From H&M to Burberry, These Are the Best Raincoats Money Can Buy

I've been caught in an NYC storm without a proper raincoat or an umbrella too many times, and I'll never be making that mistake again. As much as I wish I could stay home every time there's a rainy day, my schedule says otherwise. I've learned my lesson. Whether it's a slight drizzle in the spring or a cold, rainy night in the winter, it's important to have a reliable raincoat in your closet. I've finally completed my search for the right raincoat, and I'm sharing the recommendations with you. 

Although it's an essential item, I found that there weren't a ton of stylish options available for a quick search. After doing a deep dive, I rounded up 10 of the best to shop in different categories and price points. You'll find the perfect lightweight trenchcoat to wear to work or the heavy-duty jacket to pack on that outdoor weekend trip. Keep scrolling to find your pick of my favorite raincoats on the market.

After interning at Who What Wear in 2019, she found her way to the team after graduating from LIM College in 2022 with a fashion media degree. She's also spent time writing and working for publications such as Fashionista, Coveteur, and Nylon, but she always knew that Who What Wear was where she was meant to be. When she's on the job, she's perusing runway shows, analyzing the latest thing fellow Gen Zers are up to on the internet, and sharing what she can about the modest-fashion market. You can also catch her dabbling in entertainment, talking about the costume choices of the latest Netflix series or diving deeper into how the plotline affects the viewers in a myriad of ways. Lastly, she likes to create content for Who What Wear's TikTok. Her personal time is spent doing similar but also different things—deep diving into almost every new TV show (Bridgerton, Gilmore Girls, and Stranger Things are favorites), planning her next local getaway (whenever that may be), and reading the latest Emily Henry or Sally Rooney novel in one sitting.
