When it's gray and rainy, a funky raincoat is actually exactly what we need. Liven up that trade. That's what people thought Rainkiss also.

Exactly, Rainkiss makes ponchos that you can throw over your own coat when it's pouring down. You stay nice and dry and cheerful. So it's all good.

The raincoats from May are stylish and cool. And – not unimportantly – they are made from recycled PET bottles. In terms of models, these thoroughbred Amsterdammers are expanding further. First there was the Original, then the Lightweight and now they also have a Puffer, Mac and Trench in the collection. The names speak for themselves.

The huub-huub trick is in the zipper on the side. Your stylish coat becomes a rain poncho and you will stay even dry on the bike. Or during a stormy hike. Or... you can fill that in yourself. If you want to stay dry during that activity, the Maium is indispensable.

If you feel the irritation about the bottom of your clothes getting wet, then look at it Kepe. This Hague brand makes chic, long raincoats. Which – depending on your height – end somewhere between your shins and your ankles. Nice and completely dry. Kepe has 3 models. The trenchcoat which you with and without faux fur collar can wear in burgundy and black. The classic jacket in flare gold or muddy green. And 4 more kekke short rain jackets. Which means you get wet buttocks. But maybe you like that. Kepe is a bit more for women than for men. But hey, we won't judge.

The German bag brand Vivi Mari makes very nice rain ponchos. The jackets are made of recycled polyester, spacious enough to wear over your winter coat and available in too many nice colors, prints and plains. From plain black or beige to panther in lilac and yellow. Or graphic prints in mauve, rust and mustard. Do yourself a favor and buy a matching waterproof hat. So cozy.

The fact that we probably all know Stutterheim actually means that it belongs on this list. Never change a winning team really applies to Stutterheim. The jackets are made of rubber-coated cotton, which makes the inside feel soft and warm. Stutterheim excels in a classic raincoat style and if you ever buy one, you can be sure that the model will never go out of fashion. They now also have children's coats, rain caps, dog coats, rain boots and more waterproof items. In terms of colors, you actually want a new Stutt every season. We don't, of course. But secretly peeking at what goodies they have now is always fun.

Just like the above, Tretorn comes from Sweden. And Swedes know how to use the natural elements and are stylish. Tretorn makes eco essential rainwear. In other words, good-looking, classic raincoats that are made with care for the planet. We like! We have often come across great missions from outdoor-minded brands. Also Tretorn is such a brand that focuses on system change, circularity and positive impact on nature. A brand you can wear with confidence. And at the same time, it secretly looks stylish.
