I adore the quote “April showers bring May flowers” but actually stepping out into the rain isn’t quite my favorite. Damp, soggy, and wet is not my idea of fashionable. That’s why I’m sharing a guide to how to wear a raincoat — a spring fashion staple you absolutely need in your closet.

Although most of us don’t associate rainy day outfits with our chicest looks, rainwear does not have to be drab. Nowadays, you can find cute raincoats in pastels, florals, and stripes. No need to worry about looking like a fisherman when you find a cute coat and know how to properly style it!

When it comes to rainy day styles, I adore Blair Eadie’s style from Atlantic Pacific. She proves a pop of color is always a good idea, especially with rainy day attire. One of my favorite pieces she styles is a pastel pink raincoat. It’s feminine, chic and brings light to a grey day. Even if all you’re doing in taking a quick walk, this bright coat is a must.

Since you’ll most likely be coming back home after being in the rain, this casual way to wear a raincoat is great for working from home as well. A cozy striped top and stretchy denim overalls are perfect for a productive day. And when the indoors are becoming too much, slip on these converse, your raincoat, and grab your matching umbrella for some fresh air!
