Our top rainy day must-haves will keep you stylishly in the downpours
You’ve planned your outfit for the next day, and you’re feeling organised for once – until you wake up in the morning, and find that it’s raining. What now?! It can be tricky to know how to style out a downpour, but thankfully, this season’s trends lend themselves to helping you stay stylish in any weather.
This season’s trends mean that messy hair, comfy boots and longer-length dresses are all in right now – just as well, with the ever-changing British weather! Colourful macs and comfy boots will enhance your outfit and keep you dry. Just stay away from the other big trends of the season – denim and suede – as we all know that neither will fare well during a downpour!
Make sure your accessories are on-trend as well: A bright umbrella and cross-body bag are essential for making it through a rainy day with ease. Finally, finish off your new spring style with a relaxed parka and you know that you will look good this season, whatever the weather.
