Next's 'shower resistant' jacket could be ideal for wearing to TRNSMT
This raincoat may help keep protected during any unpredicted downpours at the Glasgow-based music festival.
Festival season is underway, meaning it's time to get an outfit sorted. Aside from catching our favourite music acts, the most important element is choosing what to wear.
Now, while the UK might be in the midst of a heatwave, there's no denying that our summer weather can get a bit unpredictable, especially in Scotland, which is something TRNSMT revellers should be wary of.
In the case of any potential downpours, it might be handy to have Next's Shower Resistant Lightweight Jacket on hand. Not only will it keep concert-goers dry, but it is easy enough to be packed away into a bag for when it's not needed.
Available to buy in two colours - sage green and black - this £65 layer has been crafted in a longer length, with a shower-resistant material that boasts a trendy crinkle-texture effect.
It also features an adjustable hood, meaning festival attendees can make sure their well-crafted hairdo won't get washed away, while the full-zip fastening ensures full protection of the body.

Product Description
Designed in regular and petite, the shower-proof jacket is finished with the classic plain packet and two popper fastened side pockets that can stash important items such as a phone, wristband and even tickets.
As of writing, the high street retailer's jacket, which is included in its latest Festival Edit, is available to buy in sizes six to 26, with multiple stock left available for both colours.
For those who like to wear something a little more snazzy, then Boohoo's Holographic Festival Mac that costs just £14 is perfect for those who are looking to keep protected from the rain, while still adding a touch of fashion to their outfit.
Another bold option for the fashionistas at any festival this year is Matalan's Brave Soul Pink Hooded Longline Rain Mac. Priced at £32, it features bold contrast binding along the seams for a look that won't be missed.
However, Next's Shower Resistant Jacket is also perfect for popping into a travel bag for any sort of event this summer, with glowing praise from shoppers who say it is "lightweight" and "very comfortable" to wear.
One five-star review read: "Lovely lightweight coat for warmer days and light showers. Very good sleeve length and I love the crinkle effect. Beautiful sage colour."
Someone else remarked: "Thisis a lightweight shower coat in a very nice shade of green. It has some interesting features, and is exactly what I was looking for. It is a generous fit allowing for thicker layers if needed."
Another shopper happy with their purchase said: "Love this jacket and colour. It is true to size and very comfortable."
Its casual design was not met with enthusiasm from all shoppers, as one two-star review read: "Looked scruffy. Ok for walking dog. Sent it back as wanted a smarter coat."
