The snow banks have melted and the wind chill has blown away. Spring is here and it’s time to enjoy! No more turtlenecks, down filled coats, mitts, hats or boots. But it’s not quite time to bust out your bikini either. In fact, the rite of passage to earn your sun-filled summer entails suffering through a week (or two) of rainy days. Don’t let the dark skies get you down. Challenge the weather and still look your best.Wet and soggy is never a good look. If it is raining don’t try to ignore it. Work with it!
Step 1 – Get the Right Coat. For work a waterproof or water resistant trench coat is the best way to go.
Look for something that falls just above the knee, is belted and tailored. If you are feeling more relaxed or the rain is more intense, a good old fashioned rain coat is never the wrong choice. You can stay dry and stay stylish at the same time.
Step 2 – Get the Right Accessory. Not only is an umbrella practical (protects your highly styled hair from the rain) it is also fun! Pick something with bright colours or a great pattern to bring life to a drab day.
Step 3 – Get a pair of Rubber Boots. A few years ago rubber boots were available only at hunting, fishing and garden centres and they came in yellow or black. Now you can get fantastic boots ranging from designer to discount labels in every combination of colour and pattern. There is no excuse not to own a great pair of rain boots. You should never start your day with soggy feet.
No shoe, synthetic or leather, can stand up to the abuse of puddles and soaked sidewalks. Get yourself a great pair of rain boots and even on the darkest days they’ll put a spring in your step!
