Until now, I never thought I’d have a desire to own a rain coat. But like each of his designs for fashion house Bottega Veneta, Tomas Maier has taken something average and infused in it a chic sensibility.This classic coat is all silk and ruched with a bubble hem. Who knew a rain coat could be so luxurious?

I love how the grey colouring and zip front (pockets, too!) are simple enough not to overtly stand out, but stylish enough to combine with several pieces of clothing. This rain coat could easily dress up or down; I especially love the idea of pairing it with a long-sleeved mini dress, and cinching the waist with a skinny belt.
