By: Eunice Sheene Fulgencio | June 26, 2018
There are two types of people in this world: ones who love to have fun under the bright sun and ones who indulge in the somber sound and scent of rainfall. And now that the summer season has come and gone, it’s time for the people who belong in the latter group to rejoice. Of course, whether you belong to either group or not, you are still an adult who has work to do regardless of how hard it is to wake up in the morning.
We all know how hard it is to get anything done under this weather. Case in point: the commute becomes twice as hard, the streets become slippery, traffic becomes insane, and your outfit becomes affected as well. Since not all pairs of shoes are cut out for the rainy weather, you’re limited to rain shoes that can take the wetness of your surroundings. Thankfully though, you do not have to sacrifice looking stylish just to remain dry.
The following are pairs that you can rock regardless of the weather. So whether it’s boots, sneakers, or sandals you want, check out these fashionable shoes perfect for the rainy weather!
