    Living in London you get used to the rain, the best why i stay stylish and sexy is to use a big bright colour umbrella one that matches the colour clothes im wearing, i don't wear a hood as it messes up your hair i let my umbrella protect it, and i smile as well, keep a big smile on your face because if you clothes look a mess but you got a huge smile it shows you got a sense of humour and is enjoying it, even if you are hating it.

    If all fails don't go our, or if you have to walk as close as you can to the buildings on the Street

    I wear patent leather pumps, I don't wear hose on the days I know it will rain because it is easier to dry skin than hose or clothing. Although I will keep a pair of silk stockings available if the weather clears.

    I wear a very stylish water repellent waist tied thigh length coat with a V-neck so that others can get a glimpse of any pretty items I am wearing beneath the coat One of the blouses I wear on a rainy day is a beautiful blue silk satin which perks me up.

    My favorite umbrella is mushroom shaped and clear so that I can cover myself completely keeping my makeup and hair completely dry.

    I also smile. Can't wear anything more attractive than a smile, rain or shine.

    High top leather sneakers/boots (either of them work fine in puddles). Nice long trench coat (I hate raincoats, ick). A unique warm winter hat, and throw in a cool scarf. Don't forget the umbrella! And no, not the worthless dollar store umbrellas that break within 5 minutes of use. Instead of buying 20 of those a year, why not invest $20 on an umbrella that will actually work?

    I'd say a coat and a larger Jacket over it. Raincoats look dumb. A hat, and a nice pair of waterproof shoes. Don't run around franticlly because you don't wanna get wet, that'll just make you look weird. Act like Neo from the Matrix and just strut like there is no rain and it's just another day. Matching colors would help too.

    For a simple matter, you can just throw some colors on your raincoat. Here's how to do it :

    1. Take a cheaply made piece of cloth with your desired colour, which has a reputation of losing the colors when washed repeatedly.

    2. Put it for a wash.

    3. As the colour detaches from the cloth, stop the process and soak your raincoat in it (Its not often that you wash your coat, but still...)

    4. Dry it IMMEDIATELY.

    5. You have your colored coat.

    For a side effect, do the same for your boots, but in a more "boot" manner. Hope this helps!

    Well, you don't HAVE to wear big fluffy raincoats. Go for something that has a cute pattern like plaid or polka dots and pair that with a cute umbrella (black is always the best color) and for shoes you can try cute rain boots that MATCH either the coat or the umbrella.

    Remember, having your own twist on fashion is the KEY to success and sometimes less is more <3

    For me, a chique hair up-do is equal to being stylish. And since I live in a city where it rains the most in Sweden, I have lots of experience in this area. These are my tips for how you can keep your hair stylish in the rain:

    Umbrellas:

    1. First of all, don't take your umbrella if it's even a bit windy. You will just end up with a messy hair and a destroyed umbrella.

    2. If it is not windy, take the biggest umbrella you have; the bigger the better.

    3. If it is not raining but you know it will (i.e you're not 100% sure about it), don't bring your biggest umbrella because you might end up bearing the big umbrella the whole day.

    Now to the hair:

    1. If you have flattened (or curled) your hair, spray hairspray (you don't need to spray extra just because it's raining) and then brush through it, and when you've set it up as planned, spray a bit more on it.

    a) if you have braided the flattened (or curled hair), use a hat or similar, that suits with your jacket. In this case, don't use umbrella.

    b) If you have set your flattened (or curled) hair up, take a scarf of any quality (depending on what you wear and what season it is) and wear in around your head and neck very loose (!!). Don't use umbrella in this case either.

    2. If it's not windy, do step 1 but take the umbrella instead of a hat or scarf or anything on your head.

    Now to the case of a very windy and rainy weather versus stylish clothes:

    1. If it's really windy, you've done something special with your hair (or anything that the rain will destroy), and you're afraid your make-up will get ruined or your hair-gel will run off, the only suggestion I have to give in this case is to wear your favorite pair of shoes and you favorite jacket and to either use your car or public transport, because this is the case where we cannot win over moder Earth.

    And this is all I can suggest.

    Good luck with the rain!

    To stay stylish in the rain , let us just ponder that for a moment. With our rain coats and umbrella. Try something a little more delicate. A hoodie and maybe some sneakers. See no matter what you are still

    going to get wet, if you are in the rain.

    Being stylish is always unique to the individual and of course nobody likes being soaked by the rain. Walking around all wet is just not in style lately. So our options are Umbrellas and Jackets. Since most of us don't have the time to run around shopping from one store to the next, we have the best alternative of all. Shopping on the internet from one website that already has anything and everything we're looking for. Not only that, it has a built in quick comparason feature that displays all of the price ranges available. All you do is type in "umbrellas" in the search bar and hit enter. In a split second you will have thousands of styles of umbrellas, jackets or anything else your looking for. Most of the prices you'll see are going to be well below retail. It's like they're running sales all the time. I've even seen some prices below wholesale. Ever since I started shopping on this website, I refuse to shop anywhere else. That's because of the great bargains I found and their fast delivery times. OK, I'll tell you the name of this bargain hunters paradise. It's called: MineToHave.com. You're going to love this website so much, you'll keep coming back for more. Save the website under Favorites so you can keep searching for more bargains anytime you like. Happy Shopping! Now I'm sure you're going to be stylish in the rain.

    Wear dark jeans that will not show rain as much, even black if you want; colorful rain boots in your favorite bright color; a trench coat rain jacket in a color that coordinates with the boots; and a big umbrella in a neutral color so it will go with all boots and jackets. Put your hair in a braid if it's long enough, or clip it back if it's short (so it won't be poofy). No makeup or waterproof if you have to wear it. And most of all, smile! it will make you look prettier and sunny! Now go fashionably singin' in the rain!
