Normally most kind of rain gear is polyester based not very stylish. So we focus on the elegant aspects.

The number one item of outerwear for a rainy day in my opinion is a trench coat. If you're wearing tailored clothes, it's just an extension in terms of originality, style and history of the suit.

The second classic option are rubberized raincoats. Back in the day, it was like rubberized cotton. Modern raincoats for gentlemen are often made out of synthetics.

The third option for gentlemen are classic casual wax jackets. Basically these are garments made out of cotton that have a waxy surface that creates a patina over time that's very sophisticated.

The fourth thing to consider for a gentleman are performance fabric that are based in a sartorial realm.

In terms of shoes and shoe care, I'm a big stickler for traditional leather dress shoes and most of them can bear some form of rain without a problem. Your feet will remain dry. If you pre-treat your shoes you don't have to worry too much.

For a regular calf leather shoe with leather soles I suggest you invest in a leather sole oil and sometimes you can also find water repellent sprays that you spray on.

The third option you have is to go with over shoes or galoshes.

If you're into Cordovan shoes, I suggest you really try to avoid wet weather with those because it can lead to very ugly water stains which are hard to remove.

So what if your leather dress shoes or your boots get really wet or soaked? Evenly wet the shoe. That seems counterintuitive but by adding water back into the shoe and letting it dry in a natural way without artificial heat, you will have a nice leather again that has no more water stains.

If you live in an area where it rains a lot or you have to deal with
floods regularly it pays to invest in some really sturdy rubber boots that are tall or rain boots that are 100% waterproof.

During the cold days of the year. A pair of unlined dressy leather gloves or even lined leather gloves that are waterproof can be a godsend.

A felt hat can be a great way to keep dry. They're usually made out of rabbit hair which is naturally water repellent.

The better option is to go with an umbrella because it's much wider and it really keeps you much drier.
