CaceyAfter two and a half years of college, I finally understand the need for rain boots. Trekking across campus in flats or drenching my leather boots in the rain makes my day absolutely miserable–and wet! I’ve been on the hunt to find THE perfect rain boot and after weeks of searching, I’ve found The One.
Meet the beauty:
Jeffrey Campbell, $64.95, Nordstrom
I’m a huge fan of Jeffrey Campbell’s shoes so it only made sense that I instantly fell in love with these rain boots. They’re everything I want in a shoe: practical, chic, and cheap! They look even better in person and this absolute must-have makes my wardrobe complete (….for now, anyways).
Rain boots do not mean you have to sacrifice style OR make a dent in your wallet. You can still be fashionable while staying dry! Here are some fabulous options–all under $100–to keep your toes warm and dry during rainy weather:
Tretorn, $85, Zappos
Chooka, $79.95, Nordstrom
Sperry Top-Sider, $67.95, Zappos
Jeffrey Campbell, $54.95, Nordstrom
Chooka, $69.95, Nordstrom
Kamik, $59.95, Zappos
Sporto, $75, Piperlime
Stuart Weitzman, $98, Nordstrom
Chooka, $80, ShopBop
I’m loving the light pink Tretorn boots from Zappos. It’s the perfect accessory for adding color and brightening up a gloomy day! Prints are also a fun way to add personality to your outfit, whether it’s subtle like the Sperry Top-Sider wedge or a fierce leopard print. Rocker chic rain gear, like the Chooka Moto boots, makes a daring, fashion-forward statement while protecting your feet from the wet weather. So which rain boot is your favorite?
Just like you would with any other shoe, style an outfit with your rain boot to make it your own. Tuck in a pair of skinny jeans and throw on a loose tank and cozy sweater for casual rainy-day fashion. Or take a different approach and layer on a printed summer dress, over-sized cardigan and leggings for a flirty look. What’s your go-to-outfit for rainy weather?
