Spring Showers Have Started, so Here Are the Best Waterproof Jackets for Men
Well water-resistant, at least
Contrary to what the wonderful Gene Kelly would have you believe, nobody is Singin' In The Rain. Not then, not now, not ever. But just because the weather is miserable, it doesn't mean your outerwear should follow suit.
Instead, consider a mood-boosting raincoat that whisks you back to your primary years, when puddles were less land mines, more an ocean to be explored. Fun, bold and practical is back on the style agenda thanks to the likes of And Wander, Arc’teryx and AlphaTauri.
Keen to keep dry and sharp this season? Silly question. Keep scrolling to discover the best men’s rain jackets for autumn and beyond.
