Not many people look forward to rainy days, but it’s easy to make the most of dreary weather when you’ve got a pair of chic rain boots in your arsenal. There’s nothing worse than wet feet on city streets—but on the flip side, there’s nothing better than trekking through a bunch of puddles and arriving to work with completely dry feet. I have no idea why I find it so gratifying to step in deep puddles when I’m wearing a sweet pair of stylish rain boots…it’s as if I feel the need to test their waterproofing abilities every single time I wear them.

I can’t help but have a couple pairs of rain boots in my closet at all times. If you’re on the hunt for a pair, fall in love with my favorites out there right now. Check them out in the slideshow.
