Stylish and Comfortable WELLIES!

It rained almost every day last week in NYC... so when I walked into Bloomingdales on Friday, I immediately headed to the 2nd floor shoe section. Little did I know that there was going to be a gazillion people crowded around the shelf with the Hunter wellies. I've wanted a pair of Hunters since last spring, but never really felt the need to get them until now. And boy have they gotten popular these days!

I bought the Tall Original Navy boot (below). I'm not someone who follows or copies the crowd, but these boots are so stylish and comfortable at the same time! Also, I've never been a fan of bright, polka-dotted rain boots, and I like how my navy Hunters are very simple and classy. The color goes really well with jeans and even my school skirt!

However, I did consider many other rain boots before buying my Hunters. Here were some of the serious contenders:

Burberry

Like I said, I really wanted to find a simple yet elegant rain boot. This Burberry studded one was on the top of my list for a while. The only reason I didn't get it was because of the color...I'm a big klutz, and I often step in mud so there would be real problems if I kept on getting these tan boots dirty. I definitely still recommend them though.

These are the classic Burberry rain boots. Hilary Duff (right) looks really stylish wearing them with her lace tights, and I bet they look great with jeans, too.

Tretorn

These Tretorn wellies are nice and simple...they might also be the most comfortable pair of rain boots out there! They are available in a variety of colors including yellow, red, and black.

Urban Outfitters

This UO Heeled rain boot was also on the top of my list. At first, I wanted to get the green boot because it is my favorite shade of green. Then I was more set on the black because I love it when rain boots don't look like rain boots at all and are so chic. I also felt like the black boot could go with any outfit. However, when I tried them on at the store, they were way too tight and I could barely tuck my jeans in. But if you have long, thin legs this is perfect!

This is an equestrian rain boot, which actually looks nothing like a rain boot. It's definitely very stylish and different from all the other rubber boots you see outside on the streets.

MORE from Hunter

Hunter boots come in a wide variety of colors (left). I know a few people who own the silver, which looks quite good on. Hunter has also come out with new collections, such as "Regent" and "Carnaby." There is even a Hunter & Jimmy Choo collection! (right)

Happy Autumn!
