The idea

Spring rain is milder than winter rain, and the outfit should reflect that — waterproof, but still light.

A well-cut mac does the protective work that heavier winter coats aren't needed for yet, while the rest of the outfit can stay in spring's lighter fabrics underneath.

The capsule

  • 1

    A trench or mac in a water-resistant fabric

    Does the protective work without the bulk of a winter coat.

  • 2

    Spring-weight layers underneath

    The rain is the only reason for the outer layer — everything below can stay light.

  • 3

    A water-resistant boot or shoe

    Suede struggles in spring showers; leather or rubber holds up better.

  • 4

    A small, structured umbrella

    Considered enough to not clash with the rest of the outfit.

  • 5

    One bright accent

    A rainy spring day is exactly when a considered colour lifts the whole look.

Styling notes

Let the mac be the only heavy piece in the outfit — everything underneath can stay in the season's lighter fabrics, since the coat is doing all the weatherproofing. A brighter accent, whether the coat itself or a bag, keeps a rainy day from reading as dreary rather than simply practical.

Questions

What coat is best for spring rain?

+

A trench or mac in a water-resistant fabric protects well without the bulk of a winter coat, which suits the milder temperatures of spring rain.

What shoes hold up in spring showers?

+

Leather or rubber-soled shoes and boots handle puddles far better than suede, which stains and stiffens when it gets wet.

How do I keep a rainy-day outfit from looking dull?

+

Add one bright or considered accent — a coloured mac, a bold umbrella, or a bag in a warm tone — rather than defaulting to all grey or black.

Dress with ease, every day.

Free to try. Ready in a moment.
