Summer is drawing near here in Atlanta but it doesn’t seem like Summer has been here at all. It’s rained almost everyday over the past two months, giving us the feeling that we live in Seattle. I’ve never owned a pair of rain boots but I think it’s about time. Rain boots these days aren’t like the boots you had when you were a child or your grandmothers. Take a look at some stylish rain boots that will cheer you up when its dreary out!
Getting ziggy with it
The zig zag trend continues to be big this year. We love this option because the fun texture on the zig zag pattern is a nice play on a current trend. Plus with a faux fur lining, you can start wearing these rain boots in the winter to shovel snow. The Sak Coco Zig Zag Rain Boot, DSW, $45
Go a little dotty
These black rain boots kick up the fun factor a notch with bright polka dots. The multicolored design makes it easy to coordinate with an assortment of outfits — perfect for some quick Saturday chores in the garden before heading over to the farmer’s market. Capelli Women’s Bright Dots Rain Boots, Bed Bath & Beyond, $25
Seeing stripes
Up the chicness level with a mid-calf boot in stripes. The combination of the stripes and polka dot prints keep this two-toned boot from looking anything but boring. The non-skid tread on the toe and heal will keep you from slipping and sliding on crummy weather days. Women’s Merona Zacari Striped Rain Boot, Target, $33
A whales tale
Pretend you’re on vacay in Nantucket gazing at all the hydrangeas in these adorable whale print boots. The light accent color keeps the boots looking fresh, but the dark blue base keeps it from being too girly. Women’s Merona Zenia Whales Rain Boots, Target, $30
Pretty in purple
If gloomy weather is getting you down, pull on a pair of these pretty wellington boots. The pale lavender and light blue color combo will make you instantly feel like spring is almost here. Laura Ashley Women’s Elegance Pale Lavender Rubber Wellington Boots, Overstock.com, $39
Plaid perfection
We love the combination of this classic plaid pattern accented with a feminine color. If you have a hard time finding boots that properly fit your calves, you’ll want to check out the adjustable width buckle on these. Plus, how cute would these look with a set of pink gardening tools?
