It’s that time of year again, and by that I mean the rain is being thrashed upon us. Unfortunately, the only thing we can do about it is hope and pray we make it from the pit without getting completely drenched. t is possible, however, to stay fashionable and dry during these April showers.

The number one piece of rain gear you need is  rain boots. They are a great essential to have in your closet. Pair colored ones with leggings and a sweater on a lazy day or short, black ones with jeans and a blouse if that’s more your style. Whether you stand out in bright Hunters or opt for a classic pair of black, matte boots, nothing is worse than wet socks and shoes.

The next essential rainy day item is a rain jacket. There’s so many different styles it’s possible to get one for every type of outfit. If you’re the more chic type, a cropped trench coat looks great in any season. Or if you’re style is more athletic, The North Face makes a great lightweight jackets to keep you dry. Although my personal favorite is a monogrammed full or half zip jacket. They look super cute with a personalized touch.

Last but not least, don’t forget your umbrella. Kate Spade offers and adorable striped one. So, no matter how rainy and stormy it is, always make sure to stay classy!
