Spring's Best Rain Boots

April showers bring May flowers -- and a fresh crop of waterproof boots. Fashionistas will have to wait until June for the faux crocodile pair that is a collaboration between Jimmy Choo and Hunter, and even then there is a waiting list on both sides of the Atlantic. (Perhaps the post-rainy season delay is due to Jimmy Choo founder Tamara Mellon's admission that she was inspired by music festival goers, a la Kate Moss at the Glastonbury Festival, which doesn't take place until the summer.)

If you can't wait until then, don't fret, there are plenty of high style options available now. Our favorite recent find is a pair by Marc by Marc Jacobs, which come in black with a variety of rainbow trim options for only $28.

Gallery: Five shoes - Rain boots

An awesome pair of rain boots aren't going to make you hope for rain, sure, but they definitely can make your rainy days a little more fun. Maybe it's because rain boots remind us of childish puddle hopping, or the fact that most rain boots are essentially colorful plastic and rubber so they're an inexpensive way to play with color and pattern. Whatever the reason, let the rain be an excuse to add some pop to your wardrobe!

Rainy days need not be frumpy days with this high-fashion boot from Marvin K. Volt in shiny grey faux-croc leather. We'd personally be a little, oh, reluctant to step into a puddle in boots that cost this much, but they promise to be 100% weatherproof - and they say you get what you pay for, right?

Shoes of the Day: Cesare Paciotti White Rain Boots

Email thisPosted Mar 6th 2008 at 11:01AM by Sarah J. Gim

It's almost Spring, which means you can get the very last use out of winter clothes, or forge ahead and wear your new spring things. Of course, you can also try for something right int he middle, like white rain boots.

Cesare Paciotti's White Dagger rain boots are boots, which I always associate with cool weather, but they are bright white, perfect to wear with all the bright new colors for Spring. The boots are rubber on the bottom (where it matters), and jacquard fabric on top, featuring a white leather trim and oduble silver dagger accessory at the opening.

The boots are available from Bluefly for $249.99.

Shoes of the Day: "Big Brown Bag" Rainboots

We know that rubber rain boots ~~are~~ were all the rage, and boots in bold, bright colors or with wild prints in particular. Bright red? Yep. Purple plaid? Sure. Even little koi fish? Why not?

But Bloomingdale's has gone a little crazy with their rubber rain boots printed with their signature "big brown bag." The miniature bags are printed on a light background, there's a lug sole, and a buckle to adjust the calf-width.

If you love Bloomingdale's the way it seems Bloomingdale's loves Bloomingdale's, the rainboots are available online for $60.

Shoes of the Day: Burberry Knit-Cuff Rain Boot

Oh, whom are we kidding? It doesn't ever rain in Los Angeles. And that 11 hours of mist in the middle of February that halts the entire city because "OMG! It's raining!" isn't really rain.

Still, we'd love to have the Burberry Knit-cuff Rain Boot for those days when the sprinkler systems on the front lawn get a little out of control. The black rubber boot has a lug sole and flat heel, and features Burberry's signature beige, black and red print on the knit cuff that folds over the top. It's Burberry alright, but a little less subtle than the rain boots that are made entirely of rubber in the same beige check print (which we also love).

Available from Neiman Marcus for $210.

Stay dry during the next rainy day

Here in Athens, today is the first cold (a chilly 65°) and rainy day of the fall season. And while I was downtown earlier, I really started to take notice of the way people arm themselves from the dreary characteristics of such a day: lots of umbrellas (of every shape and pattern), raincoats, and specialized footwear that ultimately all looked the same.

It's time for you to get prepared for these days that are sure to come, and in doing so, standing out just a bit. First things first -- girls, got wet feet? Try these Burberry rain boots, the classic Burberry pattern is much better than the pink and white polka dot pair I saw this morning. Guys, I strongly suggest that you don't wear rain boots, unless your job calls for it (i.e. you work in the mud) -- bad stylefoul.

And while there's not much for "stylish" rain jackets that aren't too gawky, Patagonia has tons of toned-down options for you guys and you gals. They're a bit pricey, but for a reason. Incredible color selection as well. For girls, the Rubicon. For guys, the Chute to Thrill.
