12 Simple Summer Rainy Day Outfits to Replicate

Throughout history, many songs have been written about summer, more specifically, rainstorms. Like them or not, showers have remained a source of inspiration for artists for centuries (while simultaneously being the foe of fashion people). Don’t get me wrong; I relish an afternoon rainstorm in the summertime. It gives us a respite from heatwaves and carte-blanche to bump rain-centric melodies (think: Natasha Bedingfield, “Unwritten”). However, that doesn’t take away from the fact that it’s hard to discern what to wear when it’s raining, especially in the summertime. Sure, you can wear those more obvious items such as rain boots or trench coats, but beyond that? Well, that’s hard to tell.

Even for those who reside in cities where rainfall is expected—e.g., London, New York, Paris, and so on—it can take years to hone the skillset of selecting the perfect outfit when precipitation is in the forecast. But if you’re short on time, don’t fret. In the vein of making dressing for wet days a bit less wearisome, I did extensive image research to craft the ultimate guide. Ahead, you’ll find 12 summer rainy day outfit ideas, styling tips, and shopping recommendations. If these stylish outfits don’t make you turn into the type of person who wants to sing in the rain, nothing will.
