” I love the crinkled rubber and high tech water resistant fabric and color combo of my Helene raincoat. Big pockets are a must for phone and keys when I am out for a quick dog walk.” – Sheila Bridges, interior designer

“This Sutterheim jacket hits home with the perfect classic look. I love the sturdy material with the subtle a-line flare. I’ve got spring and summer on the brain, so the pale pink color seals the deal.” -Neely Burch, co-founder of Neely and Chloe

“As an avid fan of Alex Mill’s intersection of style and function–this workwear-inspired jacket in a saturated khaki is my go-to. With a nylon hood in case-of-rain, this jacket can also function equally as well for a fall day, collar down, with a simple tee. I wear this all too often.” – Jeremy Clark, interior designer

“Wearable, functional sculpture is how I view this jacket, in addition to most everything by Sacai. I love the dynamic and exaggerated lines found throughout the collection, and I particularly enjoy how easy it is to wear this coat with formal or casual outfits. As most designers can attest to, when we’re not in meetings with clients and totally coiffed, we’re doing a lot more moving and schlepping than it appears, and we need attire that suits both aspects of our job.” – Jean Liu, interior designer
Wrap Around Coat by Sacai, $2,697. farfetch.com.

“I love this modern trench coat/anorak hybrid. It would be equally chic with jeans or workout clothes as it would with a pair of trousers and a blouse. The deep caramel yellow makes it fresh and different. Anything Isabel Marant is a winner in my closet!” – Katie Rosenfeld, interior designer

“The Stockholm Green raincoat from Stutterheim is a classic. Dark green is a staple in my wardrobe so this coat was a no-brainer. I pair it with anything during a downpour and feel chic (and exceptionally dry!). It’s rubberized cotton is so durable and 100% rainproof. It will likely be a permanent fixture in my coat closet.” – Chauncey Boothby, interior designer
