During the first days of winter, the weather is usually dominated by something that many hate: rain. The water that is so bothersome makes getting dressed a much more complicated task and hitting the right look almost becomes an impossible mission. For this, it’s convenient to have good allies such as rain boots or a parka.

Because yes, not every type of jacket or coat is suitable for rainy days. The best is to acquire a model that isn’t too warm —remember that when it rains temperatures are a bit higher— and that protects you from the water. And this doesn’t imply stopping to look elegant and stylish, and these models that we have found are the best proof of it.

This high-neck parka with removable hood is from Zara. It features adjustable long sleeves with tabs and a button, pockets with flaps and a button at the front, and a hem with an asymmetrical design that is very flattering. Price: 79.95 euros.
