Waterproof fashion is one of the biggest trends to have come out in the past seasons! Louis Vuitton has done it, and so have Gucci and Prada (to name a few). The key to choosing the right items is to be familiar with the material, especially the fabric. Variations of PVC can be turned into vinyl clothing items or jelly accessories. Coats, shoes, and accessories made from these are quite helpful during the rainy season and will be easy to clean. Plus, a waterproof bag will easily hold all your valuables and keep them dry.

Eye-catching boots are an easy way to level up a rainy-day look. Without having to be too avant-garde, your next pair can be a great way to contrast or complement an outfit. Next time you're shopping, veer away from the usual shades of camel or black and choose something more eclectic that can serve as the statement piece.

There's nothing worse than getting mud or rainwater on the hem of your pants or dress. It might sound counterintuitive, but this rainy season, consider going out in a chic minidress like supermodel Karlie Kloss. Get a little bit cheeky and sexy without having to wear damp clothing throughout the day. And it'll really make you stand out when you're the only one who's not all bundled up.
5. Stylish umbrellas

Treat your umbrella like your best friend and your best accessory. In this ensemble, Heart Evangelista places all the emphasis on her cherry red Kelly bag. The second thing you notice? Her chic see-through umbrella. So invest in one that will complement your outfit and keep you dry. Remember: just because it's functional doesn't mean it can't be fashionable.
