Waterproof Oversized Longline Parka Coat
Every woman needs a trusty waterproof parka in their wardrobe, and M&S' oversized coat is practical with style in spades. We love the longline design with a hooded neck and drawstring waist. Thanks to the brand's signature Stormwear™ Ultra technology, it'll keep you dry during any unexpected showers.
Fluid Rainwear Cambrai Coat
There’s no denying that butter yellow is a key shade for the year ahead. Tap into the trend with Joseph’s gorgeous double-breasted trench coat. This belted style has been treated with a water-resistant coating and features a classic storm flap.
Cape
A waterproof cape is always a saviour during the transitional months when you want an extra layer to protect you from rain without being too hot. Perfect for running errands, we love the relaxed design of this number from Rains, which comes in four colours.
Stormwear™ Hooded Puffer Coat
Another gem from M&S, this hooded puffer coat will see you through the winter and into spring. Shower-resistant with an adjustable hood and fitted with thumbholes, it'll keep the elements out.

Belted Raincoat
Rains is a Danish brand committed to keep you dry throughout the seasons, so you know it’s well worth the investment. The label’s interpretation of the belted trench coat is a chic, waterproof classic.
Stormwear™ Ultra Waterproof Hooded Parka
M&S’ activewear range Goodmove continues to deliver on sporty classics that perform both technically but also have a directional twist. The drawstring toggle waist is great for cinching in your figure, and the waterproof zips ensure all your belongings stay safe.

Sweaty Betty is known for being one of the go-to brands when it comes to high-quality outdoor jackets — and this waterproof coat is no different. The Motion style has a long-line shape, detachable hood and adjustable toggled waist.
Agnes Coat
Meriweather’s tailored coat might look like a classic cotton trench on first glance, but this number was actually designed with rainy days in mind. All the brand’s outerwear is technically constructed to survive all weathers, with taped seams and water-repellent finishes. The best part? This Agnes jacket has internal carry straps – perfect for those intermittent sunny spells.
