April showers are here, but that doesn’t mean your style has to swirl down the gutter. You can still look stunning without the sun in these classic rainy day accessories that go with your fave spring jackets.
Of course, we’re taking some notes from the Brits. From brollies (umbrellas) to wellies (rain boots), our neighbors across the pond are no strangers to rain gear. But we’ll also give you distinctly American options, so you can choose how to weather the storms.
Check out these modern hats, vintage-style boots, and chic umbrellas that will keep you dry and drop-dead smashing.
Take Cover in a Rain Hat
Rains Boonie Hat
The Boonie Hat from Rains is water-repellant, with a wide brim that will keep your head high and dry. It has an exaggerated silhouette that makes for a striking but classic appearance. We love it for running rainy day errands while still looking tasteful.
Burberry Vintage Check Bucket Hat
Burberry knows that bad weather is no excuse for compromising your style. Embody that iconic Burberry vibe with this Check Cotton Bucket Hat, featuring the emblematic tan, red, black, and white plaid. The comfortable fit made from woven cotton twill will make it your new go-to for staying dry.
Helly Hansen Unisex HH Bucket Hat
For something fresh and contemporary, this Helly Hansen Bucket Hat is simply lovely. It’s reversible, giving you a choice between a wavy mint green and a solid jungle green. It gives you a polished look even in the pouring rain.
OR Seattle Rain Cap
English people know all about rain, but Seattleites are just as well-versed. Outdoor Research is a quintessential brand for many in the Emerald City. This OR Seattle Rain Cap is inspired by our famous-for-its-rain US city and comes in chic colors that keep you dry and cute.
Tilley T1 Waxed Bucket Hat
This Tilley Waxed Bucket Hat has a cozy tartan pattern, giving you an elevated look without being too dressy. It’s casual and naturally water-repellent, with 100% Waxed Cotton. We adore wearing it in every type of weather, from spring showers to summer sun.
The North Face LIGHTRANGE™ Summer Run Hat
We’re not so sure the Brits would be into this. But this North Face Summer Run Hat is certainly a bold look for anyone wanting to bring a pop of color to a grey day. The color-blocked design is playful and modern with a durable water-repellent finish. The mesh on the side might let in some rain, but that’s precisely what will keep you cool on those hot, sunny days, making it one versatile, ventilating hat.
Duck Under These Brollies
Davek Elite Umbrella
The Davek Elite Umbrella combines 21st-century tech with vintage aesthetics. The hooked cane reminds us of Mary Poppins. But we doubt that Mary’s brolly had an auto-open system, wind-tension fiberglass frame, and 70% UV protection!
Burberry Vintage Check Folding Umbrella
Bringing it back to Burberry, this Check Folding Umbrella also features Burberry’s signature plaid, lending a sophisticated touch. The wooden cane gives it a timeless feel while the compact design makes it easy to slip into your purse or coat pocket.
Kate Spade Gingham Garden Clear Umbrella
This Kate Spade Gingham Garden Clear Umbrella has a groovy floral design that will put you in a cheerful mood on a rainy day. Vinyl material is long-lasting and 100% waterproof, and the clear design allows you to look up at the falling rain for an enchanting perspective.
ShedRain Bubble Stick Umbrella
The ShedRain Bubble Stick Umbrella with a Happy Face Flower pattern is another joyful umbrella that will have you skipping through puddles like Shirley Temple dancing with Bill “Bojangles” Robinson in no time. The 36-inch design is spacious enough for two people to huddle under, so you don’t have to spend rainy days alone.
ShedRain Vortex Vent Pro Umbrella
The Virtex Vent Umbrella is all about wind resistance. Grab this for those gusty days, and you won’t have to worry about it blowing inside out. The high-tech design, with an aircraft aluminum shaft, anti-inversion struts, and energy-absorbing shocks, will help you brave the windy storms.
London Undercover Burgundy MacLean Tartan Classic Umbrella
We’re obsessed with the refined, lowkey feel of London Undercover’s Tartan Classic Umbrella. The umbrella’s top is a rich Burgundy, and the interior is a Woven Maclean Tartan pattern — yumm. Such a thoughtful appearance. Complete with a Solid Maple Wood stick, this umbrella is the pinnacle of luxe rainy days.
GustBuster The Metro Umbrella
The Metro is a compact, foldaway umbrella that has a high-end look that will never go out of style. It’s made with a 100% waterproof nylon canopy that will weather any storm but only weighs 1.1 pounds. This is a breeze to carry everywhere you go.
All’s Well When You’re Wearing Your Wellies
Joules Printed Navy Blue Adjustable Tall Wellies
These Tall Wellies from Joules balance sophistication and pizzazz. The paisley botanical pattern in a light blue with a navy background is subtle and endearing. They’re supremely waterproof, with a plush insole to make each step oh-so comfy..
Hunter Original Short Rain Boots
Splash through the streets in these sweet Light Purple Hunter Rain Boots in soft lilac. The 100% waterproof boot keeps your toes dry so you can bucket about in the worst weather. If the lilac hue isn’t your vibe, no worries. It comes in other enticing colors, like mustard Yellow, minty Light Green, and deep Navy blue.
Hunter Original Tall Rain Boot
For a more dramatic look, the Hunter Tall Rain Boot is that boot. It’s a must-have if you plan to trudge through the spring mud and wade through streams with reckless abandon. We’re loving the clay-like Medium Red color, but the vibrant Military Red and delicate Light Natural tan are also exquisite.
Le Chameau Vierzonord Néoprène Lined Boot
Curate a classic English look with these Vierzonord Neoprene Lined Boots, which come in four posh colors: Dark Brown, Black, Iconic Green, and Chameau Green. These are the kind of boots one might wear as they tidy up their flourishing garden on an expansive English estate.
Muck Boot Company Arctic Sport II Mid Boot
You can achieve a sporty and cozy vibe with these Arctic Sport Boots, which have a cherry red buffcheck pattern on the top. The bottom has a ready-for-anything construction. Create warm and cozy looks around these bright boots that are sure to keep you dry and stable on slippery surfaces.
Bogs Holly Chelsea Rain Boots
Rain boots you can wear to the local pub don’t exist. Or do they? These Bogs Holly Chelsea Rain Boots are comparable to stylish booties, so you can wear them to your local, on date night, and even with your favorite spring dresses. Burnt Orange is our favorite, but we’re also eyeing the upscale Green Ash.
Sperry Saltwater 1-Eye Leather Duck Boot
When the puddles are shallow, you can sport these Leather Duck Boots from Sperry. They have the familiar duck boot look but with a low-cut silhouette that works with everything from jeans to skirts to shorts. The suede ties add a preppy, rain-ready touch.
L.L.Bean Bean Boots
We can’t talk about essential rain boots without highlighting the Bean Boots. They’re an icon. L.L. Bean’s signature boots offer incredible performance and durability, with premium full-grain leather and a waterproof, breathable GORE-TEX lining. Strap these on and your feet will never even know it’s raining.
Melissa Pearly Blue Welly
These Melissa Pearly Blue Wellies have our hearts. They’re whimsical and bring a little magic to your rainy days. The slip-on style is easy, and the Pearly Blue hue feels ethereal. There’s a bubblegum scent to deter odor — simply enchanting.
Crocs Handle It Rain Boot
Crocs reinvented waterproof shoes, so of course, they have cool rain boots. The Handle It Rain Boots have a cheeky handle for pulling them on and toting them about. And the boot is made with Crocs’ famous lightweight rubber that will never weigh you down. You can stay light on your feet during the heaviest rain.
