Staying dry never looked so good
Heavy rain has been battering parts of the UAE this week and according to The National Centre for Meteorology (NCM) the bad weather is set to continue for at least another few days. So if you need to venture outside, make sure you do so with a raincoat that’s both fashionable and functional. These top picks will repel water, allow heat to escape, and keep you looking stylish - even on the dreariest of days.
Wet-weather essentials can often be a little dull and drab, but Danish label Rains is changing all of that. From their Aw18 collection, this raincoat is made from glossy PU in a pretty dusty-pink shade that's sure to lift your mood on drizzly days. The drawstring hood, storm flap and long silhouette will keep you protected from the elements.
Protect yourself from seasonal showers in style by opting for this logo-adorned raincoat from Proenza Schouler. Rendered from waterproof fabric with an oversized drawstring hood, the longer-length design buttons down the body and features side pockets. Layer over everyday ensembles before facing a downpour.
First seen on the label's flea market-inspired AW18 runway, Vetements' floral print raincoat embodies Demna Gvasalia's vintage-inspired vision for the season. Lightweight and rainproof, this hooded style should be left open and worn over a high collar shirt with a midi skirt for a rainy afternoon.
Backed with a sunny yellow lining, this raincoat from Mira Mikati is cut from emerald rubber and has toggles at the hood to keep your hair dry if you get caught in a downpour. It also has handy snap-fastening pockets to store your phone and keys.
Marc Jacobs' AW18 runway was full of retro metallic accents, and this raincoat takes it one step further. It's made from lightweight vinyl and detailed with epaulettes, a storm flap and buckled cuffs. Wear yours over a cream knit on rainy days.
