Don’t let those rainy days bring you down! It can be hard to figure out how to style your hair and what to wear when the weather is gloomy. There are many ways to dress up an outfit that keeps you warm, dry and fashionable. Here are a few ideas to brighten up a dreary day with your style!

Simple with Flair: “Jeggings” are a comfortable mixture of jeans and leggings so why not pair them upwith a colorful sweater or long-sleeve shirt?. Add a little flair with a scarf or cute, chunky necklace to dress up that “Plane Jane” attire. Top off your look with an up-do. A messy bun or a high pony with a cute headband prevents your hair from frizzing out in the humidity.

 

Comfy and Classy: For a classy but cozy look, grab your favorite cardigan or blazer and match it with a tank top and necklace. Cardigans can make a casual outfit look sophisticated, while still keeping you warm. If your hair is naturally curly, then let it be! On rainy and humid days, no matter how many times you try to straighten it, it will end up curly. Wavy and curly hair is cute and stylish so let your natural hair flow.

 

Fashionably Casual: If your dying to dress-up on one of these rainy days, but still want to stay warm and dry go with a skirt or a long-sleeved dress and a pair of tights. Try a peter-pan collared shirt with the skirt for a preppy look. Both options allow you look trendy and stay cozy. Straighten your hair and give it a quick run through with a drop of Chi Silk Infusion or other similar anti-frizz hair product for a overall shiny look and soft texture.

 

Quick and Quirky: Need to run through the rain to the class your running late for? Get ready in a matter of minutes. Jeans, boots, a T-shirt, and a of course that eye-popping rain jacket. It will have you repelling the rain and attracting attention.
