    The Best Affordable-Chic Rain Gear

    While getting around in rainy weather can be a bit of a drag, the attractive boots, umbrellas, hats, jackets, and gloves featured below will make navigating even the most torrential downpour a little less dreary.


    Water-Resistant Jackets
    Water-soaked clothes are one of the worse things about getting caught in the rain, so be sure to outfit yourself in a water-resistant jacket on days when the forecast calls for drizzle. Target's Merona line offers water repellent jackets for both men and women for under $50!

    Men's jacket ($35) and women's trench ($50) at Target


    Stylish Umbrellas
    An umbrella is an absolute must have in winter, but why opt for a boring style when you can bring a little color to an otherwise dreary day? We're smitten with the adorable cloud- and polka-dot-printed-versions from ModCloth ($40).

    Cute Rain Shoes
    Walking in the rain is a surefire way to ruin good leather shoes, so make sure you have a pair of rain boots or other water-resistant shoes to get your from point A to point B. Right now discount shoe retailer DSW has a good selection of all-weather shoes and boots priced under $50. And Target.com always has a killer selection of rubber Wellingtons.

    Chic Hats
    When it's merely drizzling, carrying an umbrella can be more trouble than it's worth, but without an overhead cover you'll still end up with wet hair-a bad-hair day in the making! To avoid limp locks, pick up a jaunty rain hat, which will look supercute when paired with a jacket and scarf.

    Gloves
    A good pair of gloves does more than keep hands warm and dry-they accentuate your outfit, too. We love the leather and tweed pair below ($20 at Target) for women. The men's gloves even feature fabric on the fingers that makes them touch-screen-compatible-meaning guys won't have to remove their gloves to use their iPhones. Genius!

      $28 or $38 for an umbrella... I don't think so.

      umm hello! The world of rain coat designers needs to get with the program and design a rain coat with a hood or at least a removable one. I'm a busy mom, I dont always have time to fuss with hats and umbrellas. I want to throw on a coat and be out the door looking fab. I need my hands to carry keys and a 1,000 other things. Also a hood protects your neck from getting wet.

        This is my chief complaint everytime, where are the hoods?!?! And with that being said give me a roomy hood that will cover all my hair shield my face, not one I have to tug down and walk with my head down.

        yes! like the ones in those rennassaince movies that creates like a halo around your head. Doesnt mess up your hair and keeps the rain away.

      ...I have a traditional yellow slicker style, hooded rain coat that because I always have it in my car, saved my butt one winter when my car got stuck just off an off ramp of I-80 near Lake Tahoe during a snow storm. The slicker easily blocks wind and also traps heat, wearing it over your coat or jacket...great emergency item !

      I have those polka dot rain boots, and an umbrella to match, one I bought at Target, the other at Wal-mart, for a lot less, and just as nice. I would like to get some sort of rain coat now, at a lower price, you can always find most of these things at a lot lower price, just look around when you are regularly shopping, and take notice, it saves me a lot of money.

      I agree Why dont Raincoats come with hoods. I was in San Francisco CA at this time last year and I needed a Hood.

      Hoods protect from Wind too. They make a big difference. Won't buy a coat without one.

      Are these articles for purchase supporting American jobs other than the sales clerks and staff? Do these products produce and income for American taxpayers or just the business owners, foreign factory workers, other countries and stock owners? It is better to pay a little more for a quality article to support real American business and to have less stuff and less clutter. Support real economies where people are suffering not economies where the new middle classes are being built. They wont need our dollars after those new middle classes get into greed mode like we did.

      Love those gloves! They only had an XL left in stock when I saw them in the store the other day.

      screw fashion, just buy an old-fashioned yellow rain slicker. it'll keep you dry, and it costs much less than this other crap.
