What is the best rainwear for tailored clothing?

I wear a blazer to work, soemtimes a suit if I am meeting with an important client. I've got a wool overcoat that works great for winter, but I am in need of something that I can wear in the rain during warmer weather. What has worked for you?

A mac / trench coat

Mackintosh (mac) coat or single breasted trench. I have an old waterproof Uniqlo blocktech coat which is styled as mac. Similar-ish to the one below. IMO raincoats can be overkill if it's a short or light rain. A tiny umbrella in your bag can be more helpful. Traditional macs / trenches used cotton ventile which is waterproof but not very breathble. Makes you sweat buckets.

I am talking about heavy spring/summer rain.

Mac or trench is definitely the way to go for warmer weather but a Barbour is great for the shoulder season

Ah. I usually wear my Barbour jacket in the fall and winter when I am not wearing blazers or suits; I worry it may rumple the jacket.

Nah it’ll be fine assuming you went TTS on your Barbour. Even if you sized down it’ll be fine - wool is fairly wrinkle resistant

True to size (jacket size in this case)

You can usually find vintage burberrys for pretty cheap, got my tench for about 60 and my mac for about 80

Would Burberry be suitable for hot weather?
