Adding a little flair to your rainwear doesn’t mean dressing like Paddington Bear (fashion icon though he may be). Pull the drawstring tight to create dramatic ruffles at the scalloped-lace hemline, or wear the satin-lined coat uncinched for a more casual look—either way, this is our favorite take on Seattle formal.

See-through vinyl solves every wet-weather style dilemma, whether you despise the thought of hiding your carefully planned outfit under a layer of Gore-tex or you want your jacket to make the fashion statement for you. Note that Domdrich is based in Odessa—support a Ukrainian business, but expect shipping delays.

Maybe the underprepared tourists who buy single-use ponchos to protect themselves from early summer rain are onto something—at least in the silhouette department. Designer prints make Amsterdam-based Rainkiss’s recycled-polyester version infinitely more fashionable (and it won’t wind up in a landfill once the rain subsides).
