6 Ways to Look Chic When It's Raining Cats and Dogs

For when you can't just hole up and drink red wine


You basically deserve a trophy for getting dressed and out into the world when it's gray and pouring outside. We can't give you one, but we can provide pretty outfit inspo that proves precipitation is not a fashion death sentence. Read on to see how to stay stylish (and dry!) when the skies open.

                                

1. Cover up 
You can't go wrong with a lightweight trench coat. It's one-part rain protector, one-part preppy style must-have.

2. Don't Drag
Cuffed or cropped jeans that don't skim the ground are perfect for rainy days; a cool hat and treated jacket keep your top half dry.

3. Puddle Proof Your Feet
Galoshes are a must for navigating puddles and splashes. This casual-chic look also works perfectly with a warm duck boot, like Sperry's Saltwater Quilted Duck Boots, which come in a variety of colors to match any outfit.
