Rainy day

Raincoats, shells, parkas, wool coats and boots for wet streets and cold days.

Dressing for a rainy day means choosing weather proof layers that protect against wet streets while keeping a clean silhouette. Heavy wool coats, down parkas, and treated cotton shells keep cold water out without sacrificing structure. Navy, blue and black lead the wall, and dark cloth hides splashes from wet streets.

The raincoat goes back to the eighteen twenties, when Charles Macintosh patented a rubberised waterproof cloth in Glasgow. Baracuta made its Harrington jacket in Manchester in the thirties for golfers caught in the rain, and lined it in Fraser tartan. Canada Goose, founded in Toronto, makes down parkas for deep cold, and Guidi makes vegetable tanned horse leather boots in Tuscany.

Pair tailored wool trousers with heavy ankle boots and an oversized shell to stay dry through afternoon downpours. WDLT117 in Toronto carries coats and Guidi boots, Due West adds Canada Goose, Moose Knuckles and Baracuta, and Utopia adds Moncler and Supreme.

Common questions

What should you wear on a cold rainy day?
Start with a water resistant cotton or down coat over a fine knit and relaxed trousers. Finish the outfit with heavy leather boots that keep wet slush away from your feet.
Which fabrics work best for wet city streets?
Dense wool and tightly woven or treated cotton shed light rain, and a down coat keeps you warm under its shell. Smooth leather boots cope with wet streets better than suede.
Which designers specialize in cold rain outerwear?
Baracuta makes weather resistant cotton jackets, while Canada Goose builds down parkas designed for freezing winds. Guidi makes horse leather boots from its own Tuscan tannery.
