Every week, we bring you the best shoppable fashion and lifestyle stories from the editors at InStyle.com, including these chic rainy-day pieces [1].
From snow storms to April showers, it looks like Mother Nature isn't letting up any time soon. But instead of letting the elements bring us down, we're planning to weather anything that's hurled our way, from small-scale sprinkles to full-on rainstorms — but in the chicest way possible, of course. We waded through a pool of all kinds of rainy-day essentials and came up with the most playful and most sophisticated pieces around.
Take cover under cheery (and cheeky!) umbrellas, like Kate Spade's "Rain Check" [2] one. For those extra-puddle-prone days, slip on rain boots we found at every height, from knee-high metallics to sleek ankle booties. And we know all too well how stifling wellies can get in warmer temps, so we added grown-up jelly flats in the form of fluro ankle-strap sandals and printed loafer slippers.
