Water-Repellent Jacket

Great for warmer climates!

Consider investing in a water-repellent coat, especially if you live in a warmer climate.

Water-repellent coats come in a variety of shapes, but one of my very favorites is this single-breasted trench coat. You get the benefit of a classic trench shape combined with protection against the elements, and people living in warmer climates can wear this all year round!

Who It Suits: Busty types, athletic shapes, pear
