5 Stylish Rain Coats to Get You Through the Spring

Spring is officially here and that means several things. Firstly, we're one season closer to summer; secondly, it's not going to be quite as grey and depressing any more (touch wood) and last but not least, it's going to rain... a lot! That may sound like a bad thing and it kind of is, but every cloud has a silver lining and this one comes in the form of an excuse for buying a brand-new raincoat to see you through. There's plenty on offer out there so we've put together a list of our favourites, available to buy online right now.

Oliver Spencer Lawford Car Coat 

For something versatile this spring, this absolute beauty from British brand Oliver Spencer is just the ticket. It’s fully lined and constructed from a cotton blend, which is perfect for the changeable weather. This style is smart enough to wear with tailoring, but will work equally nicely with indigo jeans and trainers. Endless versatility in the form of a truly handsome coat. 

Available at Oliver Spencer, priced £345

Fjällräven Skogsö Jacket 

Swedish outerwear expert Fjällräven has been kitting out those in the know for over fifty years. If you’re after something a little more casual this spring, then the Skogsö jacket could be just what you’re looking for. It’s a stylish cut and is constructed from the brand’s famous G1000 fabric, which can be waxed to enhance water-repellence. If the rain’s not an issue then a quick spin in the wash will rid the jacket of its waxy coating, allowing for increased breathability but can still be re-waxed as needed. 

Available at Oi Polloi, priced £185
