One must-have for life in Charleston is cute rain gear, as we certainly get a lot of it. Today, I’m going to share a few of my personal favorites, along with great picks for every sort of style.
April Showers: My favorite rain gear
I really like my Pendleton rain jacket. It’s the perfect sunny yellow color, it has a nice big hood, and it’s practical: thick and durable, built to last. The best basic raincoat. I also wear my Hunter ankle boots a lot. They are perfect as they are easy and cute! I find the knee boots to be a little uncomfortable (and hard to pull off my legs), so I prefer a shorter length.
My last essential (not pictured), my Calder umbrella from The Whitney. It’s totally clear (a must for me, as it doesn’t obstruct my vision), with a motif inspired by Alexander Calder’s Big Red. A must for all art lovers (it would make a great Mother’s Day gift, in my opinion).
Beyond those, I’ve rounded up a slew of fun rain gear. Whether you are looking for something classic or kooky, there’s a coat, a hat, and a boot for you.

I bought the rain coat right away and I’m thinking whether I need the boots to primarily walk my dog. He hates rain so I’m out for the shortest time possible if he will go. I’m deciding on the boots you are wearing and the other play boot just to keep dry on the grass. Do they run big? I’m an 8 in a sneaker of a longer with a thin foot and I hate it if the back of my ankle rub. I found the blog bit my phone duplexes comment Rain . I apology. It’s so cute on you.
