Instead of heavy jackets, layer your outfits with lightweight fabrics such as cardigans or trench coats that can be easily removed when the rain stops.
2. Invest in raincoats and quality umbrellas
If you're not mobile and depend on public transport to move around, you'll get beaten by the rain at some point.
To avoid this, get yourself a good raincoat or a strong umbrella. For the raincoats, look for vibrant colours or trendy prints to add a pop of excitement to your rainy-day ensemble.
3. Rock waterproof footwear
Having to deal with damaged shoes courtesy of the rain can be extremely disheartening especially when a lot of money went into purchasing the pair of shoes.
To keep this from happening, opt for waterproof shoes or boots to protect your feet from getting wet. Rubber or PVC boots are practical and can still be stylish.
4. Embrace colourful accessories
The cold weather can sometimes cast a gloomy mood, making everything seem sad and unpleasant.
Brighten up rainy days with colorful accessories like umbrellas, scarves, and hats. Choose vibrant patterns and prints to uplift your mood.
5. Avoid floor-length outfits
The last thing you want to deal with while you battle with the rain on your way home or out is having to pull up your maxi skirt or dress up so as to avoid having wet hemlines.
To avoid mud and dirt splashes, avoid wearing long, flowy skirts or dresses that may get wet and dirty. Opt for knee-length or above-the-knee outfits instead.
6. Opt for cropped pants
If you're more of a pants' gal then you might want to stay off the bootcuts and palazzos.
When it's drizzling, cropped pants or culottes are a great choice. They offer protection from splashes while keeping you comfortable and fashionable.
7. Carry a stylish tote bag
Rather than stick to a trendy choice which could be smaller and therefore unable to house all your items, opt for a leather tote bag.
Look for options made from waterproof materials that can keep your belongings safe.
8. Hair protection
And the last but not the least, do not forget about keeping your hair protected from the rain.
Style your hair in protective hairstyles like braids, twists, or updos to prevent frizz and maintain your hairstyle during rainy days.
Additionally, a stylish hat or headscarf can keep your hair dry and add an extra touch of style.
