The rainy season is fast approaching and we’ve already had some rain-filled weeks. This means it is time to break out a raincoat or perhaps an excuse to buy a new one. If you’re looking to get one, consider your daily activities. Are you always out for meetings or perhaps you enjoy going on hikes. Whatever you have planned during the day or if you just want a raincoat that stands out, check out the list below.
On-the-go
If you’re always out and about and want to be safe in case it rains, the pocketable parka from Uniqlo should be in your bag. Made of polyester, it is light, soft, and comfortable to wear. It also has side pockets with concealed zippers so you can keep your valuables safe when walking in the street. And of course the best part is that it is pocketable meaning you can pack it in the small pouch it comes with for easy portability. Available at SM Makati.
Millennial
If you’re still obsessed with millennial pink, carry it over to the rainy season with this raincoat from Topshop. “Stay cute whatever the weather throws at you” with a hooded coat. It is also lined with black and white stripes, patch front pockets, and zip fastening. Available at SM Aura Premier.
Outdoor
Do you enjoy going on hikes or maybe running when there’s a light drizzle? Pick a raincoat that is suited for the outdoors and allows you to move in active situations. This waterproof, breathable jacket from The North Face has a stowable hood, zip closure for hand and chest pockets, and is made of 100 percent recycled nylon. Available at Glorietta 4.
Trendsetter
Stand out in the middle of a stormy day with this metallic raincoat from Zara. This jacket is a bit oversized so you can layer it over whatever outfit you have underneath. It is also longer than other raincoats so it will cover part of your legs from the rain as well. Available at Power Plant Mall.
