Dry and stylish to boot

Rainy season is here again. Besides the umbrella and raincoat, there's one more thing you'll need to battle the unpredictable rain: good shoes.

There are many choices when it comes to footwear appropriate for the wet season.

Here are a few weather-proof options, which are not only comfortable, but stylish.

Our male model wears a pair of duck boots from Timberland. It features seam-sealed construction and a brogue-detailed toecap, made from moulded thermo-plastic rubber, for added water protection. Perfect for trudging under dark clouds and thunder.

The mock python booties from H&M are highly water-resistant and make for a great alternative to leather boots.
