What are the current trending colours in women's waterproof jackets?

When it comes to adventuring, function and style go hand-in-hand. You don’t have to look like an old-time jungle adventurer anymore, thanks to Columbia’s selection of women’s waterproof jackets in trending colours. But you might be wondering, what are the current trending colours in women’s waterproof jackets?

Although black and white are classic shades that never go out of style, bold and brightly coloured raincoats are also starting to take centre stage. For those who prefer something a bit muted, a nice earthy burgundy or camel always hits the spot.

Columbia understands the importance of colour and performance, so let’s examine why it’s important to let your fashion sense and personality shine while hiking.

Colour is more than just an aesthetic choice—it’s a reflection of your personality. Unless you’re trying to blend in with camouflage, wearing breathable layers of your favourite hues and shades can help with the following:

• Expressing your personality: How your outfit looks can boost your confidence and affect your overall mood, and hiking is no exception. You don’t have to leave your personality behind just because you’re connecting with nature. If anything, going outdoors is a great way to see how outdoor clothing fits with your sense of style.

• It evokes certain moods: No one wants to face dull and depressing hues when they’re out and about, so it’s important to have your raincoat (especially when there are showers) do the talking for you. Will you project a sense of calm during bad weather, or will you energise yourself and those around you with bright hues on a rainy day?

• You can coordinate with the rest of your gear: When you spend considerable time adventuring, you want to make sure your packable outdoor gear feels like your home away from home. Some people find comfort in keeping items in the same shade, so we made sure our accessories can match how your jacket looks.

• It aids visibility in case of emergency: If things go wrong (let’s hope not!), wearing noticeably bright shades can make it easier for others to spot you. For example, if you need assistance while adventuring in the rain, bright women’s clothing can help increase your visibility.

Trends change all the time, but most stylish adventurers tend to gravitate towards durable fabrics with these popular hues:

• Classics (black and white): When it comes to outerwear, you can’t beat a classic black or white waterproof jacket. You can pair them with any shade (even when wet!), and they’ll still look flattering. Black outerwear also hides dirt and stains well, while white makes you look fresh, clean, and elegant.

• Bold and bright (electric blue, pink, red): It takes courage to wear bold and bright coats like electric blue and pink, which is why it’s becoming a trend again. Not only is it an excellent way to cheer people up (especially during the rain), but it also gives you an opportunity to showcase your fearlessness.

• Light and cheerful (light burgundy, pastel pink): Light burgundy and pastel pink are perfect for adding a touch of femininity while keeping things soft and cheerful. Because these shades don’t pop too much, these colours offer an excellent way to combine fashion with practical features.

• Earthy (burgundy, camel): If you want your women’s coat to channel nature’s warm and natural beauty, earthy shades like burgundy and camel are your best bet. These hues subtle elegance still lets you display your fashion sense without drawing too much attention to yourself.

• Neutral (grey): Neutral shades like grey act as a canvas for other colourful items while maintaining a sleek and modern look. It also pairs well with other shades, stepping back and letting them be the centre of attention.
