As you've probably heard, California is in the midst of a drought, but it is the year of El Niño soooo there's going to be more rain than usual, therefore it might actually make sense to have a pair of rainboots and an umbrella (seriously, there are so many people who don't even own umbrellas here, that's how rarely it rains).
No matter where you are from, though, chances are it's going to rain sometime in the near future, so make sure you are prepared for sidewalk puddles and all that fun stuff with a pair of cute rainboots! Because stormy weather is not an excuse to not look cute.

What's your go-to rainy weather outfit?

| J. Crew Chelsea Rain Boots ($68) |
Let’s make one thing clear: it never rains in southern
California. But oh, when it rains, it pours. And for the record I absolutely
detest the rain, not so much because it makes everything wet and gloomy but
more prominently because I lack the proper footwear for such weather. You see, because it never rains in California I
cannot justify the purchase of a pair of Hunters or Wellingtons that will
rarely see the light of day.
Instead I’m left to fend for myself and hop over puddles in
leather boots that inevitably get ruined but are the only shoes I own that
could possibly withstand the rain.
Perhaps someone out there (there being the J. Crew design
studio, naturally) has heard my desperate pleas for a shoe that is suitable for
the rain but can maybe be worn even when the weather is lovely, because J. Crew
has just unveiled a slew of rain boots that I could totally justify purchasing.
The concept is simple: take the ever stylish Chelsea boot
shape and do it up in water-resistant rubber. Color it in classic shades (navy,
olive, and black) and maybe throw in a pair of leopard-print boots just for
kicks (haha, get it, cause they’re shoes), and let the shoppers go wild.
Don’t get me wrong, I think Hunters are chic but they are so
obviously rain boots. With these boots, you can wear them in the rain and look
more adorable than any other sad sap with an umbrella, but you can also wear
them just walking around town and most people will probably assume they are
just great patent leather Chelsea boots. We won’t tell!
Would you wear these
chic rain boots out and about?
