Rain, Rain, Go Away!

Rainy days are here, which means that summer must be just around the corner. We are so happy to see you April showers! The weather this week has been promising and even though I have said it a few times now, only to be disappointed by nor’easters and snow storms, I think spring is finally here. In anticipation of the rain that’s to come, I have brought out my favorite rain jackets to take the place of my winter coats.  

The jacket that I find myself constantly reaching for during the spring and summer months is my Joules Coast Print Jacket.  My favorite part of this jacket is that it has the ability to withstand the ever changing trends and remain classic. The thick bold black stripes are timeless and add such a fun aspect to a rain jacket.  The material is slightly thicker than the average rain jacket due to the cotton liner that helps keep you warm during those chilly spring and summer days, which is one of my favorite pieces to this jacket ( I always find that I’m a bit cold). The liner is typically a different print than the jacket itself and adds even more character. The pattern usually is a floral or stripe depending on the style. The weight of the fabric also makes this jacket the perfect for a weekend getaway or weeklong vacation because it is wrinkle free! The ease of knowing you can just throw it on and go while your away is such a relief when you’re trying to get out the door.

Outfit Details: Joules Coast Jacket (a few sizes left, similar below), White Top, Black Denim, Keds

Today, I paired this jacket with a white top, black denim and classic white Keds to keep my look casual and comfortable. The striped pattern also lends itself to other outfits and is surprisingly easy to style for work as well. This has been my go-to rain jacket for a few years, which speaks to its quality. Unfortunately, they no longer have my size in stock, but Joules has the same style jacket in other timeless colors such as red, yellow and navy. They have a similar Coast Jacket with a navy stripe which the most similar to my own.
