Fun patterns or colors on the feet can liven up any otherwise dull outfit or day. Footwear is the perfect place to take a risk, and a bold, unique rainboot will not only keep you dry but also keep your style interesting.

Many synthetic and patent leathers are naturally water resistant. With plenty of styles and silhouettes in the (faux) leather jacket department, they are the perfect choice for an elevated, day-to-night coat that can resist the rain.

Start thinking of umbrellas as more than just a shield from the rain. Choosing a stylish umbrella that complements your outfit can complete your overall look and signal that you put extra thought and effort into your style.

As it slowly warms up, and there may be days with a slight sprinkle or mist, opt for a windbreaker. The light, wind, and waterproof jacket adds an effortless, sporty chic vibe to on-the-go looks.
So don’t let April showers cramp your style; enjoy the drizzle while it’s here. After all, changing seasons means changing outfits.
