Raining Much. The Raincoat Hunt

The most popular client request in the last few weeks is none other than the humble raincoat.

How do you stay dry and not look like you borrowed your partners oversized ill fitting coat? On top of this you need to avoid the unlimited "fashion rain coats"  in stores that offer next to no protection from the rain. After extensive research for my clients I wanted to share with you the best raincoats available right now.

Rains Brand - Available at Area 51

The Rains brand from Denmark has taken cornered the market with what is surely the best quality, best technically and at a great price point of around $160 - $220. Great stores like Area 51, Sisters at the Mount, Father Rabbit , and Black Box Boutique in Grey Lynn offer this range. Totally Water Proof easy wearable style. Try Navy to get away from the Solid black.

Lulu Lemon - Definitely Raining Jacket $249

For a great lined Rain Jacket, try Lulu Lemon's Definitely Raining Jacket. Will provide a little more warmth, perfect over active wear but still smart enough to wear for multiple uses.

Okewa Rainwear - Birmingham Trench - $795

Keep it local with this amazing New Zealand company Okewa Rainwear. This gorgeous Trench works well for casual and smart. $795. www.okewarainwear.com

Stutterheim Bright Yellow Raincoat

Stutterheim Coat 

For the ultimate raincoat an all levels you may need to go to Sweden. This company has designed the perfect raincoat and offers great colour options. Priced from $250 to $375 USD you will have to order overseas for the different styles or try www.eightpaws.co.nz. Yes because people with dogs need  great raincoats.

Enjoy the rain!!
