STYLISH WEATHERPROOF JACKETS
While the rain might have held off in sunny Milan, a freak hailstorm as we boarded the plane home reminded us of what’s to come. Lucky, then, that designers have chosen to make fashionable items that are usually the opposite in their practicality. Anoraks have a tendency to make one look like a volunteer at the National Trust – fine if you’re out rambling, less so on the way to the office. Bottega Veneta’s highshine zip-fronted version is a good city option, or if the current weather fluctuations have you running hot and cold, you might try Bally’s butterscotch knitted poncho. It looks sufficiently expensive (which it no doubt will be) to be stylish, but is in fact a wearable blanket. CGE
