Even though there are some good things about wet weather—fashionable layering, being under a blanket when it’s thundering outside, recreating that Notebook moment with your begrudging partner—being caught out in the rain isn’t one of them. There is nothing worse than leaving your house in a good outfit and a fresh blow-out only to have a temperamental downpour ruin your day before it even gets going.
This is where raincoats come in.
