Dressing Stylishly for the Rainy Season

It can be difficult's to dress for the rainy season and a lot of women opt to leave fashion's out of their dressing. This need not be the case. There are lots of fashion forward ways to keep dry and warm during this season. There are a few essential items that should be in every woman’s closet.





Boots are a must-have and come in all styles and colors. Have a pair of good rain boots. These don’t have to be the plain farmer’s girl type. There is now a wider variety of designs and colors in the market to choose from. Go for bold colors or patterns for a playful look. Other boots in your closet should be a pair of flat leather boots or one with a bit of a heel if you love your heels. Of course, remember your walking routine and pick your heel accordingly. No need to ruin your heel getting stuck in the mud! Whether ankle-length, knee-length or thigh-high, boot up this season.










A classic trench coat makes for a sophisticated look. Have one in black, grey or beige for a muted but yet stylish look. You can also liven it up by wearing bolder and brighter colors and patterns. Have some jackets and sweaters as well in your closet.






Scarves and mittens can brighten up an otherwise dull outfit or tone down an already bright one. They are a great and practical accessory. Scarves are generally inexpensive and hence can be bought in bulk. Get them in as many colors  patterns, lengths and fabrics as possible. Mix and match them with your outfits.


Believe it or not, an umbrella is an accessory. That being said, throw away that ugly umbrella in your closet immediately! Nothing ruins a great outfit like a not so great umbrella. You can never go wrong with a classic black umbrella. Make sure to buy a good one that will outlast the season.  For the more adventurous, you can buy cute colorful umbrellas to make a statement.





Layering your clothes is a great technique to use as the weather can oscillate quite a bit during this season going from sweltering hot to freezing in a few hours. Layering allows you to be stylish and at the same time, have options in case the weather changes. A few rules to keep in mind when layering: The thinnest layer of clothing should be worn closest to your skin, do not wear too many layers and the layers should not be the same cut or style. Do not be afraid to wear contrasting colors in your layers! Jeggings, stockings and tights are an easy way to layer a look and are lifesavers as they make it possible to still rock your dresses and skirts without the goose bumps.













Leave your suede and untreated leather at home. The rain isn’t for them. Also, make sure your watch is waterproof. Otherwise, enjoy the rain!
