Weather in Atlanta is often unpredictable. It doesn’t rain for weeks, and then suddenly campus falls victim to an apocalyptic downpour that makes Asbury Circle seem like Noah’s Ark.
If you’re from the West Coast, you probably didn’t have a need for rain boots prior to school, and if you hail from the East Coast, you probably already own a pair of Hunter boots.
There’s no denying the popularity of Hunter boots. They’re great; they keep your feet dry and come in a variety of solid colors. However, there are many other rubbery-footed options available for shoppers. Designers are producing many new styles of rain boots this season, modeled to look almost indistinguishable from everyday boots. Here are some stylish rain boot alternatives:
Motorcycle rain boots, for the biker-caught-in-rain look:
• Stormette Motorcycle Rain Boot by KORS Michael Kors
See-through rain boots, for those naughty gals:
• Fessura Rain Boot
Heeled & wedge rain boots, for when you want to dress up a dreary rainy day outfit:

Stay dry, stay stylish.
