Of course, we can’t guarantee this exact scenario when you’re trudging through the rain, but we can guarantee these raincoats for women will be the silver lining of every storm.

Raincoats for women that shine through drab weather
Living in the UK, a trusty waterproof is a necessity any time of year. But wearing the same utilitarian black jacket can get old and even undermine the outfit you’ve flawlessly pieced together. That’s why it’s time to turn to these stylish raincoats.
From fun prints to bold colours and chic designs, here’s where to look when you want a raincoat to keep you dry and look great at the same time.

When the weather tries to keep you down, this jacket from ASOS will give your day a boost. Its practical design and unique blue shade combine to create a warm, cosy, fashionable piece you’ll be turning to every rainy day.
We’re also fans of its longline silhouette and other features like the high-collar, drawstring hood and press-stud pockets.

Sweaty Betty Motion Longline Waterproof Parka
You save £110 (50%)£220
Classic lines, a light colourway and total waterproofing, what’s not to love? The minimalistic design of the Motion Waterproof Parka won’t cramp your style. It looks just as good worn over jeans and a jumper while on a country walk as it does when braving a commute-time downpour. An attached hood and high-low, long-line hem are the added cherry on top to keep you warm and dry.

Anne Weyburn Recycled Hooded Windbreaker
You save £49.50 (50%)£99
Price may very depending on colour
Covering the bases and keeping you dry, this rain jacket is a conscientious choice as it’s made of recycled material. A mid-length style keeps the weather at bay but its lightweight design keeps it from feeling bulky, a major win in our eyes. It’s available in sizes 10 through 26 and while we love the navy colourway, we’re also major fans of the ever-on-trend camel option.

Keep dry and show off your outfit while donning the Longline Transparent Festival Mac available at boohoo. It’s a fun way to hint at your outfit of the day, making it feel more like an intentional accessory than an essential for wading through British weather. Setting it apart from other clear raincoats is its chic piping detail.

Longline Drawstring Windbreaker
You save £22.50 (50%)£45
Another windbreaker style women’s raincoat, the Longline Drawstring Windbreaker from Dorothy Perkins looks far more expensive than it actually is. Its oversized look is a popular style at the moment as is its ivory colour with black accents. Pair it with a bodycon long-sleeve dress, tights and your go-to Chelsea boots and there’s no rain that can dampen your date night look.

Long Jacket
Made by Rains, a Scandinavian designer, it’s no surprise that this raincoat wins out as our top pick for a chic rain jacket. Its unisex style is fashion-forward and the ‘silver pine’ colour option is just enough of a twist on your traditional black raincoat. However, if you want more options, it comes in 10 colours, so you’re bound to find the one that best complements your wardrobe.

Making sure your jacket doesn’t swamp you is the first thought every petite lady has when it comes to coat shopping. This PixieGirl parka is a perfect size and cut with some cute features to boot. Its asymmetrical hemline serves up rustic looks while its drawstrings contrast well against the navy colour. Oh, and it’s super crushable for easy packing so, it’s the perfect travel companion.
As if that wasn’t enough, this parka is available in normal and plus sizes, too.

If there ever was a perfect office jacket, this is it. Its shorter hemline is a fun alternative to longline rain jackets and it’s taken inspiration from traditional trench coats.

Jasambac Womens Outdoor Rain Jacket
16 colours, 1,200-plus reviews and a 4.1-star rating on Amazon, we might not need to say more — but we will. We’re drawn to the ‘wine red’ option as it offers a different take on your typical khaki or dark-coloured waterproof. It has multiple pockets, a drawstring waist and of course, a hood. For us, its simple flattering and functional style makes it the ideal jacket for a lazy autumn Saturday spent walking to a country pub.
Rain jacket roll call
If a cute raincoat seemed out of your reach before, we’re sure you feel differently now. With bold options like the Lilac Happy Face Flower Printed Trench Coat from Skinnydip, there’s always a way to add a bit of pizzaz. Or keep it classic with the ultra-chic Rain Long Jacket, Ted Baker Quilted Jacket or Sweaty Betty Mission Waterproof Parka.
Looking for a plus-size raincoat? There’s the Recycled Hooded Windbreaker available at La Redoute. Meanwhile, petite ladies can depend on the PixieGirl Petite Packable Parka.
We’re hard-pressed to pick a favourite, but we’re seriously eyeing up the Waterproof Cycling Jacket — particularly if you live for your morning run — and the Dorothy Perkins Longline Drawstring Windbreaker.
Whichever jacket you bring home, we hope it brings a bit of fun to even the glummest of days.
