Stay dry during the next rainy day

Here in Athens, today is the first cold (a chilly 65°) and rainy day of the fall season. And while I was downtown earlier, I really started to take notice of the way people arm themselves from the dreary characteristics of such a day: lots of umbrellas (of every shape and pattern), raincoats, and specialized footwear that ultimately all looked the same.

It's time for you to get prepared for these days that are sure to come, and in doing so, standing out just a bit. First things first -- girls, got wet feet? Try these Burberry rain boots, the classic Burberry pattern is much better than the pink and white polka dot pair I saw this morning. Guys, I strongly suggest that you don't wear rain boots, unless your job calls for it (i.e. you work in the mud) -- bad stylefoul.

And while there's not much for "stylish" rain jackets that aren't too gawky, Patagonia has tons of toned-down options for you guys and you gals. They're a bit pricey, but for a reason. Incredible color selection as well. For girls, the Rubicon. For guys, the Chute to Thrill.
