We all know what it’s like when rainy weather plays havoc with our outfits – but with a few tips and tricks – you can easily weatherproof your winter fits.
From smart fabric choices to trendy accessories, we’ve got you covered, rain or shine!
The Transparent Trench
Seek shelter in the easiest way possible by adding a transparent trench.
These opaque layers are great for slipping on over your winter outfits without having to change a single thing.

The Heavy-Duty Boot
Make your outfit rainy-day appropriate by adding a gumboot. Each with thick soles and waterproof coating, they are essential when navigating water-logged streets.
Far from old-school gardening boots, these styles are practical and surprisingly comfy. Try teaming yours with jeans on the weekend.

The Quick-Drying Tee
Look for smart fabrics across your everyday wardrobe pieces to speed up the drying process like Uniqlo’s clever DRY-EX technology t-shirt.
Darker colours are the best at concealing evidence of raindrops easily, so take this into consideration when buying yours.

The Practical Tote
Keep your leather goods at home and lean towards taking a nylon or transparent bag outdoors.
Extra-large sizes are particularly handy in these water-resistant materials since they can be wiped down, keeping your essentials stored safely.
