With the first day of spring around the corner, just the prospect of green grass, sunny days and floral dresses is enough to put a huge grin on my face. Unfortunately, in many cities across the U.S. spring means rain, rain, and more rain. While spring showers may not be the ideal weather, they sure beat the cold (and snow!) Rain got you down? This adorable rain gear is certain to keep you dry and smiling from ear to ear!
Umbrellas
Avoid wet, frizzy hair and a drenched outfit with these great umbrellas, sure to keep you dry regardless of how hard it’s pouring.
I’ve been coveting this umbrella since I first saw someone using it on campus last year. Stay protected from the wind and sideways rain with this fabulous clear bubble umbrella. I love the yellow, but Target sells this beauty for just $17 in six different colors. Or, check out this other style with a thick stripe trim instead.
Looking for something brighter? Make a spring statement with this beautiful purple umbrella from umbrellas.net. With 35 inches of coverage you’ll definitely stay dry!
Need to pretend you’re under clear blue skies? Invest in this sky umbrella from the Museum of Modern Art and you’re all set!
Raincoats
Imagining a shiny plastic, knee-lenght tarp? Wipe that image out of your mind and snag one of these adorable coats instead!
You can’t go wrong with a classic trench. Although hundreds of different variations exist, I love this hooded London Fog one, available at Nordstroms for $118.
Prefer patterns? Rock this orange floral coat from Lands End – on sale for just $30!
Who can hate the rain when they’re wearing this bright and classic marigold trench from modcloth? Not us!
Rainboots
Splashing in puddles isn’t just for little kids. Have no fear of getting your toes wet in these adorable wellies.
Target has more than 100 different pairs of rainboots, all for less than $30. My favorites? The lime green, the multicolored raindrop pattern and the houndstooth.
The Hunter boot is a classic. Check out the Huntress in a bright baby pink or the short boot , available in purple, black, brown, blue, green and red.
For a different look, rock these Tretorn Sofiero Rain Boots. We love the bright orange tie! Or, a bit pricey, but this patterned Burberry boot has us practically drooling.
Whatever raingear you’re wearing this spring, stay dry and remember – April showers bring May flowers!
