25 Raincoats to Weather the Storm in Style

There's no need for an umbrella with one of these chic coats.

A raincoat is something you don't think you need...until you actually need it. Specially designed to handle wind and water better than your typical trench or puffer, it's what you want to be wearing when bad weather strikes.

In the past, raincoats were not available in many colors. You couldn't make a fashion statement, because they were all pretty boring. Now, there are so many colorful options and patterns.

Not all raincoats are created equally, though. Some are preferable for mild temps with minimal features, while others are made to withstand the worst conditions with all the bells and whistles. Whatever you're looking for, you'll find it here on this list of the best raincoats for women.
