We all know the classic Hunter rain boots. Rachel Bilson wears them, the Olsen twins wear them—even the Duchess of Cambridge herself wears them. For many years, they were the chicest version of rainy footwear around. But now, more and more designers are stepping up their rainy weather game—creating fun, convenient, and (surprisingly) stylish rain boots.
So whether you only wear them when the sun is gone and the rain is pouring, or if you just think they look cute with your outfit (guilty as charged), these new and improved rain boots will be the surefire way to brighten your day (and look)—rain or shine.
Jeffrey Campbell Forecast Rain Boot: These Chelsea-inspired ankle booties are super-shiny, ready for rain, and crazy chic. Available in black, green, and wine colors, these boots can be worn as a buddy to your favorite raincoat, or with your favorite jeans and sweater on a rainless weekend.
Kate Spade New York Romi Rain Boot: Always bringing color and whimsy to your sartorial (and personal) life, Kate Spade has gone the extra mile with these bright, bow-adorned, red rain boots. A fun plus: the elevated height of the heel makes puddle-hopping so much more fun (especially in those unexpectedly deep sidewalk rain-holes found all along NYC).
Michael Kors Davenport Rain Boot: Tough, treaded, and buckled, these Michael Kors rain boots will ensure that the rain never takes your look (or poor socks) prisoner ever again. Wear them with all black to add a rain-and-rock vibe to those days when you feel the bad weather blues.
Melissa “Soldier” Platform Rain Booties: Envious ankle booties or cold-weather rainwear? We say both! These platform rain booties are almost unrecognizable as one of the newest crops of rain boots to hit retailers. Your friends will be so jealous of you when you don’t have to change your shoes when the rain starts coming down (and they come in black or brown, so the options are all right there.)
