Spring should be in full swing by now, but all it takes is a look out the window to realize that rain is waving.

This year more than ever, the beautiful season is keeping us waiting. The weather forecast for the coming weeks still offers little hope.

But here’s the good news: we can choose to react and face these dreary, gray days with a smile. Not to mention, it’s the perfect excuse to treat ourselves to a new shopping session. To stock up on clothes and accessories designed to create stylish rainy-day looks.

How should you dress when it rains? More importantly, what items should you prioritize so you don’t have to sacrifice style, even in the rain?

A raincoat might seem boring at first glance, but just choose a model in one of the season’s must-have colors (like butter yellow) to bring a good dose of positivity into your wardrobe.

If you’re wearing a skirt, make it midi-length: floral-print options are ideal for getting into a spring mood even when the forecast says otherwise.

Must-haves for rainy days include cargo pants. Ideally with drawstrings at the ankles to keep the hems dry and straight-leg cropped jeans, perfect for tucking into boots or ankle boots.

Speaking of ankle boots: who says rain boots can’t be a great option this time of year? Paired in a fun way with a bright or glittery miniskirt and visible socks, they can be a fantastic seasonal choice.

As for accessories, a crossbody bag that frees up your hands to hold an umbrella, and a baseball cap (crucial for keeping your hairstyle intact), can be essential for giving any outfit a cool edge.
