Stylish Raingear That Will Have You Hoping for Drizzly Days

In Vancouver’s precipitation-heavy fall, you have two choices: one, hide away, emerging from your preferred site of hibernation only for the occasional pumpkin-flavoured pint. Or, two, embrace the wet—ideally, with smart, water-resistant wardrobe picks that don’t compromise a drop of style for defence against torrential downpours and unpredictable drizzles alike.

Take cover with Rains’ check Boonie hat ($50), which features a wide military-inspired brim and secure chinstrap to ensure you stay dry amid strong winds and any last-minute dashes for the bus. rains.com

If you can’t beat the rain, sport it—preferably with this limited-edition umbrella ($50) by Vancouver-based Westerly Goods, which is splashed with a cool raindrop print captured by local photographer Stephen Vanasco. shop.walrushome.com

Grey camo goes swimmingly with Vancouver’s gloomy skies—especially when the pattern adorns Maharishi’s Camo Tech reversible track pants ($204), which are crafted from a durable nylon ripstop for protection against the elements. deadstock.ca

The Group by Babaton’s Lou trench coat ($198) is at once timeless and of the moment, thanks to its relaxed double-breasted fit and flashy wax-coated bronze hue. Inspector Gadget, but make it fashion. aritzia.com
