The rainy season in the Philippines continues.
Whether you’re on the way to work, going out with friends on the weekends, or heading out to catch your number one artist’s set at a local venue or outdoor festival, it’s important to be ready to face any weather conditions. In fact, an essential part of your outdoor endeavors during this season is a jacket you can trust to have your back during a downpour. Especially, a waterproof one.
Considering versatility, comfort, function, and, of course, style, Billboard Philippines has picked out a few of these jackets that you can seamlessly add to your daily outfits whenever the rain comes. Pair well with the top waterproof boots and shoes we chose earlier this year and you’ll never have to worry when braving the torrential weather of the Philippines this season. From windbreakers to parkas, these pieces are sure to help keep you warm, dry, and comfortable wherever you go and need to be.
