If you are one of 12 people left on the east coast of Australia instead of thriving in the European heat this winter, my condolences to you, and also to myself as I am one of 12. It’s not just cold, but here in Sydney it rains relentlessly. A day of sunshine equals a full week of rain right now, and it’s safe to say we’re sick of the humidity. In the unenthusiastic spirit of this, we finally succumb to proper attire and by necessity incorporate rain boots into our wardrobe.
From timeless Hunter wellies to Bottega Veneta’s modern take on wellies with their Puddle boots, we’re rounding up the styles we’re coveting right now. There are giant Balenciaga track-soled ankle boots for those ready for the rain, and Prada ankle boots with soft, all-rubber soles. Off-White even has a pair to tell you exactly when to wear them, with “FOR RAINY DAYS” printed on the side.
If, like us, you’re finally ready to gear up for the rain, here are our favorite rain boots, below.
