When you experience all four seasons in a week, you need your wardrobe to cooperate. As a Northeasterner, my outerwear philosophy has always been purely functional. It does not matter how it looks or if it's comfortable [1] — it has to survive the storms, the torturous cold, and brutal winds. However, I finally found a jacket that is not only weather-proof but so cute and comfortable [2]. The Go-H20 Water-Resistant Hooded Anorak for Women [3] ($50, originally $55) in XS from Old Navy [4] has been my favourite go-to jacket this season.

I'm a petite person, and outerwear looks significantly oversized on me but not in a cute Ariana Grande [6] way, more like in an overwhelming way, like I'm being engulfed in a sea of jackets. What I love about the Go-H20 Water-Resistant Hooded Anorak for Women [7] ($50, originally $55) jacket is that it has an adjustable drawcord at the cinch of the waist. It gives the jacket some shape and makes me look like I have proper curves and not just wearing a poncho from a Niagara Falls tour. I also love that the cuffs of the sleeves are cinched in with elastic bands. I can actually use my hands and move my arms without the jacket getting in the way.

The jacket is a must-have all year round. It's lightweight enough to shield you from April showers but also roomy for layering so you can wear comfy, fluffy sweaters in the wintertime and not feel too stuffy. The Go-H20 Water-Resistant Hooded Anorak for Women [8] ($50, originally $55) is also great as activewear, especially for hiking! It has giant pockets that are quite inconspicuous. You can carry a water bottle, your phone, keys, a sunscreen stick, and even a few protein bars. This jacket has been my go-to for everyday activities. It is a high-quality piece that is functional, cute, and affordable.
