Stay stylish and dry with my pick of the most colourful rain jackets, perfect for adding a pop of colour to the gloomiest days!
It’s that time of year again. Each night I look at the weather forecast for the next day, and every single day there’s at least one hour of rain due. The summer feels long gone.
The only thing that I got a little excited about was the opportunity to wear my new rain jacket! As you’ll know if you follow this blog, I’m a big fan of bright colours. While fashion often leans toward beige, neutrals, black, and white, my wardrobe is bursting with greens, blues, and reds!
My latest rain jacket is a rubberised turquoise number, with a fun striped lining. I love it! It’s vibrant and fun, guaranteed to brighten up a dreary autumn day. It’s perfect for travelling this autumn and winter too, whether that’s around the UK or internationally.
The joy this jacket has given me prompted me to look at what else was available right now. If you’re searching for bright and colourful rain jackets, I’ve got a range of options for you.
It’s time to shed the embarrassment of wearing an anorak or a plastic mac. Just because they’re waterproof, doesn’t mean they have to be unfashionable!
Whether you fancy something in one vibrant colour, or you’re looking for a bold pattern or design, you’ll find something you like on this list. These span a range of budgets too, from bargain supermarket finds to premium brands.
10 Fun and Colourful Rain Jackets
Regatta Floral Waterproof Jacket
This jacket, made by top-quality jacket brand Regatta, is one of my favourites! It’s made from waterproof and breathable Isotex, has adjustable cuffs and two front pockets.
Best of all though? The pattern. The cute floral design is really eye-catching and will brighten up the dreariest of days. If you’re looking for stylish waterproof jackets – this could be the perfect option for you!
Colourful rain jacket with striped lining
This is the closest jacket I’ve found to my turquoise coat! I love that this design comes in so many different colours, including yellow, red, pink, green and blue. They all have striped hoods (just like mine!) and two large pockets. It’s a really thick waterproof material, so it’s a great option for wet days. This one is under £30 right now too – a great price for an essential item.
Regatta Sarika Hooded Funnel Neck Raincoat
This bright coloured rain jacket has a lovely swing style to it. It comes in this fun coral pink, navy and a really gorgeous bright blue too. I like that you can customise the shape with its drawstrings and turn-back sleeves. This jacket is on the larger side, so I’d recommend sizing down when you order.
Orla Kiely Swing Waterproof
When I started researching my guide to the most stylish rain jackets for women, I came across this amazing Orla Kiely coat. I was in love! Isn’t it gorgeous? I love the bold flower print – hello flower power! The long shape and large pockets make it very flattering too. It’s light and breathable, so I think it would be great when you still want to wear a warm jumper underneath.
How cute is this Orla Kiely raincoat?
Gelert Womens Coast Waterproof Jacket
Here’s another stylish rain jacket for women. It’s lightweight, waterproof, has a high neck and drawstring hood to keep rain out. The colour options are really chic too. The sage green is just stunning, but there’s also bright red, yellow, beige and black. See what takes your fancy! For under £35, this is an absolute steal!
Rains Unisex waterproof Jacket
Rains is a very cool outerwear brand, so you’d expect their rain jackets to be some of the most on trend available right now. This stylish waterproof jacket is unisex and comes in a very cool design. I like the abstract print, and while it’s not one of the brightest raincoats on my list, it’s definitely one of the coolest!
Orla Kiely Turquoise Floral Waterproof
As you’ve already heard, I’m a huge fan of the bold and fun prints by Orla Kiely. This cute turquoise jacket features birds and flowers and has a tasteful khaki lining. I really like the style, with its curved hem at the back. While it’s a little more expensive than some on my list, it still sits under £100, which is great for a long-lasting item like this.
New Look pastel pink colourful raincoat
We’re back to the high street again with this cute pastel pink rain jacket from New Look. At under £40, this is one of the top reviewed rain jackets this season. This raincoat is water resistant, so it might not protect in the most torrential of downpours, but it’ll give you great protection on lighter days.
Gelert Long waterproof Jacket in bold print
Here’s another fun and stylish patterned rain jacket for the list! This Gelert jacket will allow you to stay dry in style. Unlike many on this list, this waterproof jacket has a longer length, so it offers a lot more protection. If you’re not a fan of this print, it comes in a vibrant navy, red and pink floral design too.
Trespass Flourish Raincoat In Ice Blue
I had to include this in my round up of colourful rain jackets as I just adore the icy shade of blue. I haven’t come across any others in this gorgeous shade. Wouldn’t it fit well with a cool, crisp day?! It comes with a lovely striped hood, and the material is breathable and lightweight too. If you fancy it in a different shade, it also comes in blue, black, yellow and red.
Free People Iridescent Rain Jacket
My final pick of the most stylish waterproof jackets around is this super cool option from Free People. It’s made from an iridescent fabric which changes from purple, to pink, to blue in the light. It’s got a really lovely fit, and it packs down nice and small for travelling too. This one comes with a higher price tag, but sometimes you have to pay a little more to look this cool!
I hope you’ve enjoyed reading my guide to the best colourful rain jackets around this season. It’s a shame we can’t change the weather, but with one of these, at least we’ll feel stylish and stay protected!
