The Fashion Girl Way To Wear Rain Boots
Whether you live in New York City or Paris, you likely have a pair of rain boots sitting in your hall closet. You might not associate the rubber shoes with high fashion, more so a way to keep your feet dry in the midst of a torrential downpour. But lately, both high-end and contemporary labels are coming out with luxe iterations of the gloomy weather necessity. And with both a rainy and snowy season here, navigating how to style rain boots, no matter what your day entails, will come in handy.
You've probably already spotted Bottega Veneta's Puddle Boots on the feet of your favorite influencers like Grece Ghanem and Erika Boldrin. The boots made their debut down the runway in the Fall/Winter 2020 collection, and are already reaching the same cult-status as the rest of the brand's offerings. But for a more contemporary option, Ganni is a go-to destination. Choose between one of its bright or neutral shades in the Recycled Rubber City Boot. And of course, you can always rely on classic rain gear brand Hunter to provide a durable, versatile silhouette. Once you find your ideal boot, next comes the styling. Ultimately, rain boots can easily be coordinated with whatever look you assemble for the day. Follow fashion girls and pair the boots with sweat sets and luxe long coats. Alternatively, rain boots give a cool contrast to more elevated apparel, like puff-sleeve dresses and midi skirts.
If the forecast calls for rain, be ready with a cute outfit to keep you equal parts dry and stylish. Below, find 11 rain boot outfits to bookmark this season.
