I should have been more attentive when people told me Chicago weather is super inconsistent. Last week, I was laying out on the Quad and pulling out all my crop tops and denim shorts. This week, however, has been consistently 40’s and rainy. What gives?
It can be so hard to pull together a fashion forward outfit when the weather is so gross. While I usually try to look presentable when I’m out and about, this weather has called for leggings and sweatshirts 24/7. While this ensures that I’m comfy, it does not necessarily ensure I’m dry, which is why I’m always on the lookout for comfortable but cute rainy day essentials.
I’m always on the hunt for the perfect lightweight raincoat. I firmly believe that a good raincoat can pull together even the most basic of outfits. This Fashionista has put that belief into practice and mastered the art of dressing comfy and cute during this rainy spell. By tying in her cozy sweater top and ripped jeans with an olive rain jacket, she added a nice pop of color to compliment the gray tones of her outfit. Add the short rain boots and this outfit has officially become rainproof-chic.
What is your STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK? “I always have my rainy day essentials at reach in this unpredictable Chicago weather. Whenever it takes a turn for the worse, I can always count on a cute rain jacket to tie an outfit together.”
