Weather the Storm
Whether you're dodging a mid-winter snow storm or preparing for the upcoming season of rain showers, equip yourself now with proper protection that's as stylish as it is substantial. Every grown man should have a proper umbrella, raincoat and weather-resistant footwear. Herewith, some suggestions.
The Modern Shield
The go-to brolly for city dwellers. The technically-advanced compact canopy has futuristic rounded edges which make it aerodynamic, rip-proof and less threatening to your fellow pedestrians on the sidewalk. Virtually impossible to turn inside out, it can withstand winds up to 70 mph.

Galoshes & Boots
A pair of rubber galoshes will protect your leather lace-ups from salt, puddles and other precipitation. Tingley makes a handsome moccasin-styled pair that easily slips on and off. And while there are plenty of boots that can handle snow, mud and other storm conditions, L.L. Bean Signature's waxed canvas duck boots are light and comfortable enough that you'll want to keep them on all day.

Take Cover
Every man needs a well-built coat to take on rain, snow and sleet. Opt for a lighter version that's breathable enough to wear all year. When it's cold out, simply layer under it. From an updated take on the trench coat from a quintessential British brand and a simplified Scandinavian spin on the yellow rain slicker to a military-influenced technical jacket built to withstand storms, here are three styles to consider.
