The weather in Boston has been far from lovely lately. I can’t remember the last time I saw the sun, since it seems to be pouring every time I venture outside. I have tried to keep my shoes from getting ruined, but there are unavoidable puddles everywhere I turn.
After I saw the effects of the water on all of my leather shoes (even though I water proofed them), I decided it was time to finally buy some new rain gear. I have never liked raincoats or rain boots because I never viewed them as being cute, but it turns out there are actually a lot of fashionable options!
If you’re walking to class during the week or headed out for a day of shopping on Saturday, it’s best to have a casual look. The North Face has a variety of rain jackets that really keep you dry. I personally love the Women’s Resolve Jacket, which is retailed at $80.00. If you want to brighten up your rainy day, opt for this jacket in Octopus Blue or Pink Pearl. Choose a pair of rain boots that have a fun pattern like these Lauren by Ralph Lauren leopard boots or these Merona pink polka dot boots.

For a nighttime event where you’re wearing a cocktail dress, a trench raincoat is more suitable and classic. This Belted Trench Coat from Calvin Klein comes with a removable lining and is water repellant.
Calvin Klein Belted Trench Coat: $164.99
It comes in Black, Champagne, and Red Hot and is $164.99. Another great aspect of this coat is that it comes with a belt, which cinches you in and makes your waist appear smaller. Stay away from the bright colored boots and choose a subdued pair like these black houndstooth boots from Puddleton or these black quilted boots from Hunter.
Hunter-Regent Savoy-Black Quilted Rubber Rain Boot: $175.00
Now that you’ve got your coat and your boots, you just need an umbrella. Lately, I’ve seen a lot of women walking around with the clear umbrellas like this Bubble Umbrella from Target.
Target Bubble Umbrella: $16.99
It’s $16.99 and since it’s see through, you don’t have to worry about it matching the rest of your rain gear!
