Fashionable Raincoats
We were amazed when we found out that the raincoat has been around for about 170 years. You've heard raincoats referred to as Mackintoshes haven't you? Well, they're named after the inventor, Charles Macintosh. As with any fashion style the style of women's rain coats will change with the season. Of course it's a way for designers to sell more product but it's also expected by consumers that they will see new styles. Some seasons you'll see shorter raincoats offered, some seasons longer raincoats will be offered. What style of women's raincoats is the most popular raincoat style? The most popular women's rain coat style of all time is definitely the trench coat. The best thing about a women's rain coat in the trench style is that it looks good on everybody. With detailing at the shoulders referred to as epaulettes, and a belted waist, they create an illusion of curves. We have seen some designers offer an empire belted trench coat. While this style will look good on some it will make others look plain fat. We suggest you avoid it. What do you look for when you're shopping for a women's rain coat?

Some women prefer a rain poncho that easily slips over her head for protection from the rain.
