    Summer Raincoat Recommendation

    Hi, I was wondering if anyone could provide some suggestions for a summer raincoat. My only requirements are that it keeps me dry, has a hood, andisn't heavy. Needless to say, it should look good and be versatile (and yet I said it...hehe). Thanks, please do let me know =)

      That looks nice - is that the waxed-cotton one?

            Opening Ceremony has a couple neat looking ones, haven't tried them on though. Also don't know if they're actually water resistant

              That's a tough one, unmetro - when thinking of cutting edge, raincoats don't exactly come to min... although maybe they should!



              Margiela definitely does raincoats now and then - maybe a nice trench from him would do the trick?

                Thank you everyone for your suggestions, I'll keep an eye out and stop by OC to see their stock. I may just have to settle for an Umbrella...hehe

                  Costume National has some on Yoox right now in Poly/linen/cotton an variations of those materials. Not sure how well they will waterproof you in heavy rain, but they look pretty slick:

                    anything NOT in black or white? i feel that i have too much black and white's too easy to get dirty and looks slightly girly on me...

                            Uniqlo and Alexander Plokhov came to my rescue, one piecefrom the collection was a (REALLY) thin polyester hooded zip-up jacket...pretty swank in blackand only $50...so I bought two...hehe....not exactly waterproof, but should keep me dry long enough to find cover(or at least a 3$ umbrella off the street).




                            I'll try to post pics later...I also boughtthevestwhich is classic cloak....




                            Wish I knew about the Barney's sale that day tho...hehe
