Friday Favorites: Rain Gear

October has arrived and that means the rainy season has returned.  Here in Portland we will have rain for at least the next seven months but we are prepared with our favorite pieces of rain gear.  Just because the skies are grey and rain is pouring down, doesn't mean you cannot look chic.

People in Portland really do not carry umbrellas, but if we did, I'd probably sport one of these!

This Burberry Umbrella has a black exterior and the classic

Burberry plaid interior.

I love the graphic rose design on this cute umbrella by Chanel.

Rain hats are a nice alternative to umbrellas.  Don't worry, we're not talking your grandma's plastic bonnet.  Today's rain hats are quite stylish.

This patent rain hat by Eric Javits is darling and flattering to everyone.

You can't go wrong with this fedora style rain hat by Kate Spade.

Those are some options to keep your head dry, but don't forget your feet.  Walking through puddles is not fun in suede pumps.  You need some cute galoshes that you can stomp through puddles, care-free.

These A-DOR-A-BLE galoshes are by Valentino.

If you don't have the Valentino budget, these cute houndstooth galoshes

are a very inexpensive alternative from Target.  I actually own these and love them!

So we've covered all of the accessories, but you still need a rain coat to cover you while dodging the raindrops.

You cannot get more classic than this rain trench by Michel Kors.

This coat will go with anything.

Here is another classically styled rain coat by Michael Kors

but this time in a fun, cheerful orange.

For a hipper, more urban look I am loving this PVC raincoat by DKNY.

How great would this look with jeans and those fabulous Valentino galoshes!

Stay warm, stay dry and stay stylish!
