’t need to make a case for the classic trench, but we suggest every man has one in his wardrobe arsenal. Deeply rooted in British history, this raincoat got its name from the officers who wore them fighting in the trenches of northern France in WWI. Now you too can fight the torrential rain and unexpected showers looking timeless and smart. Opt for a neutral shade like beige, black or navy and layer it over everything from slim-fit suits and leather brogues to turned-up chinos and lace-up boots.

The Mac

It’s time to bring the classic Macintosh coat back, only this time infused with subtle accents and brighter shades. In an era of sharp suits and skinny ties, the Mac still packs serious style and keeps your polished threads clean and classy. The best part of all? Traditional Macs have a matte finish which give whatever you’re wearing a sophisticated finish. Don’t want to break up your business look with a bright slicker? Complement your gray business suits with a gray Mac for a monochromatic, modern look instead of a clashing coat.

The Anorak

An anorak is the best way to punch up your dreary office commute with a pop of color, and luckily for you, most are designed with the harshest weather in mind. Utilitarian details like extra pockets and foldable pouches ensure that no matter where you are when the weather turns wet, an anorak will have you and your clothing covered. A bright red or blue will counterbalance your business go-tos and compliment your casual pieces like khakis, sneakers and tees.

Life doesn’t stop once the rain starts, so take a raincheck on your tired, old rain gear and fight the weather in these three simple and sleek coat options.

Stay high and dry in style with a slick raincoat.
