Every parent knows the importance of a good boy’s raincoat (even if you sometimes have to wrestle your little tot into it before leaving the house!). Whether you’re caught in a spring shower or wrapping up against heavier rain in winter, a warm jacket is a wardrobe staple. Treading the line between trendy and practical can be a little tricky, however, especially with so many options out there. To help you out, we’ve put together a collection of our favourite boy’s waxed coats for you to choose from. Read on to discover our top styles.

Waterproof jackets for baby boys

Regardless of whether you're dressing a newborn or school-age child, a waterproof outer layer is a must-have. To kick off, we have a collection of adorable raincoats for baby boys that will keep your little one dry and snug in inclement weather. Why not pick up this hooded raincoat with a visor from Carrément Beau? Featuring a block-colour design in multiple shades of blue, this jacket perfectly mixes tradition with elegance. Flap patch pockets with press-stud closures are perfect for keeping found treasures safe on a country walk. There's also a 100% cotton lining to ensure it feels soft on sensitive skin.

If you’d prefer something in a sunnier colour for your little boy, this bold Carrément Beau waterproof hooded raincoat is sure to hit the mark. It comes in cheerful yellow and features a jersey lining to keep your baby toasty in the colder weather. Plus, this design is available in sizes up to six years – matching family photo anyone?

Boys’ raincoats

If you’re looking for a waxed raincoat for an older boy, look no further than our raincoat collection. With a wide array of designs from a variety of brands, you’re sure to find your new favourite piece. This hooded raincoat by Zadig & Voltaire is available in sizes four to sixteen years in a smart black design that will match any outfit. With a fluffy polar fleece lining and a rubber-effect illustration on the back, this jacket is as stylish as it is practical.

Another great option is the iconic Aigle raincoat with a patch. Available in gold yellow, navy and poppy red, you’re sure to find a colour that showcases your kid’s individuality. Thanks to the water-repellent fabric, they can weather the rain in style. The zip and press-stud fastening gives it a clean finish while ensuring its wearer stays snug inside.

Parkas, jackets and coats

Our collection of snowsuits and coats for babies is ideal if you’re looking for a more all-round piece, as it includes parkas, jackets and coats in addition to the essential one-piece suit. We think the winter months can sometimes be lacking in colour - fortunately, there are plenty of bright rainbow shades in our kids' clothing. This zip-up hooded puffer jacket from MARC JACOBS is no exception. Available for ages 2 up to 14, impossible to miss the bold stripes of the vibrant blue/red colourway and the big 'MJ' initials on the chest. Practical details include a zipped high collar and warm polar fleece lining.

We've made it easy to keep your baby looking cute and stylish no matter how cold it gets – take this KENZO KIDS water-resistant snowsuit for example. Thanks to its handy all-in-one design with padded hood and fleece lining, you can throw it over whatever your kid is wearing and be certain they’ll keep warm. Plus, the sweet multicoloured elephant design will shine in your holiday snaps.

Our final pick is this BOSS water-repellent hooded jacket. If you’re a fan of understated elegance, then this layer is a must-have. Featuring BOSS’ iconic brand colours in the form of wide, quilted horizontal stripes, this zip-up coat is the epitome of class. It's practical, too, with a water-repellent design that offers optimal protection from bad weather.
