I’ve often heard the saying “April showers bring May flowers”.  But, I say April showers bring soggy socks and cold wet feet…unless you happen to be equipped with a great pair of rain boots.  With April right around the corner I’d like to find the perfect ones to invest in.

The search has been narrowed to a few pairs that I think would be great additions to my wardrobe.  Hunter’s Wellington rain boot is a classic which everyone seems to have.  Last Spring they teamed up with Jimmy Choo and created a rain boot that maintained the standard Hunter look while adding a croc embossed texture to the boot and the Choo name to the label. These boots come in multiple colors from standard black to fire engine red as well as short and tall heights.  At $425 these boots are at the pricier end of the rain boot category but worth it because they’re classic enough to last for years to come.      

My edgier side tells me to go for Burberry’s Chain-embellished Wellington boot (pictured above).  The chains give a bit of a punk vibe to the glossy $395 footwear.  For Burberry this is a step away from their traditional preppy plaid pattern that’s typical of their rain boots.  

Last on my list is Fendi’s Graffiti rain boot.  I think it’s a fun option to throw into the mix.   For $225 this colorful print will brighten up any outfit on a rainy day.  This boot also gives you a little bit of height with its 2 inch mini wedge heel.

The hard part is now deciding which one to add to my closet. Which do you like most and why? Drop us a note in the comments section!
