9 Stylish Raincoats To Keep You Chic & Dry On Rainy Days
Don't let the inclement weather dampen your style
By Ho Guo Xiong and Michelle Lee -
A good raincoat is a must-have in Singapore given our tropical climate. One minute you can be basking in the sunshine while the next you’ll be dashing from a downpour that came out of nowhere. With this temperamental weather, it pays to be prepared. Apart from an umbrella (which doesn’t always hold up so well in the wind), a raincoat is the best way to go.
While technical wear has previously been accused of being frumpy, dull and reserved for outdoorsy types, designers today are coming up with a whole host of flattering silhouettes, colourful designs and comfortable fits. Here are the stylish raincoats you can add to your daily wardrobe.
Available in navy or khaki green, the sleek Rains jacket is built with a hood and concealed snap fastening through the front.
Weather the storm while looking posh with this quilted polyblend design, which also adds to its insulation for colder climates.
This parka's UV Protection (UPF50+) and range of colours feature chalks up points, but keep in mind that it's water-repellent and not water-proof. It's best for a short walk through light rain, but not ideal for heavy storms or longer strolls. The finish is also not permanent.

Lululemon’s thoughtful design ethos extends to the zippered pockets that hides a hidden sleeve to keep your phone safe and dry, as well as a waterproof Glyde fabric that is lined with a soft, sweat-wicking fabric. It's also available in black.
Timeless style meets practicality with this classic trench coat crafted with water-repellent properties — elegant, versatile, and perfect for rainy days.
