Of all the great things about New York, one drawback can often be the constant showers. During the summer months in particular, a Fashionista/o must be prepared to shift his or her wardrobe to something waterproof at any given moment. Although a rainy day may leave you wishing that you could be home in your pajamas all day, this Fashionista reminds us that, rain or shine, we must dress to impress.
This Fashionista combats the stormy weather by putting a unique twist on a classic jeans and T-shirt look. By adding the sweater, she manages to stay warm while also mixing up a simple look. The real trick, however, comes when she adds the rain boots, umbrella and bag. The boots are a classic black, which can be paired with anything, but because they are glossy instead of matte they are still eye-catching. They allow her to make her way through the flooded streets without having to give a second thought to wet feet or ruined shoes. Her umbrella is also black to match her boots. It looks great while shielding her hair and outfit from the rain. Finally, her bag is made of nylon. This is a smart choice for a rainy day because unlike leather or suede, nylon is waterproof and will not get ruined or discolored if it gets wet.
How To: If you are going for a chic rainy day look, try to buy your rain accessories in neutral colors. Bold looks are great but can get old quickly if it rains multiple days in a row. Also try to match your accessories like this Fashionista matched her boots and umbrella. If you keep your accessories simple and neutral in the rain you will be able to pair them with all of your favorite outfits, no matter the forecast!
