The rain that we are known for in the Pacific Northwest is here and I’ve been thinking about getting a new pair of rain boots.  Style, as well as function, is important if I’m going put aside my cute suede and leather shoes when I go out on rainy days.

Most people think of rain boots for practical purposes…to protect their feet from inclement weather…but rain boots need not be boring or plain.  Classic Wellingtons, such as those made by Hunter, are very popular and never go out of style.   But if you want to be more adventurous, you may want to check out some other styles that are available, ranging from cute ankle boots to knee-high rain boots with heels.

Here are some fun and stylish rain boots that will brighten your day even under rain bursting clouds!

Sperry Top-Sider Sausalito. Also available in yellow or black patent leather.

 

Kate Spade – Randi. Also available in black rubber.

 

See by Chloe Purple Rain Boot. Also available in navy rubber.

 

Aigle Bergen. Also available in black.

Burberry – Check Lace Print Rainboots (Nutmeg) – Footwear

Even though rain boots are made to weather the elements, they are susceptible to wear and tear, especially at the seams.  I have found that the less expensive rain boots tend to do this. Spending a little more for a well-made rain boot is a good investment and will last for several seasons. Even still, well-made rain boots are very affordable and can usually be found in a price range of $60-$200.

 

I’ve noticed that many of the new Fall shoes are adorned with bows, ruffles, and flowers, making them, oh so feminine!   So, when I came across these lovely peep toe pumps by Kate Spade, they really got my attention.

I adore the feminine detailing on this shoe and there are no bows or ruffles to speak of.   Don’t misunderstand; I love those adornments as much as the next girl, but they are everywhere! Here’s something a little different to get your attention.   Pretty scalloped and perforated edges line the toe and heel.   It’s a subtle feminine detail without the ornamentation of bows and such.   The mix of black smooth leather and caramel suede leather also adds interesting texture and depth.   It is finished off by a sexy peep toe with hidden platform and high heel.   These 2 tone pumps will dress up your work wardrobe and take you from day to evening in classic style.

Kate Spade shoes are a bit of an investment but, if you are able to splurge on these, the quality and the versatility of this shoe means it will last a long time and you will be able to wear it often.    The Kate Spade Gladly Pump is available at Zappos.    If you prefer this shoe without the suede, Endless also carries it in black/camel with all smooth leather upper.
