Finding decent plus size raincoats can feel like searching for a unicorn. Now, try doing that when youโ€™re rocking curves, and the quest can turn into a full-blown mythical adventure. Retailers often seem to think that if youโ€™re a certain size, your only priority is not getting rained on โ€“ fashion and a flattering fit? Apparently optional. So, the hunt begins, and youโ€™re left wondering if the only waterproof options out there were designed for shapeless blobs or require you to sacrifice your entire sense of style just to stay dry.

Ah, the glamorous world of plus size raincoat shopping! Itโ€™s a delightful journey where โ€œone size fits mostโ€ hilariously translates to โ€œabsolutely none of the above.โ€ You might stumble upon a sea of drab, oversized sacks that promise dryness but deliver zero style points, or perhaps a few โ€œfashionableโ€ options that mysteriously shrink in all the wrong places. Itโ€™s enough to make you consider just embracing the drizzle and hoping for the best, because the alternative often feels like choosing between looking like a soggy potato or a poorly wrapped gift.

Tips for Nailing Your Plus Size Raincoat Purchase:

Finding the perfect plus-size raincoat doesnโ€™t have to be a soggy saga. Here are some tips to navigate the waters:

  • Prioritize Fit, Not Just Size: Donโ€™t just grab your usual size. Look for brands that specifically design for plus-size figures, considering armhole depth, room through the bust and hips, and overall comfortable movement. Check size charts carefully, as they can vary between brands.
  • Consider Layering: Think about what youโ€™ll typically wear under your raincoat. If you plan on layering sweaters or thicker tops, you might want to size up slightly to avoid a restrictive fit.
  • Ventilation is Your Friend: Nobody wants to feel like theyโ€™re in a plastic bag. Look for features like mesh lining, back vents, or zippered underarm vents to promote breathability and prevent that clammy feeling.
  • Hood Savvy: Pay attention to the hood! Is it adjustable? Does it have a brim to keep rain out of your eyes? Can it be cinched so it doesnโ€™t blow off in the wind? A good hood makes a huge difference.
  • Pocket Power: Functional pockets are a must. Look for zippered or flap pockets to keep your essentials dry and secure. Consider the placement and size โ€“ can you comfortably fit your phone and keys?
  • Length Matters: Decide on your preferred length. A shorter jacket offers more mobility, while a longer trench coat provides more coverage for your legs. Consider your typical activities and how much protection you need.
  • Waterproof vs. Water-Resistant: Understand the difference! Waterproof means the fabric will prevent water from penetrating, while water-resistant means it can repel light moisture. For heavier rain, always opt for waterproof. Look for terms like โ€œwaterproof,โ€ โ€œfully seam-sealed,โ€ and specific waterproof ratings (e.g., mm rating).
  • Donโ€™t Sacrifice Style: Gone are the days of shapeless, boring plus-size options. Many brands now offer stylish raincoats in various colors, cuts, and details. Donโ€™t settle for something you donโ€™t love!
  • Read Reviews: Before you buy, check online reviews from other plus-size shoppers. They can offer valuable insights into the fit, quality, and overall satisfaction of the garment.
  • Check Return Policies: Especially when shopping online, ensure the retailer has a good return policy in case the raincoat doesnโ€™t fit or meet your expectations.

Ditch the dread of damp days and embrace the downpour with the right plus size raincoat. Itโ€™s about finding that perfect harmony of fit, function, and undeniable style that makes you actually look forward to those spring showers (or at least not completely resent them). With these tips in your arsenal, the quest for a chic and comfortable plus-size raincoat no longer needs to be a frustrating expedition. Happy splashing!

    They are all cute, but my faves are the cheery floral coat (reminds me of the cherry blossoms) and the Ellen Tracy number (love, love, love orange and khaki). The problem is that I will buy one and rarely use it ๐Ÿ™
