Weather Resistant Clothing - Rain, Rain Go Away

Seasonal temperature changes got you feeling all…hot and bothered? Fret not, for come rain… or shine, we’ve got the perfect autumn clothing to see you through this season’s temperature swings. But before you swap that sleeveless shirt for a sweatshirt, take a peek at our guide to weather resistant clothing for tips and tricks on what to wear when its warm but rainy.

So, for when the weather goes through more changes than a celebrity’s wardrobe, here’s what to wear:

Water Resistant Jacket  

If there’s one item your autumn wardrobe desperately needs, it’s a trusty lightweight raincoat or hooded jacket. These comfy outerwear options keep you nice and dry without overheating you – making them the perfect choice for autumn. But what weather resistant materials should you be looking out for? Polyester is a great water resistant fabric, and we have plenty of polyester jackets, coats and parkas you can pick from.  

Style tip: for an effortless athleisure look go for a practical water resistant jacket or a classic mac trench coat and pair with trekking trousers and trainers to complete the look.

Weather Resistant Hat 

Need a clothing item that works just as hard in the rain as it does in the sun? Well, hello there bucket hat - our trusty can’t-live-without accessory! We love a good water resistant bucket hat because it shields us from the rain whilst also offering excellent protection from the sun. More into beanie hats? From thick woollen numbers to lightweight nylon water resistant beanies, a hat can easily be popped on come rain, and swiftly taken off and easily stored in your tote come shine. Easy-peasy!  

On the chilly side? Go for a matching hat and scarf look to get extra style points.

Wind Resistant Clothing - Keep Out the Breeze with Ease

Is the brrr-eeze making you feel all chilly? Keep the wind at bay with our range of wind resistant hoodies, jackets and zip-ups!

Ready to brave the wind, storm or whatever this autumn season has in store for us? Here’s our top windy weather essentials:

Windbreaker Jacket  

Need windy weather outfit inspo? It’s a breeze when you’re all suited and booted in the right gear. Wind jackets offer max protection from the elements whilst still being extra breathable. No more sweatin’ on the tube or bus in our heavy jackets – from now on we’re ridin’ the optimal temperature wave and no one’s going to stop us!

For a sporty look, go for a zip-up jacket and pair with printed leggings and a crew neck t-shirt. Going smart-casual? A fur trimmed hooded coat will be your new autumn best friend!

Wind Resistant Sweater

Autumn styles don’t always call for outerwear. Sometimes, all we need to keep us warm is a comfy sweater! And with plenty of styles to choose from… it’s really up to us whether we want to go for a hoodie or a zip-up. But what autumn fabrics should you look out for when picking your new wind breaker hoodie? Fleece lined sweaters offer the best protection: they’re comfy, soft and warm. So, get yourself a fleece zip-up, hoodie or windbreaker high collar.

Want to add some glam to your hiking gear? Style your fleece sweater with matching trackies and give it the oversized treatment by adding a baggy puffer windbreaker jacket.

The Best Autumn Clothing – For When it’s Hot, Cold, then Warm Again! 

We’ve all been there. We wake up with autumnal rays of sunshine shining through, only to find out it’s actually quite chilly outside! Sure, we could stay glued to the weather apps, changing outfits as the day goes by, but we’ve got a better solution…

 For clothing that won’t let you down this autumn, here’s our absolute must-haves:

Padded Gilet

This body warmer is probably our top autumn wardrobe item. It keeps us warm where it really matters, whilst giving us the freedom to have our arms out. It’s the perfect transitional item come end of summer, beginning of autumn! When it comes to sleeveless jackets, we get a huge range of materials to pick from - but our absolute favourite for autumn is the quilted gilet. It’s super comfy and keeps us extra warm. What’s not to love?

Plus, puffer gilets are the ultimate layering item. And we all know that autumn is ALL about layering! Style yours with a long sleeve tee, wear it over a bodycon dress or give it the 90s treatment by pairing it with low-rise trousers, a crop top and gold hoop earrings.

Cargo Trousers

When we think of body warmers, we always reach out for jackets, mens hooded jumpers and zip-ups. No shade on these very important autumn clothing essentials, but there’s one item we shouldn’t forget about: cargo trouser. Whether you’re into combat trousers or slim fit cargos, these autumn must-haves are fitted with tons of handy pockets, perfect for hiking, going to the park and why not, even strutting around town!

Style your weather resistant cargo trousers with crop tops and platform sneakers for a sporty-chic look. Alternatively, go full-on hiking mode by pairing them with a hoodie and windbreaker jacket.
