It will rain. And you will have fashionable footwear that will be great for puddle jumping--if you pay attention.

For inclement weather-friendly footwear, look for these [Mary Janes or t-straps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tkees-x-jcrew) with rubber heels, or [rain boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waterproof-rubber-boot) in colors that range from schoolgirl yellow to equine tweed. These saddle shoes are all rubber, and there is always the [rubber overshoe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wingtip-gxb). But the fun doesn’t stop there--check out the rubber flats and rubber sandals.

Fun in the rain doesn’t mean you have to look like you just walked off a farm.
