The Boomer Style Rule That's Making a Shocking Comeback
1. Printed Minidress + Rain Boots

It doesn’t matter if you go for tall boots or short ones, just make sure they’re in a neutral color, so you don’t look like you’re posing as the Morton Salt Girl. (And maybe avoid wearing an all-yellow dress while you’re at it.) Top the whole thing off with a raincoat—or umbrella—and you’re good to go.

2. Printed Trench + Anything but Jeans

This slicker looks fab. You know what’s not so fab? Soaking jeans from the knees down. When your raincoat isn't a maxi length, choose pants made from a breathable, quick-drying fabric, like merino wool, nylon or polyester. On the other hand, stay away from cotton, denim, silk or linen, which tend to absorb moisture.

Cute waterproof hats do exist! Opt for a trendy bucket style in black or dark brown (bonus points if you can find one in a patent finish) to keep things sleek and understated. Below the neck, you can never go wrong with a timeless trench, comfortable black separates and white kicks.

Not a fan of rain boots and seem to have misplaced every umbrella you’ve ever owned? Opt for a rain jacket that goes all the way down to your ankles and a pair of kicks with some serious tread. As for what’s underneath your coat? Keep things casual with black joggers or raw-hem jeans and a matching tee.
