With the weather beginning its fickle cycle and rain becoming slowly but surely becoming a regular occurrence, refreshing our wardrobes with rainy day must-haves is a must. Seasonal transitions bring unpredictable bouts of rain and heavy wind, which certainly isn’t ideal for date night or a weekend afternoon out and about.
Thankfully, we’ve hunted down plenty of rainy outfit must-haves that prove it is possible to out-style a downpour. From selecting the right jacket to ensuring that our trousers are just slightly cropped and that our trusty footwear boast a wipe-clean surface, we have a host of ideas that are sure to protect you from looking like you got caught in the rain–even if you did.
Keep scrolling to see the key pieces that are guaranteed to keep you warm and most importantly, protect you from the downpour.
Combat Boots
Typically, when we wear shorts, we picture them styled with sneakers or sandals. However, combat boots are also a cute alternative and will protect your feet should you step in any puddles.
Colorful Jacket
A gloomy day calls for a bright and most importantly, easy to wear pieces. Grab for the most vibrant jacket in your wardrobe and experiment with color combos. A neutral pair of shoes will provide some balance.
Waterproof Sneakers
Not feeling boots? Go with a pair of sneakers instead. You won’t need to worry about them getting messed up, and they’ll give your outfit a laidback vibe.
Bucket Hat
Be it a bucket option, a cap, or a beret, a hat will add flair to your outfit and protect your hair in style.
Blazer
A blazer is a quick trick that will take any outfit to the next level, adding warmth while ensuring you look sharp. If you feel like your outfit is missing something, cinch your waist with the help of a belt.
