Spring is a wonderful season. The birds are singing, flowers are popping up and everyone starts to shake off the winter blues. There is one downside though- rain and mud. A lot of it. Fortunately, it doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice style. I’ve rounded up some rainy day gear that’s all under $50.

The yellow rain slicker is timeless and classic ($35 totes-isotoner.com), but the transparent polka dot one is a lot of fun ($47 zulily.com).

You’ve got to love classic, prep style rain boots ($36 amazon.com, $40 6pm.com). I included the floral ones too ($26 yesstyle.com) because of course, April showers bring May flowers!

I have a thing for patterned umbrellas ($23 accessorize.com, $44 verabradley.com) because not only will it be harder to misplace yours, but it’s an easy way to incorporate some cheerful color on a dreary day.

Rain hats may seem a little silly ($18 johnlewis.com), but if your hair reacts to humidity like mine does, owning one will change your life.

 

Happy shopping and stay dry!
