I didn’t make it to NYFW this year, and I had major FOMO. (Disclaimer: if you’re unaware of those 2 acronyms, you may find this post boring.) So, here’s the rundown: 2 times a year, fashion designers (both emerging and established) debut their spring and fall collections in fashion shows or “presentations” across 4 cities: New York, London, Milan, and Paris (in that order). Every year, the number of designers grow, the shows get longer, and the cinematic displays are beyond any Super Bowl halftime show you’ve ever seen.
Fashion is changing all. the. time.
Keeping track of all the trends is overwhelming! However, one of the things I love most about my job is taking my favorite looks from the runway and translating them into my own.
Guess what? Raincoats are BACK! Well, were they ever really gone? (Definitely not in Seattle.)
Jasmin N says
I would absolutely love yellow rain coat! I don’t even know why, I used to hate yellow. 😀 you look absolutely stunning!
Whitney Kutch says
Thank you!!! It looks so good with almost any other color!!
Helene says
Love your raincoat! Fantastic color, so fresh for Spring! I would love a pink or a light purple as well!
Whitney Kutch says
Yes and pastels are in style!!!
Stephanie says
Even growing up on the Gulf Coast of Florida, I have never owned a raincoat. With how much it rains here, though, I should probably invest in one, especially something cute like this!
Whitney Kutch says
Sometime it works better than an umbrella because your clothes will remain dry still.
Karoliina Kazi says
There’s something about yellow raincoats – that’s always the colour I reach for when looking at raincoats! I love yours and happy to hear they are a wardrobe staple!
Whitney Kutch says
Thank you so much!!!
Amanda says
I so needed this post as someone who lives in Portland!
Whitney Kutch says
Does it rain a lot there? If so, then yes you could def use this!!
GiGi Eats says

Kanishka Acharya says
Growing up I hated raincoats but now that i see such a trendy and cool raincoat makes me want to get my hands on some!
Kari says
I have one that I absolutely love right now called “Parka in a Pocket”. I folds into the pocket for easy storage and then unfolds when you need quick protection from the rain. I’m so glad it’s a trend! Lol.
Watchmeblather says
Thanks to good ol’ British weather I pretty much live in raincoats and own one pretty similar to that in a khaki/olive colour lol
Whitney Kutch says
Ohhhh I bet that is really pretty!!!
Beth says
Yay! I love when practical items are on trend. 🙂
Elise Ho says
I love how you created the outfit with the yellow raincoat. I am more of a muted color person.
Whitney Kutch says
Thank you!! It really goes great with any color underneath and the options are endless!!!
Rose says
Well the fur and wool stay inside to avoid those issues but, I would love to update with a bright raincoat!
Whitney Kutch says
Oh for sure!!! I hate it when it is not supposed to rain and you get caught… ugh!! You would look great in bright colors!!
Allison Mattina says
It definitely can be exhausting keeping up with all the trends these days! However, I’m all about the rain coat look. It’s adorable!
Whitney Kutch says
There are so many colors that work this year!! Brights and pastel both are in style!!
Angie says
That yellow jacket is so bright and cheery-I love it!
Whitney Kutch says
I was thinking the same thing when I bought it! I just had to have it when it gave me a happy bright feeling!!
Holly Lasha says
Love this idea…very cute!
Patranila says
I was just thinking to myself the other day that I need to get my springtime coat game together. I haven’t bought a new coat in years. I love the yellow.
Whitney Kutch says
It is such the style this year and there are so many colors!!! You would look great in yellow with your dark hair!!

I never would have thought that rain coats would become a fashion trend. All of these different styles and patterns look so amazing.

I never would have thought that this would be a trend, but I really shouldn’t be surprised. Definitely handy for a wet spring!

Yes!! Sometimes my hands are too full to carry an umbrella so this works out great!!!
