I’ve now lived in Portland, Oregon, going on 12 years…and let me tell you. There are a lot of sad raincoats out there, haha.

But with the help of my fellow boring-raincoat-hater/fearless leader, Shana, we were able to round up 12 chic, fun raincoats that AREN’T sad! Like this bright & happy yellow raincoat. (Also, 12 rain jackets for 12 years living in Portland? Sounds good to me!)

Tired Of Boring Raincoats? Try These (Free People, adidas, Athleta, Boden & More)

I’ve long appreciated those Shirley Manson lyrics, and there are times in the year when I am only happy when it rains…but it turns out spring is not one of those times.

Raincoats are such a staple here in the Pacific Northwest that I really need something that works, obviously, but that also has some flare, some color, something that makes my designer heart sing. Happy raincoat, happy life? Isn’t that the saying?

It should be here on the Upper Left Coast!

1. Boden Waterproof Cape Jacket

Boden Raincoat

This Boden raincoat is just something different but cute and classically British. (Always a win!) Waterproof and in sizes 2 to 20/22. Go, Boden!

---

2. Lole Piper Waterproof Rain Jacket

Lole Raincoat (more colors here)

This Lole rain jacket is my favorite of the roundup, for sure. I can’t decide whether to try the blue or green, though! Also waterproof and sizing is XXS to XXL.

3. Rains Curve Hooded Rain Jacket

Rains Coat

This hooded raincoat from Rains is chic and fun and fresh at the same time. The longer length is ideal and, of course, the sky blue. XS to XL.

---

4. Free People Singin’ In the Rain Packable Jacket

Free People Jacket

Fun, sporty and bright…this Free People rain jacket is far from sad. Wind- and water-resistant, oversized fit, and it packs into itself! Comes in some other fun shades (check out that blue) and in sizes XS to XL.

---

5. Athleta Windout Jacket

Athleta Jacket

OK, so, technically this is a wind- and snag-resistant jacket, but all of Athleta stuff works in light rain too. Love the trench-coat vibes but in a sporty option. Comes in black as well. Sizing is XS to XL. The back is the gorgeousness here!

---

6. Barbour Wishaw Showerproof Hooded Rain Jacket

Barbour Coat

You must click through to see how cool this Barbour rain jacket is all snapped up too. Barbour makes amazing jackets and coats. This comes in indigo as well, in sizes 4 to 14.

---

7. Adidas Plus-Size Always Original Trench

adidas Trench

This plus-size trench coat from adidas is by far the coolest option here. It’s a loose, lightweight trench coat that can transform into a long vest or crop jacket too! I know. Sizes are 1x to 4x. ADORE this!

---

8. Oof Full-Length Jacket

Oof Coat

Shana has and loves this Oof overcoat, and Linzi keeps wanting to steal it, she said. That’s good enough for me! So cute and even cuter on/in person, according to S. Pretty low in stock, but a few sizes in black, lilac and peach.

---

9. Vuori Elijo Rain Jacket

Vuori Jacket

The details — breathable, water-resistant and packable — and fit of this rain jacket from Vuori make it the perfect jacket for everyday adventures. It comes in this pretty color they call Suede as well as black. Sizes XS to XL. Made from recycled materials.

---

10. Adidas Terrex Xploric RAIN.RDY City Jacket

adidas Jacket

This adidas raincoat is just really cool in its details and styling. Click through for the mustard color (this green is awesome but sold out). Waterproof and has a belt for a unique fitted look. I love that it looks both technical and super-stylish, and it would keep you nice and dry without being boring.

---

11. Adidas BSC 3-Stripes RAIN.RDY Jacket

adidas Jacket

Not only is this classic adidas jacket fully waterproof, but it’s also made with 100% recycled materials AND has a roll-away hood. I could always reach for a great black jacket like this with a touch of sporty details every day. It would also be easy to travel with. It’s available in plus sizes at Amazon.

---

12. Barbour Plus-Size Byermoor Waterproof Jacket

Barbour Jacket

This waterproof jacket is classic but with really lovely details: a washed-looking fabric, slant pockets, plaid lining, and the quality we know and love from Barbour.
