Rainy days need not dampen your style. A good raincoat or jacket not only keeps you dry but also complements your look. With a plethora of options available, from sleek minimalist designs to bold statement pieces, finding the right raincoat can elevate your rainy-day ensemble. In this blog, we'll delve into key considerations when choosing a raincoat, focusing on weatherproofing attributes and stylish elements that make these outerwear pieces both functional and fashionable.
Keeping the Rain Out
How waterproof a jacket is will depend on its waterproof rating. The higher a jacket’s waterproof rating, which can vary from 1,500mm to 20,000mm, the more protection you will have from the elements. Waterproof jackets under 5,000mm are best for light rain, jackets over 5,000mm are good for moderate rain, jackets over 10,000mm are made for heavy rain, and anything over 15,000mm is perfect for long heavy downpours and snow.
Other things to consider when looking for a raincoat are the length, if they have a hood, are they seam-sealed, and the materials. If you are looking for a raincoat that will keep you dry in heavy rain, then opt for a seam-sealed one. This means the tiny holes made by the needle in the sewing process are covered so they don’t leak. Additionally, pay attention to the material composition. A roomy hood that reaches over your face and has drawstrings, as well as a longer length, will also help in keeping you dry, especially in windy weather. A good choice of material for rainwear is polyester with polyurethane (PU) or Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) coating. This combination makes for a durable and effective waterproof and windproof jacket. For extra breathability and warmth, choose a raincoat with lining.
Styling Rainwear
Let's look at styling your raincoat for an office look, casual day, and travel. Rain jackets come in various cuts and styles, ranging from classic long-length trench coats to durable mid-weight coats and sporty lightweight jackets. For a perfect rainy day office-to-evening look, choose a classic long trench coat. Pair it with a sleek black umbrella, boots, tailored pants, and a classy blouse or shirt. For a casual day ensemble, embrace bold hues or playful patterns to inject personality into rainy days. Choose a coat with slightly longer hems and a hood so you stay dry while running errands and pair it with your favourite jeans, a tee, and sneakers. Packing a rain jacket when you travel is essential. Be prepared for anything with a lightweight roomy shell that's easy to pack and easy to layer with t-shirts and jumpers depending on the weather in your destination. Whatever the occasion, make a splash with your rainwear by incorporating it as part of the look.

Optional—leave this off to buy without contact sharing by this feature. Meta receives the coded information in the United States. Hashes are not anonymous. This permits broader advertising optimisation and personalisation, not attribution-only measurement. It does not subscribe you to email/SMS marketing or waive Australian APP 8 protections. Read the notice below before choosing.
Off—optional Meta advertising improvement is not enabled.
If you choose optional Meta purchase matching and advertising improvement, Zebrano will use the email address and phone number you provided for your order to help match an eligible purchase to a Meta account, measure our Facebook and Instagram advertising, and improve and personalise ad delivery. This choice is optional. You can browse, buy and receive order communications without enabling it. It does not subscribe you to marketing emails or text messages.
Before sending these contact details, our server normalises them and converts them into SHA-256 hash values. We send the hashes, not the original email address or phone number, through Meta’s Conversions API. Hashing is a security measure; it does not make the information anonymous because Meta can match the hashes against information it holds.
The hashes accompany the eligible purchase event, including its event identifier, purchase time, currency and merchandise value after discounts, excluding GST and delivery. Where available and permitted, the event also includes existing Meta browser or advertising-click identifiers, browser information and verified product identifiers. This optional feature does not send your name, postal address, date of birth, gender, payment-card details or bank/payment reference. We do not invent advertising-click identifiers when they are absent.
This optional feature allows the matched purchase event to be used for advertising-delivery optimisation, not attribution only. Under Meta’s Business Tools Terms, Meta may combine event information with other information to support advertising objectives, determine ad relevance, personalise content and advertising, and provide, improve and secure its products. We do not use this control to upload customer-list audiences, launch new remarketing campaigns or send commercial messages. Those are separate business actions. Your Facebook or Instagram advertising and privacy settings also apply. This notice does not replace notices for other website tools or ordinary order processing.
The recipient is Meta Platforms, Inc. in the United States. Meta may process information in other countries under its policies and business terms. Zebrano relies on the applicable New Zealand recipient-coverage and Australian overseas-disclosure safeguards, including Meta’s business/security terms and the controls described here. This control does not ask you to waive Australian APP 8 protections. Please read Meta’s linked Privacy Policy and Business Tools Terms for its processing and your Meta choices.
You can make or change this choice through the Meta advertising-improvement controls in this website’s footer, including on checkout pages. The control starts off unless you explicitly enable this new purpose. A previous attribution-only choice does not enable it. A decision on one Zebrano website does not enable it on the other website. If the working controls are unavailable, this optional feature is not active.
Turning this choice off stops future contact sharing by this feature, including for a purchase that has not yet been transmitted. It cannot recall information already sent or in transmission. Turning off broader Meta measurement permission, sending a supported Global Privacy Control signal, or being outside a verified New Zealand or Australian location also prevents sharing. Unknown locations are not treated as permission. Rollback does not silently revive an old contact-sharing grant.
We remember this browser’s choice and keep its minimal permission record for up to 180 days. Clearing cookies, changing browsers or using another device may mean you need to make the choice again. We do not create a separate persistent copy of the contact details or their hashes in this feature’s tracking records, AI prompts, diagnostic logs or exports. Existing order records are retained separately under our normal order and legal-retention practices.
Only future purchases with the required permission at checkout and at dispatch are eligible. Where payment confirmation arrives after checkout, the feature may send the purchase after payment is confirmed, while the original permission and protected measurement context remain valid. We do not backfill earlier orders or replay previously transmitted purchases when you enable the choice. Existing protected browser-to-order measurement context is kept for no more than 48 hours; a minimal purchase identity and delivery record without contact details may be retained for up to 180 days to prevent duplicates and support reconciliation. Meta’s own retention rules apply after receipt.
For purchases on our Australian website, this feature reports values in Australian dollars (AUD). We keep them separate from New Zealand-dollar sales and advertising spend unless an explicit currency conversion is applied.
You can request access to or correction of your personal information, or make a privacy complaint, using the Zebrano privacy contact details in this policy. Our existing complaints procedure applies. Where applicable, you can also contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner.
