Need a summer raincoat? This £35 style has a hood and colour options - but is selling fast
If you're going to have to give up on sunshine and shop for a summer raincoat, you may as well make it a stylish and affordable one, right?
Sounds like a tall order, but there is such a thing as a flattering raincoat that'll look good with most things you own, at a seriously great price point.
In fact, shoppers have been so quick to snap up this very affordable £34.99 Hooded Rain Anorak from New Look that it has already sold out in two out of the five colours.
Why we rate it
This is the perfect light raincoat to have in your wardrobe to combat whatever the unpredictable British weather throws at you. While the black and cream colours have already sold out, it's still available in grey, khaki and light pink, in sizes 6-18.
The fit-and-flare design of the jacket is super-flattering and looks just as good open or closed. It's also just the right length, so you don't have to worry about getting soggy trousers when sitting down.
It's practical design includes a loose-fit hood which has toggles to make it tighter, if needed. The zip and popper fastening are also easy to do up, while the deep pockets are a great size to keep things like your phone in.
Shoppers say it's quite a loose - but not baggy - fit, which means it's great to layer on top of other things. It also means it's more breathable, which is ideal for the summer months to avoid you getting too sweaty.

"This caught my eye in one of the stores, I didn’t have time to buy then so I decided to go online and order it. I ordered a size 16 which is my size and it fits perfectly and plenty room to zip up. Keeps me warm and dry, just what I wanted."
