100 Rainy Day Essentials

From Radiant Rain Boots to Chic Rain Gear

— August 16, 2013 — Lifestyle
There's nothing worse than being caught in a rain storm and having nothing with you to keep you dry, that's why these rainy day essentials are offering some great tips on how to prepare yourself for a depressingly wet day outside.

The moment you notice that storm clouds are coming in, you should start preparing yourself to face a day of rain or shine, and that means having all your necessary gain gear at your disposal. While having an umbrella is definitely one way to shield yourself from the rain, making sure to have other types of rain gear such as waterproof shoes, ponchos and protective clothing will make enduring the harsh weather a much easier task.

From transforming rain boots to storm-safe umbrellas, these rainy day essentials will have you prepared to face any kind of wet weather that comes your way.
