If Charli XCX's look for the Sundance Film Festival premiere of The Gallerist has taught us anything, it's that rain gear should be fashion-forward too. The pop-star arrived in a rain poncho complete with a hood and doily lace trim from Simon Carle's Spring/Summer 2024 collection, offering an elevated take on an otherwise purely functional garment—and the internet was divided, likely because I'm not sure that it was even actually raining.

With Spring and warmer weather thankfully on the horizon, so is the rainiest season of the year—April showers bring May flowers, as they say. So, how do we combat the rain without sacrificing personal style? We select pieces that incorporate patterns, colors, and interesting fits and shapes. Pieces that make a statement and will perfectly contrast with our spring wardrobes. Think leopard-print umbrellas, fully transparent rain boots, and metallic rain coats.

Ahead, find 18 rain accessories that perfectly blend fashion and functionality.

Jackets & Coats:

Loeffler Randall Kat Rain Coat

Rain coats can be statement coats, too—and, arguably, they should be. With this perfect green gingham Loeffler Randall raincoat, you'll spread joy on the dreariest of days and in the most spring-appropriate, picnic-inspired way possible.

Barbour + GANNI Hooded Ruffled Leopard-Printed Shell Parka

This is essentially maximalist in the form of a rain coat. We mostly appreciate the pattern clashing going on with Barbour x GANNI raincoat: the leopard print based paired with the plaid, ruffled collar shouldn't work—but it really, really works.

Umbrellas:

Moschino Polka Dot Compact Umbrella

I think umbrellas are the perfect opportunity to play with patterns and colors. I'm always intrigued by cool girls who already dressed in cool outfits that also carry cool umbrellas. I would even argue that your umbrella reveals a lot of your personality and personal style. Some might have considered polka dots a temporary, fleeting trend, but I believe this wholeheartedly: they will never, ever go out of style.
