Make it rain but make it fashion. Basking under the sun on a beach is fine and good but jumping on puddles, when you have the right gear, can’t be beaten.

When we see some storm clouds, we can only see silver linings – and a reason to go to accessory shopping. Perfect time to upgrade everyday OOTD and this is where these waterproof clothing essentials come to play. Let SM show you chic rainy-day accessory essentials to stay high and dry:

Raincoats, water proof jackets. Rainy day clothing essentials are the raincoats, water proof jackets and parkas. It may not be our first thing to grab but a sturdy hood, sealed seams, good breathability will surely save you weather any storm. Be it the classic clear raincoat to still show off that trendy outfit underneath or a waterproof jacket with a pop of color here or there to accentuate your outfit. A good investment on raincoat goes a long way.

Umbrellas. Not everyone has a raincoat on hand or likes to wear one, so umbrellas dominate as a rainy-day clothing essential. The importance of a dependable umbrella can’t be understated. It should not only protect you from stormy weather but it should be designed to last, too. Have a compact, lightweight umbrella to keep in your bag or a larger one to share with special someone.

Waterproof bags/backpack. Look for waterproof bag you can carry comfortably all-day. Having a water-resistant backpack is without doubt a benefit that will come in handy for all the inevitable wet days ahead. Look for details like waterproof zipper or fold over top closure, pockets, carrying straps, rubberized bottom, separate shoe compartment and reflective prints to organize your essentials and for easy access.

Rain boots, Crocs. Everybody needs a good foot wear that are easy to slip on or kick off and are completely waterproof on wet weathers like this. There are a number of good rain boots available in your nearest SM malls that will keep your feet dry, that way you won’t squish each time your feet hit the ground. Look for a slightly higher ankle area that will help keep water to splash on your legs and added traction keeps you from slipping in slick conditions.

Crocs also make an excellent rain footwear because they are lightweight, comfortable, easy to slip into and out of and dries of easily. They are also breathable, promote circulation, and have enough room to avoid compression of the toes. The Crocs™ brand stands for innovation, fun and comfort for people who want shoes that conform to their personalities and lifestyles, as well as to their feet.
