A good raincoat is a must-have in Singapore given our tropical climate. One minute you can be basking in the sunshine while the next you’ll be dashing from a downpour. With this temperamental weather, it pays to always be prepared. Besides an umbrella (which doesn’t always hold up so well in the wind), a raincoat is the best way to go.

While technical wear has previously been accused of being frumpy, dull and reserved for outdoorsy types, designers today are coming up with a whole host of flattering silhouettes, colourful designs and comfortable fits. In fact, a little shower can actually help enhance an outfit if you bring some chic yet functional rain gear into rotation. Here are eight stylish raincoats you can add to your daily wardrobe.
