[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can anyone recommend a great women’s raincoat? I have been searching high and low and cannot find one that meets these standards:

- long (at least mid-thigh if no longer)
- not completely shapeless
- a nice color - not black. the Patagonia long raincoat looks perfect but only comes in black or drab)
- actually waterproof. per online reviews a lot of coats actually are not waterproof [/quote]

I have two raincoats that I find to be functional and stylish. (I have others that are more for outdoorsy activities, but these two are my work/traveling raincoats.) One is the Patagonia Larissa trench coat in a navy blue. It appears that Patagonia no longer sells it, but you can find it on Poshmark, the RealReal, etc. It's similar to this Helly Hansen one:

I also love the English brand Rains. I have a Rains "longer jacket" that I purchased in London a decade ago, and it's held up very well. The silhouette is simple and elegant.

They have a trench coat version, too:
