No, the rain will not ruin our style! Staying stylish in oilskin and rain boots is absolutely possible and if you still doubt it, we promise to prove you wrong right here.
1. We invest in a beautiful oilskin
Let's face it, the rain puts our spirits in our socks and doesn't really make us want to put in the effort in terms of style. But that was before ! While we thought the raincoat and rain boots only reserved for children, fishermen or gardeners, we discover this season with surprise that they are back on the front of the fashion scene. The oilskin has even become the fashion must-have of the moment and the brands keep reinventing this classic by glamorizing it. Polka-dot, floral, colorful, animal print or transparent, the famous K-way has never been so stylish!
> What do we wear it with?
- We favor cuts with adjusted legs and we rather turn to slim jeans or 7/8 pants to avoid ending up with the bottom of the pants soaked.
- We bring out our dresses and skirts that we prefer to associate with opaque tights. It dries faster than jeans!
- If you're not a fan of rain boots, go for a pair of chunky-soled sneakers or a pair of ankle boots.

2. We love trendy rain boots
We no longer believed in it and yet, rain boots are indeed back! But beware, we are not talking about the duck yellow rubber boot that we wore as a child to play in puddles, we are talking about the new models now available on the market. Much more chic and stylish models that go perfectly with the trendy pieces of the moment! If the it-girls of the moment have a preference for high boots from the Hunter brand, the rain boots can also be worn shorter, much like ankle boots. There are colorful, glitter or even crocodile effect to be at the forefront of fashion.
> What do we wear them with?
- We prefer slim pants, tight at the legs. Bet on materials that do not retain water, such as waxed or faux leather pants.
- If you do not opt for the oilskin, you can bring out your timeless long cotton trench coat or why not a khaki parka.
- Don't forget the little detail that makes all the difference: the socks. Choose socks with sequins, tulle or embroidered with cute little prints.
3. We don't forget the accessories
To give more character to your look, think about accessories! To highlight your figure, you can for example belt your oilskin. You will see, that changes everything! If you don't feel like carrying an umbrella, why not try the hat on? A beret, a hat or even a waxed-effect bob, a big trend of the season. Be careful not to end up with soaked hair, we advise you to style your hair in a low bun. The rendering will be even more canon!
> What accessories are we betting on?
- A belt that will make all the difference: a chain belt, a leather belt with a big buckle or a belt stamped with the logo of your favorite brand.
- A trendy and original umbrella: we can only recommend the transparent umbrella, much more chic than the others!
- A bob, THE trendy hat of the season. Be careful with the material chosen, we prefer nylon or imitation leather, two resistant, flexible and waterproof materials.
