WHETHER you like singing in the rain or run and hide the moment a raindrop splashes on the pavement, every girl needs a mac.

Styles this season are belted, to help cinch in the waist, and have big collars which can be worn either down or up for a more quirky, retro look.

There's every colour in the rainbow to choose from, including black and muted shades of beige and brown, but the emphasis is definitely on brights.

Just make sure your handbag and shoes don't clash, or you'll have more than a few raindrops to worry about.
