It's officially spring and almost Easter, which suggests we should be frolicking in sun-licked meadows with friends. Of course, the weather has other plans. Rain is predicted across the country for at least half of the next week, which is never exactly a welcome prospect – particularly when, as of March 29, we are actually allowed to socialise outside.
But this doesn't need to mean a washout for your wardrobe because when life gives you lemons, why not follow that old adage and make the sartorial equivalent of lemonade ? Raincoats are not known for their style prowess. In fact, one may evoke distant memories of school trips to historic sites, a Pac-A-Mac worn over your uniform as you stand in the rain half-listening to a story about Oliver Cromwell as you slowly develop Trench Foot. I'm not bitter but what I do regret is the limited array of waterproof coats that were on offer during my childhood. Now, however, I'm making up for lost time.
A waterproof no longer means drab. Or boring. Instead, brands have actually started to marry function with form, resulting in a whole new breed of excellent rain-resistant cover-ups. So whatever you're wearing with yours - blossom-printed sundress, jeans, thermals - you can rest assured that your rain coat is about as far from that Pac-A-Mac as humanly possible. Style forecast: cheerier than expected.
