However, we can’t deny how ultra-comfortable rain boots are and they really are the best boots to wear when the weather isn’t at its best behavior.

We’ve drawn inspiration from some of the most photographed celebs and came up with this list of 5 ways to wear rain boots or wellies.

#1: Style it sleek and chic.

Actresses Hilary Duff and Ashley Olsen wear their rain boots fashionably chic. Wear a tight pair of black pants or leggings, carry a black must-have bag, and top it off with a big black pair of sunglasses and you’re set to go.

#2: Favor a feminine style.

A billowy dress in a soft floral print is just the right feminine touch to offset the clunkiness of rain boots. Try a halter dress style like Natalie Portman’s, a little prairie dress like Nicola Roberts’, or a short but sweet minidress like Gemma Arterton’s.

#3:  Ramp it up with a rock and roll edge.

How fitting is it that these celebs were all spotted wearing their rain boots at outdoor concerts? If you’ve got one to attend anytime soon, then these celebs prove that rain boots are just the thing to combat the  muddy grounds. Model Lily Donaldson sticks to black, fashion icon Kate Moss gives it a little bit of a hippie vibe, and rockstar spawn Elizabeth Jagger likes to add to color to her white shirt and denim combo. Shorts not mandatory.

#4: Tone it down with a tailored look.

Apart from a feminine frock, try a tailored look to tone down bulky rain boots. Here, Nicole Ritchie, Lindsay Lohan, and Julianne Moore all pair their rain boots with a tailored coat, scarves, and fitted pants.

#5: Keep it cool and casual.

Drew Barrymore, Mandy Moore, Keri Russel, and Anna Lynne McCord show us their casual styles with rain boots. Drew accessorizes them with a great pair of earrings, Mandy warms them up with scarves, Keri Russel is all-American in a denim skirt, while Anna Lynne wears a plain white shirt and black leggings to keep the attention on her silver rain boots.
