Stylish Rain Boots

"Rain, Rain, go away. Come again another day. Boys and girls wants to play. Rain, Rain, go away." That was the nursery rhyme I always recited when the first raindrop falls, hoping that playtime outside won't be cut short and be bored inside. Aside from playtime being interrupted, I also didn't like getting my shoes wet and socks wet! Just feels uncomfortable and the thought of wet socks gives me the shivers.

I was never a fan of rain boots up until about three years ago. Thanks to the advancement in technology and innovative designers, the very industrial and synthetic scent of rubber boots is not as overpowering and some don't even smell like rubber at all. I remember when I was seven years old my mom wanted me to wear a pair of hunter green rubber rain boots for school. And one whiff of the boots I regurgitated my breakfast that day. I know it's gross. Hence, my dislike of rain boots.

Styles and designs of rain boots have also evolved. You can find a pair that will compliment any look. Some rain boots even look like they are not made with rubber. For sure you'll be hoping for rain just to wear your trendy and chic rain boots. Thats what I do, so I can play outside wearing my Gucci rain boots (shown above). Gucci Men's Rain Boot $385.00 Saks.
