They haven't always enjoyed a good rap. For various reasons, such rainwear - somehow - became associated with loose, or promiscuous women, mainly through the efforts of film-makers who frequently portrated femme fatales in crystal clear rainwear. Fortunately, these prejudiced attitudes are rapidly vanishing, thanks to the excellent efforts of numerous retailers offering a wide range of seriously sexy rainwear which you can take from home to work to a glam evening out on the town to the footy next day.
Here's just some of our favourite clear raincoats or rainjackets. I think you'll love them just as much as we do.

There's nothing Missguided about their beautiful clear rain jacket either:
Wanda Nylon's rather colourfully styled clear rainjacket isn't the cheapest but it is absolutely gorgeous though
Also from Topshop ... this beautiful clear bomber is simply awesome. I love it.
Last but not least ... Topshop's instant classic Clear Hooded Jacket, still available from Nordstrom:
... and if none of these raincoats suits your style or you've already got something delish which you would rather wear, check out this cuter-than-cute rain hat! No longer for little grandmas, this is something you can pop out of your handbag and wear whenever the heavens decide to open up upon you.
