25 monsoon jackets

Bally

The clap of thunder is enough to make anyone retreat indoors—and stay there—but sometimes you've just got to zip up and prepare to face the deluge. If you've resigned yourself to the idea of spending the season in a boring raincoat, think again. The spring/summer runways came armed with a slew of options to combat the rainy months in style.

Read on for Vogue's list of 25 jackets—from a lightweight trench to a trusty parka—that'll have your back this monsoon. 

The trench

A lightweight trench coat worn loose over a midi dress or trousers is one fail-safe way to protect that carefully-chosen ensemble. Hate the idea of a coat covering up your #OOTD? Try a see-through style like Huemn's leather-trimmed version.

The denim jacket

Trend alert: right now, there's nothing cooler than double denim. Add a distressed denim jacket to your tee-and-boyfriend jeans combo, or throw a denim duster coat on over your summer shorts.

The sleeveless blazer

If the idea of layering in all this humidity is getting you down, go for a sleeveless version. A rich Bordeaux waistcoat may be just what you need to amp up a simple outfit. Feeling a bit more adventurous? Look for pieces with texture or detail like Brunello Cucinelli's fringed version.

The cropped jacket

Word has it the cropped jacket is the easiest way to fake supermodel legs. Pieces like Burberry's denim-and-PVC version are a smart choice for rainy days, while a printed bomber jacket may be just the pick-me-up you need when the clouds roll in.

The utilitarian coat

If you're looking for full cover while maintaining your normcore status quo, look no further than parkas in hues like navy and olive. But if you're the sort that values pretty over protected, you've got pastel cover-ups like the ones at Giamba and Undercover to turn to.
