RAINCOATS…you’d think we Scots would have mastered them by now, right? Most of us probably have a load of old umbrellas lurking at the bottom of cupboards and in bags we don't use, but a look round the streets when it’s raining suggests some of us still haven’t invested in a light and stylish raincoat or anorak.
The recent showery weather has been a reminder of this. But a quick scan of the high street highlights there’s never been a better time to invest in some new rainwear. Indeed, it’s one of the key trends of the season and set to continue into autumn and winter.
So, whether it’s a nautically-inspired waterproof, a pack-away zip-up anorak that can be stowed in your tote or a classic trench coat, there’s bound to be something to suit your style, body shape and budget.
And with the last of the summer sales still holding on, there are some great bargains to be had. Try some of these for size.
