Look, we know this whole “ ” forecast is a bit of a bummer. Rumours of “50 days of rain” have been flooding our feeds, dampening everyone’s moods and summer dreams, but before you let out an understandable groan and pack away your sunny staples, the news of a soggy summer need not mean that your outfits have to suffer. If anything, it’s the perfect excuse to style up some of the pieces that may have been sitting at the back of your closet, waiting for their moment in the sun—or rather, rain.
Maybe you bought a designer trench on sale, but just haven’t quite figured out how to style it, or maybe you’re tired of wearing your well-worn wellies the same way. This is your chance to breathe some life into your trusty rain gear—or invest in some new ones—and give them the spotlight they deserve. Take it from these stylish ladies who’ve managed to make wet weather dressing (dare we say it) fun.
From matching accessories to umbrellas to serving infinite inspo for how to style flip flops, they’re proof that with just a few essentials and a sprinkle of creativity, there is such thing as gloomy-day glam. Umbrellas tend to be an afterthought, the unwanted accessory we begrudgingly shove into our purses or drag around town. But what if we made them a part of the outfit? Matching her bright orange parasol with her handbag and socks, Belgian influencer Tine Van Cauwenberghe proves that with a little consideration, the humble tool can actually make the look.
