The game changer: A raincoat

Pragmatists rejoice, the raincoat is back. You heard us: this season’s most in-demand outerwear is none other than the humble anorak. But while these classic coats retain all the practical benefits of their forebears, they’ve been seriously souped up for SS18. Virtually every major designer had a go, from Christopher Kane who championed embellished buttons and floral prints, to Isabel Marant who played up the anorak’s athleisure appeal. But purists should look no further than Calvin Klein’s minimalist interpretation, cut from of-the-moment pastel PVC. With so many options on offer, don’t be surprised if you find yourself praying for rain.
