6 of the cutest rain boots for spring

April showers might bring May flowers, but they also bring cute rain boots!

Let’s be honest: It’s hard to be fashionable when it’s pouring rain. But thanks to this season’s selection of fun, colorful rain boots, dressing for the weather doesn’t have to mean dressing unstylishly.

Because I live and work in downtown Chicago, I don’t have a car. That means my feet take me everywhere I need to go. So while I love wearing heels and fun sandals during the spring and summer, I just can’t wear them on rainy days. (I’ve spent too many work days with cold, wet feet!)

The perfect rain boots are comfortable (depending on how many errands I have to run, I can clock a few miles of walking a day!), durable and unfailingly waterproof. If you’re in the market for some new ones, check out the cute options below:

1. Boots with bows

The bows on these boots add a sweet, feminine touch.

2. Boots in fun colors

Brighten up a drizzly day by sporting coral, marigold, baby blue or another cheery color.

3. Boots in fun prints

Pick from polka dots, stripes, florals–even puppies!

4. Boots with heels

Just because it’s raining doesn’t mean you can’t wear heels. These red ones from Kate Spade pack a punch.

5. Edgy boots

Show your rockstar style with these studded beauties. They come in red and black.

6. Rain flats

Some days, you just don’t feel like wearing boots. Maybe it’s too hot, or you can’t bring a pair of shoes to change into once you arrive at your destination. On those days, these flats are a cute option.
