Unfortunately, rainy days don’t always follow your outfit calendar. Instead of letting the weather ruin your sunny day (or your look), see it as an opportunity to switch things up. Whether you’re sprinting out the door with rain boots and an umbrella or staying in and getting cozy with a book, here are a few outfit ideas to make sure you can make the most of the break from the sun.
For the girl spending her day in the city
Just because the sky is gray doesn’t mean your outfit has to be. Keep the summer vibes alive by putting together your most colorful outfit of the summer. Start with patterned shorts (or printed pants if you’re already embracing the cooler temps), styled with classic loafers or your fave walking shoes. Throw on a trusty T-shirt along with a pastel jacket, then finish with a color-blocked scarf, your go-to purse and a bright umbrella for that instant ray-of-sunshine energy.
For the girl bedrotting with her dog and a book
Rainy days like this are made for spending the day in bed (books open, blankets layered, you know the drill). The ideal outfit is all about coziness: an oversized tank or tee, lightweight pajama shorts or relaxed lounge pants, fuzzy socks and a hoodie layered over top for when (not if) it gets chilly.
For the girl outside puddle-jumping
Some of the cutest childhood memories come from jumping straight into puddles, so why did we ever stop? If the sidewalks are already wet, you might as well commit to the bit by wearing an outfit you don’t mind getting completely soaked. Think colorful rain boots as the statement piece, paired with denim shorts you can easily change out of once the rain passes, along with a comfy crew neck.
For the girl making a coffee run anyway
Linen pants, a white tank and an unbuttoned blouse make the cutest coastal granddaughter-inspired outfit for your next latte run. Throw on some sneakers to keep things functional, and a baseball cap that is fulfilling three tasks at once: Saving you from a bad hair day, preventing a full-blown mascara catastrophe *and* looking cute.
For the girl matching the mood of the weather
Some days the gloom just gets to you, and that’s OK. If you’re in your emo energy, layer a hoodie under a black leather jacket or long trench coat along with black corduroy pants for texture or loose trousers for a more structured feel. Finish off the look with a black umbrella and some wired headphones. The rain won’t last forever, and before you know it, the sun will be back out again!
