Hate the Rain? These 16 Stylish Rain Boots Might Change Your Mind

by Anna LaPlaca

If you live in an area prone to downpours, then you know the struggle of dressing stylishly for wet weather. Do you just wear a hoodie and call it a day, or do you opt for a long trench coat? When it comes to dressing for the rain, we consistently find ourselves wondering how those who deal with year-round rain manage to put their outfits together so seamlessly.

But it’s our footwear that usually puzzles us in this situation.
