You do not have to dress like the Gorton’s fisherman to stay protected from the inevitable Spring rain. You can find a stylish raincoat, boots and an umbrella that can keep you fashionably fresh and dry. Don’t let a little water rain on your parade. There are several cheerful, waterproof options to choose from as the April showers descend to usher in the beautiful May flowers.
Choose a raincoat that flatters your figure. A long trench-style raincoat in a flattering color will complement most women. Look for an A-line cut that skims over larger hips and thighs, or go with a cape-style raincoat. While long raincoats protect more of your body from heavy downpours, a shiny cropped trench coat looks wonderful on petites and is the perfect choice for light showers.
Add style with color and patterns. To cheer you up on a gray day, choose a raincoat with a colorful lining. Cheer everyone you meet by wearing a bright hue or boldly patterned raincoat. Check out the variety of raincoats from Marimekko. The iconic Unikko print with it’s bold pink, red and black flowers are sure to stand out in a crowd.
Go for functional fashion with a raincoat and tote combo. Deal with the unpredictable Spring weather by keeping a raincoat handy. This does not mean you have to slip on a cheap looking plastic number. Choose a bright spring green parka that folds into its own pouch for traveling. Hilary Radley packable city raincoat also comes in classic black.
Accessorize with a pair of rubber boots that suit your style. Traditional wellies now come in a wide array of colors and patterns. Everything from checks and plaid, to flower patterns and bright colors are available. Check Sperry Top-sider for a pair that suits your personal fashion sense. Personally I love these red wellies with navy anchors. Ahoy Matey!
Rain clogs are a comfortable alternative to tall rain boots. Slip right into a pair of sweet clogs and keep your feet warm and dry. Western Chief neoprene rain clogs come in fun patterns such as black with multi-colored polka dots, blue and brown floral and solid colors.
Take a whimsical approach to rainy days. Choose something unusual to express yourself on a dreary day like these wildly patterned, rubber cowgirl boots complete with Western boot heels or these beautiful monarch butterfly inspired rain boots. Paired with a black rain coat, these boots make a fashionable statement without overpowering.
Stay dry and stay safe with a practical umbrella. Bright Night’s lighted umbrellas are more than a cool gadget. Improve visibility when walking on a drab day with one of their innovative and fashionable designs. These umbrellas allow you to be seen from more than a quarter mile away.
