Editor-approved picks for April showers and beyond.

Once a week, we ask our editors to share the items they've been loving or lusting after—whether it's a new skincare product we're dying to try or a travel essential we can't live without. Consider "The Weekly Covet" your editor-approved wish list for beauty, travel, fashion, and everything in between.

"This colorful trench (I have it in a sunny yellow, but it comes in more than a dozen shades) is more stylish than your standard rain jacket, and it's light weight (and vented back panel) mean it won't leave you sweaty as the weather warms up." — Lauren Hubbard, Contributor

"On dreary days, I like to carry an umbrella that helps to brighten up my look, like this one with a quaint pastel pattern and a classic wooden duck handle." — Caroline Hallemann, Digital Director

"The New York designer Jonathan Simkhai is well known for his yummy knits, but don't sleep on his smart leathers—vegan leather! Just take a look at this handsome belted jacket, protective on a rainy day and fabulous for every other occasion." — Erik Maza, Executive Style Director

"I do not like umbrellas and am always looking for stylish, low maintenance all-weather gear. I live for my galoshes from Swims but they offer more!" — Darrick Harris, Visuals Director

"I swore I would not be that person to dress my dog in jackets, but it's impossible to resist when you realize how much work it takes to dry a (very fluffy) dog off. This raincoat is perfect: extremely water-resistant, velcroes around the belly, and looks adorable." — Emily Burack, News Writer

"I have had my tall Hunter rainboots in black for years and adore them. I have been eyeing the short style for those days of in-between weather where it isn't quite storming but is still rainy and damp. I love the yellow and reminds me of being a kid splashing around in the puddles!" — Cassandra Hogan, Fashion Assistant

"I hate umbrellas. Hate touching them, carrying them, anything to do with them. A rain jacket is key to staying dry—Madewell consistently makes roomy, cute styles with the ever-important hood to keep my hair neat and dry." — Olivia Hosken, Style & Interiors Writer

"Navigating puddles and surviving a downpour in the city requires the appropriate footwear. These Captain boots from Thursday Boot Co. have a goodyear welt construction and rubber outsoles that keep me dry and safe on the way to work." — Michael Stillwell, Senior Designer

"A classic trench is always a good idea on a rainy day. I love the long length of this one from COS, which is great for keeping any stray drops from getting to my outfit underneath." — MaryKate Boylan, Senior Fashion Editor

"A rain shell jacket is critical for rainy hikes in the mountains but is also really nice to have on my way into the office. The ventilation zippers keep me cool in warm weather, but be sure to get a size slightly larger if you plan to layer up for colder days. This new longer version of the popular Beta rainshell is perfect for stormy days." — Michael Stillwell, Senior Designer

"Call me old fashioned, but if the weather is dour, you reach for a Barbour. It just feels right."—Roxanne Adamiyatt, Senior Lifestyle Editor

"I have been trying to wear more color as the weather warms up, but all of my coats and jackets are neutrals. I love this bright pink trench coat to brighten up a rainy day." — Breana Crews, Freelance Fashion Assistant

"For rainy days when you still have to go into the office or can't reschedule dinner, try Chloé's PVC ankle boots. These elevated rain boots will take your rainy day style to the next level!" — Sarah Carbonaro, Freelance Fashion Assistant
