STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Ready for the Rain

An essential in every CollegeFashionista’s wardrobe is a great pair of rain boots. Whether it is raining, snowing, or a combination of both, the rain boot is the perfect way to fashionably endure the weather.

On days when the weather is gloomy, getting up for class is tough enough let alone putting together an outfit. Let your rain boots speak for you! There are so many different styles of boots offered: short, tall, metallic, neon, the list goes on and on! Set yourself apart and get an original pair that is sure to catch people’s eyes. This Fashionista’s Burberry rain boots are the perfect example. The fact that they contain black, white and tan makes them match almost anything! She is letting her boots do the talking by pairing them with a slouchy tee, leggings and an oversized sweater. This look is ideal for fall and can easily transition into winter if she adds and scarf and coat.

One important tip is to ensure the quality of a rain boot before you purchase them. Function is just as important as fashion with these boots. You are guaranteed to find great quality with brands such as Hunters, Sperry Top-Sider, or L.L.Bean.

STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Ready for the Rain

It may seem like those April showers are over, but nothing’s more unpredictable than the weather during New York summers. Summer and rain go hand in hand, and us natives have the good sense to always arm ourselves with an umbrella for protection. Umbrellas are practical for sure, but as with any other accessory, who says they can’t be stylish too?

I spotted this Fashionista heading to class after a light drizzle with a wood handled umbrella in hand. She shows how an umbrella can be a great accessory to add on to your outfit. Although this particular umbrella is not a compact size, it’s built to last and offers maximum protection (and a maximum display of gorgeous plaid pattern). The colors are classic and suit a lot of different tones, so it’s ideal for pairing with a variety of colors – like this Fashionista’s outfit. Her yellow skirt is tiered for a retro appeal, and the cinched waist gives it a personal fit. I like how she accented the high waist with a leopard print belt, giving the skirt a fun, frisky pattern and even more color. The chiffon material is nice enough to style up for a night out or keep it lowkey during the day and pair it with a sweater, as shown here. This Fashionista's sweater is the perfect lightweight knit to belt with a skirt and bare legs for the warmer months. The polished buttons add a sophisticated touch, and it’s perfect to toss on over summery tanks, like her teal one.

Her yellow leather boots help battle those nasty puddles and also show off a classic leather style with an urban twist. They add a bold accent to her outfit and complement her skirt with a slightly darker hue. Her classic trench is sleek and flattering. This must-have outerwear item for the spring is perfect for warm, rainy days and will never go out of style.

So, rainy day women, shield yourselves this spring with a fashionable umbrella. There are a variety of cute and colorful patterns and styles to choose from: polka dots, gingham, and even heart shapes! Topshop offers an adorable dark pink bunny print umbrella with a crook handle. Umbrellas protect against the elements in a functionable and fashionable way, and they bring something extra to your outfit. Fight the rain!
