Get Ready for Rainy Days with These 10 Luxury Picks That Keep You Dry in Style!

Contents

Let the rain pour!

A rainy season in Japan is less about braving the weather and more about styling it. Grey skies? Just a neutral canvas. After all, the right wet-weather pieces can turn a damp forecast into an excuse to dress for an unplanned winter “runway.”

Start with an umbrella that actually makes you smile when it pops open and tuck a compact backup in your spacious luxury bag for those unexpectedly crowded commutes. Add a classic trench for structured days and a performance jacket for low-key errands. Or lean luxe with a knit sweater dress, a chic shawl, and a timeless beanie for a cozy finish. 

Choose rubber boots for puddles and leather ankle boots for light showers. Carry a wipe-clean rubber tote to protect what matters the most, and when the heavens open, a protective raincoat is your stylish savior.

Below, we’ve rounded up 10 rainy-season staples you’ll thank yourself for grabbing before the skies open up.

Louis Vuitton Monogram Cherry Blossom Umbrella

Japan’s rainy season has its own kind of charm: sakura umbrellas unfurling like blossoms in the middle of a storm. 

Even the gloomiest walk feels lighter beneath a luxurious umbrella. Louis Vuitton’s take—crafted in polyester and wood with its signature monogram and blossom accents—brings a blush of pink sophistication to any rainy-day ensemble.

Burberry Classic Trench Coat

The Burberry trench coat needs no introduction. What began as military attire during the First World War has evolved into a globally recognized symbol of fine taste.

In 1879, Thomas Burberry changed the course of outerwear by inventing gabardine—a fabric both breathable and water-resistant, unlike the heavy oilskins, rubber, and waxed cloths of the time. From this innovation came the Tielocken coat, a streamlined design that served as the direct predecessor to the modern trench.

More than a century later, the Burberry trench coat has become a cornerstone of British fashion, culture, and history. It takes the steady hand of specialist craftspeople to bring the trench to life (the collar alone can take up to a year to master!)

Gucci GG Logo Rain Boots

Rain boots keep your feet dry when puddles try to test you, and they save your outfit from soggy socks or mud splashes, and sit ready in the corner when you need a quick style upgrade—even on perfectly dry days.

A true staple for stormy days, Gucci’s GG logo rain boots prove that practicality can go hand in hand with style. It’s the mix of quiet luxury and everyday functionality that makes these boots indispensable. Their slim shaft tucks seamlessly under trousers, their tread grips confidently on wet pavement, and their subtle logo detail makes them as refined in an office elevator as they are reliable on a soaked sidewalk.

Moncler Black Acajou Jacket

On the days when a trench feels a little too structured, a breathy raincoat steps in. 

Moncler’s lightweight silhouettes are designed for style and function, blending weather-resistant fabrics with sleek quilting and sharp lines. With fashion-forward detailing that goes beyond the usual utilitarian raincoat, this standout piece holds its luxury appeal even in less-than-glamorous weather.

It slips effortlessly over office outfits and folds down flat for your suitcase, striking that rare balance between sleek style and practicality. That said, when it comes to braving stormy weather, a proper raincoat keeps you dry and cozy when the rain tries to ruin your day!

Louis Vuitton LV Ahead Knit Beanie in Ivory

An ivory beanie signals a woman who has her cold-day style figured out.

This ultimate winter neutral, with its fold-over cuff and tonal LV logo, gives you instant Paris rainy-day chic. Its soft stretch keeps the fit snug without a squeeze, making it as comfortable as it is polished. Pair it with a camel coat for a creamy monochrome moment, or wear it with denim and a trench for that effortless off-duty edge. Picture crisp mornings, hair tucked just right, and a soft frame that makes even grey skies feel intentional.

Gucci GG Rubber Tote

Rainy days deserve a bag that doesn’t flinch at a splash, and Gucci’s GG rubber tote does exactly that. It’s wipe-clean, structured, and roomy enough to protect your big must-haves and all those little extras that always sneak into the bag (pair it with a few small organizers to keep things chicly in order—you’re welcome!)

Fashion has already stamped rubber as a runway-approved material. Bottega Veneta showed it off in 2022, Balenciaga paired it with Crocs, and now more designers are following suit (per Vogue).

• Bonus point for going rubber: The material adds a crisp, modern edge that works for every occasion and every calendar page. Summer staples? Absolutely. Everyday companions? Even better. Practical to the core and wipe-clean in seconds, they’re the kind of no-stress accessory you can actually live with. From mini duffels to classic handbags, rubber adapts to every shape, size, and setting.

Hermès Black Cashmere Knit Dress

Pure cashmere in luxurious jet black!  

Hermès has been perfecting the art of craftsmanship since 1837, and its cashmere shows exactly why the brand remains at the heart of French luxury. The fabric feels indulgent yet timeless, combining innovative design with traditions that stand the test of time. 

An elegant Hermès knit dress balances warmth and style, carrying you through autumn showers and winter cold while keeping your look sharp. On top of its elegance, a well-made sweater dress spares you the frustration of replacing flimsy versions every season. It lasts longer, holds up beautifully, and proves its value over time.

Gucci Interlocking GG Ankle Boots

When the rest just doesn’t cut it, water-resistant rubber ankle boots step in as the sleek yet protective upgrade. Gucci takes it up a notch with its playful pink pair stamped in light blue GG, turning gloomy skies into a backdrop for a bold luxury statement.

The need for rubber rain boots depends on how often you face wet conditions. In climates with steady rain or snowy winters, they’re a lifesaver for keeping feet dry and cozy. But if you only deal with the occasional drizzle, a good pair of water-resistant shoes—or just staying in until the skies clear—might be more than enough.

Hermès Carré Jean Cashmere-Silk 140 Shawl

Since its debut in 1937, the Hermès silk scarf (better known in French as the carré, or “square”) has been a persuasive emblem of French elegance and endless styling—just ask Queen Elizabeth II who wore it beneath the chin, Jackie Kennedy Onassis who tied it at the neck, and Grace Kelly who once used it as a sling.

A luxurious Hermès cashmere-silk square moves effortlessly from scarf to shawl to travel blanket, making it perfect for those quick shifts between chilly streets and overheated transit. Its generous cut warms the chest and back without swallowing a coat, while on blustery days it tucks neatly under a collar. Once inside, let it fall over your shoulders for effortless yet refined warmth.

Burberry Purple Nova Check Umbrella

Rainy days don’t stand a chance against Burberry’s folding umbrella in a purple gradient check. Lightweight, portable, and made from nylon, it balances practicality with the signature polish of the British fashion house (already picturing yourself walking through a rainy London street?).

More than just rain gear, a quality umbrella shields you from getting soaked—and the chill that comes with it—while also doubling as sun protection against harmful UV rays. A Burberry umbrella works in equal measure for rain and shine, making it a timeless purchase you’ll appreciate all year long.
