We recently experienced a lot of rain in Sydney during our supposed-to-be hot, sunny summer and everyone freaked out and didn’t know what to do with themselves or their wardrobes.

Cheap umbrellas were purchased on a whim, winter coats were brought out and old stockings with runs in them had to be put to good use.
We can’t be the only ones this happens to in the middle of summer and we get caught out can we? It’s time to fit your wardrobe out with a few rainy day essentials that will keep you calm when the rain starts to pour.
A good umbrella
Those $6 umbrellas don’t work when the wind picks up and blows it, and your skirt inside out. It’s hard to choose which to cover first! Invest in a sturdy umbrella that can fit in your handbag for those just-in-case days. It’s also handy to get a bigger, stylish one for days where it is already raining and you know you will need it. We love these clear… umbrellas that can show off your outfit and keep you dry.
Rain boots
They don’t have to be rubber, but having a good pair of boots that will keep out the rain is essential – there’s nothing worse than having wet feet all day. You can find stylish boots that aren’t gumboots but will still keep your feet dry on those rainy days.
Rain parka
A great rain parka doesn’t have to look like the yellow raincoat that your mum made you wear when you were a kid. You can pick up a super stylish jacket that you know is reliable when it rains to keep your whole outfit dry underneath. It’s a bonus if it can cover your handbag too!
