Fashion Focus – Rain Boots
Wellington boots, wellies, rain boots, whatever it is you choose to call them, we are certainly now well into the season when these become an indispensable part of your wardrobe. This could be because you love to walk your dog over open fields and park land, or maybe you work in an outside environment that gets rather muddy, or maybe, like me, these are now a staple for watching your child football training in all weathers, including, last Saturday, in the biting wind and rain. I must admit that I love the fun and practicality of wearing my wellies, and have quite a few pairs in my wardrobe.
My Wellies
There are so many great styles and brands when you are looking for women’s rain boots, the rather functional or childlike designs of the past, which either looked like they were designed for farmers, or for splashing in puddles, have given way to glossy designs, with cute patterns and prints, and more stylish, feminine shapes. Brands like Hunter have made wellies cool, a part of festival fashion that helps revelers to cope with the inclement British weather (and all that mud!). Joules is another company that makes rain boots actually look pretty, with dots and stripes that work well worn over jeans, or even Land Girls style with a tea dress and cardigan.
Even designers are now getting into the act, with both Tommy Hilfiger, Michael Kors and Ralph Lauren offering super stylish versions of the once humble rain boot. None of us are ever that glad to see the rain, but these designs certainly help to brighten up the day in some small part.
Cuterainboots.net are currently offering you the chance to choose the best rain boots brand but picking between Hunter and Joules. It is easy to enter the competition, and you could win a pair of rain boots of your choice. (Terms and conditions apply – please check the website). This would certainly get your feet prepared for Winter and any snow we might get.
Do you wear wellies or rainboots? What are your favourite brand?

Wellies are just great for this time of year. I wear muck boots at the moment, from Joules. Kind of half a boot with laces, really comfy but not as quick to get on. Thanks for sharing 🙂

OMG, I love the spotty joules ones. I will send to OH with a big xmas gift hint.

I love the polka dot wellies! I have a pair of Minnie Mouse ones from Disneyland Paris and they’re so comfy!

I do love a pair of wellies for taking the dog up to the woods. I also have a pretty smelly collection fro T in the Park and other music festivals somewhere in my attic! 🙂
