Whether you’re going to work, lining up your first putt of the day, or enjoying a night out with friends, you want to look your best. Unfortunately, Mother Nature sometimes has other plans. Inclement weather—especially cold, wet conditions—can pose challenges.

Wearing your favorite chinos and dress shoes quickly becomes a less appealing idea when there are a few inches of snow on the ground. And while the windblown look might work for the main character in your favorite show, it’s far less practical in the real world.

So, how can you look and feel your best, even when the elements are working against you? Here are four ways to stay stylish when the weather won’t cooperate.

Dress in Layers

Most of us really only have to contend with the weather when we’re commuting. That’s why dressing in layers is a practical, effective way to ensure you look your best when you arrive at your destination.

Wear a coat with your favorite collared shirt to protect it from wind or moisture. Typically, your pants will be just fine, but if the weather is severe or you have high-stakes items on your agenda, you can wear a longer coat or break out the umbrella.

Or, consider implementing the next tip.

Change at the Office

Many of us carry gym bags to the office so we can exercise during the workday, and you can use this same tactic to ensure you look your best on a rainy or snowy day.

Simply pack your shirt, pants, belt, and blazer—though we wouldn’t recommend using the same bag you use for your gym clothes—and get to work a little earlier so you have time to change.

You may even want to take it a step further. If you have your own office space, you can keep an iron, extra ties, and even a few no tuck shirts at the office. You never know when a backup option could come in handy.

Look for Performance Fabrics

While keeping your look together in spite of poor weather may seem straightforward, it’s more difficult when conditions change at a moment’s notice. This can happen during any season.

Often, your outer layer that was perfect for the chilly morning commute is too hot by the time the afternoon sun breaks through the clouds. To avoid feeling sweaty and stifled, your best bet is to choose styles made with performance fabrics.

Whether you opt for a short sleeve dress shirt or a golf polo, clothes that feel like your favorite athletic wear can help keep you comfortable all day long.

When you shop, look for clothing that’s lightweight, wrinkle-resistant, dries quickly, and offers superior four-way stretch.

Invest in a Stylish Coat

Of course, the weather doesn’t always change for the better. Some winter days can go from chilly to downright frigid, and on occasion, the heat in your office may stop working.

There’s nothing that’ll work against a great outfit more than a decade-old ski coat with lift tickets still in the pockets

So, when you leave for work each day, it’s best to reach for a stylish coat that you’d be comfortable wearing during a board meeting or a client lunch if necessary.
