Introduction to Raincoats
At best, the British weather is moody. Sunshine over your morning coffee, at lunch and a lively curtain when you go home from work. To manage these shifts without looking as if they had turned away from a hiking trail, a raincoat must be more than just functional, but be part of the identity of their wardrobe.
Length and Silhouette
To make the proportions correctly is the first most important thing you can consider. The key is the versatility.

Modern recycled synthetic and bound cottons are light and crisp and ideal for a“ sharp ”look.
Gore-Tex and other technical membranes are the greatest performance, and if they are styled in sophisticated cuts, they can look as sharp as traditional fabrics and are stormy.
Get a Coat that can Both
A raincoat that not only works Monday to Friday, but also on weekends, is the Holy Grail.
