Weather Resistant Gear: Rain, Rain, Go Away...

Changing temps got you flustered? Help is on the way. Come rain or shine, we have the perfect fall gear to get you through the fickle weather. Before you swap your sleeveless tops for sweatshirts, check out our guide to weather resistant gear  for hacks on what to wear when it's rainy but still warm.

When the weather goes through more changes than a celeb's wardrobe, here’s what to wear:

Water Resistant Jacket  

One thing your fall wardrobe desperately needs? A trusty lightweight raincoat (or hooded jacket). These comfy outerwear pieces keep you nice and dry without overheating –the perfect picks for fall. What weather resistant fabrics should you look for? Polyester's great for water resistance. We have plenty of poly jackets, coats and parkas you'll love.  

Style hack: for an easy athleisure vibe, go for a practical water resistant jacket or a classic trench. Wear with hiking pants and sneaks to finish the look.

Weather Resistant Hat 

Need something that works just as hard in the rain and sun? Well, hey there bucket hat ... What would we do without you? We love a good water resistant bucket hat: it shields us from rain while still giving excellent sun protection. More into beanie hats? From thick and wooly to lightweight water resistant nylon, chuck a hat on for rain, and stash in your bag when the sun's out. It's a breeze.  

Chilly out there? Go for a matching hat and scarf look: extra style points.

Windbreaker  

Need windy weather outfit inspo? It’s a breeze when you have the right gear. Windbreakers give great weather protection but are still breathable. No more sweaty commute in heavy jackets – we have just the right feels all figured out.

Make it sporty: try a zipped pick with printed leggings and a tee. Going dressy-casj? A faux fur-trimmed hooded coat is your new fall best friend.

Wind Resistant Sweatshirt

Fall style doesn't always mean outerwear. Sometimes all we need to keep us warm is a comfy sweater. There are so many styles out there… it’s really up to you whether you go for a hoodie or a zip version. But what fall fabrics should you look for in a windbreaker? Fleece gives great protection – plus it's comfy, soft and warm. So get yourself a fleece zip-up, hoodie or windbreaker.

Want to glam up your hiking gear? Style your fleece with matching joggers and go oversized with a baggy puffer windbreaker.

The Best Fall Clothes – For When It’s Hot, Then Not... 

We’ve all been there. We wake up all cozy in the fall rays... Then go out and freeze. Sure we could stay glued to weather apps, changing looks all day. But we have a better idea…

 For clothes that won’t let you down this fall, here are our absolute must-haves:

Padded Vest

This body warmer's probably our top fall pick. Keeping us warm where it really matters, it gives us the freedom to have our arms out. The perfect early fall piece, right? When it comes to sleeveless jackets, we have tons to pick from. But our absolute fall fave is the quilted vest. It’s super comfy and keeps us extra warm. What’s not to love?

Plus, puffer vests are the ultimate layering piece, and we all know that fall is ALL about layering. Style yours with a long sleeve tee, wear it over a bodycon dress or give it a 90's vibe with low-rise pants, a crop top and gold hoop earrings.

Cargo Pants

When we think of body warmers, we always reach for jackets, hoodies and zip-ups. No shade on these important fall essentials, but there’s one piece we shouldn’t forget: cargo pants. Whether you’re into combat pants or slim cargos, these fall must-haves have tons of handy pockets for hiking, going to the park or just doin' your thing around town.

Style your weather resistant cargos with crop tops and platform sneaks for a sporty-chic vibe. Or go full-on hiking mode with a hoodie and windbreaker.
