Right as Rain

From left to right, J. Crew blush pink rain jacket, Helly Hansen’s W Aden long jacket and Joules’s Right as Rain Waterproof Hooded Jacket.

LATE-SPRING days soaked with heavy downpours have caused one of our fashion-savvy colleagues to send out an SOS. “Help, we need an ark!” Alternatively, how about some good-looking, lightweight raincoats and jackets?

We heard the call and rallied to the rescue with nine ways for taking cover from raindrops falling on our heads. No Noah needed.
