How to Stay Stylish During Summer Showers with Our Jackets

Summer weather can be tricky. One minute the sun is shining, the next comes a sudden downpour. But getting soaked doesn't mean having to look messy or give up on style. 

The secret is choosing the right clothes that work hard at keeping dry and looking good on warm days. At Welligogs, we believe style should never be compromised by the weather and have crafted pieces that prove protection can be fashionable.

Why Summer Rain Calls for Smart Choices

Heavy winter coats are too hot for summer showers. At the same time, a regular cotton jacket will just soak through and leave anyone damp and uncomfortable. What's needed is something lighter that is breathable. 

The best summer rain gear protects from water while letting air flow through. This prevents feeling sticky and overheated when the sun comes back out. 

Here are a few options that do the job well:

1. The Downtown Mac Jacket: Perfect for Unexpected Showers

The Downtown Mac Jacket is built for unexpected rain, with a water-repellent finish and thoughtful design details. Its deep chocolate brown colour works with a wide range of outfits, and the oversized cut layers easily over dresses or lightweight knits. Structured shoulders and contrast panels give it a refined, put-together look suitable for both work and casual wear.

Key Features:

• One-size oversized design that drapes elegantly
• Lightweight dry wax coating that repels water
• Double-breasted front with attached hood
• Two deep pockets for essentials

Styling Tips for Rainy Summer Days

When wearing either jacket, balance is key to looking polished in wet weather:

Essential Accessory Tips:

• Waterproof boots
• A lightweight scarf for colour and neck warmth
• An umbrella for an extra layer of dryness (tag our poppy collapsible umbrella)
• Minimal jewellery that won't get damaged by rain

Layering Basics:

• Choose breathable fabrics underneath to prevent overheating
• Stick to lighter colours to balance the darker jacket tones
• Keep layers thin to maintain the jacket's flattering silhouette
