This fall has brought an ample amount of rain to the Forest, and more than a few girls and guys have been battling it out in flats, flip-flops and even Uggs.
We can hardly blame you. The rain doesn’t exactly make it easy to dress appropriately.
Luckily, we’ve got you covered with a few tips on shoes to wear when the weather is, well, soggy.
Tired of the uniform, knee-grazing silhouette of most rain boots? Try a lower profile.
Plenty of fashion retailers, from Zappos to Bloomingdale’s, sell calf-and-ankle-length rain boots. Vivienne Westwood’s got a fab pair of gold glitter fleck ankle-booties created through a sustainable, fair-trade, vegan shoe company called Melissa ($150, edgeofurge.com).
For those upscale girls, Burberry makes an immaculate pair of buckle-detailed Wellington boots that I’ve had my eye on for awhile.
For $250 (net-a-porter.com), they’re about as reasonable as that $299 pair of Uggs you probably whip out whenever the weather’s got you down. Yet, these boots are so chic and simple you may be tempted to wear them even when the weather doesn’t warrant an umbrella.
