With all the cold/rain/snow we had this winter, my new Hunter Rain Boots have been getting a workout! Here are some tips on how to style Hunter Rain Boots or any other similar style rain boot.
Happy Fashion Friday friends!
My amazing mother-in-law got me these crazy cool Hunter rain boots for Christmas.
They have been in near constant rotation since she got them for me because they are so warm and functional. I wore them to meet the hubs for lunch at Corner Kitchen in Asheville the other day.
They make a rainy or snowy day just a little more fun. I love mine because they are mainly brown, but have a black bottom and black stripe down the back. Since they are two-toned I can wear them with almost anything.
My personal favorite way to style them is with a poufy vest, slim cashmere sweater, chunky infinity scarf and jeans.
I love the way the off white vest matches the off white boot socks, making the look more coherent.
I finish the look with "too cool for school" gold aviators and gold hoop earrings.
Three other ways I style my Hunter rain boots:
1) With leggings and an over-sized dressier sweatshirt.
2)A casual chunky sweater dress and tights.
3) A long, chunky open cardigan and jeans.
I think the key is to keep the look warm, cozy and a little casual.
After this week, I'm packing the winter looks away and transitioning to Spring fashion for Fashion Friday. Next week I'm posting about some of the top new (and most wearable) spring trends for 2015. I'm so ready to put this winter behind us.
This weekend I will spending time with my goddaughter Isabella! Don't forget to follow along all weekend via my Instagram account.
Have a gorgeous weekend, dear readers.
I can’t wait to catch up on Monday because I’m sharing a new Things I'm Loving Lately. It includes a special edition cereal that is "over the rainbow" and my new way I'm keeping the blog organized.
Thanks to Nicole and Jess for the linkup!
How do you style your rain boots?
Do you have rain boots?

The boots looking great, but the more is your confident which make it look superb.
Hazel Owens says
It's amazing how a simple addition like white socks can make rain boots look so cute! While there are patterned, cute rain boots out there, sometimes a simple black style is the best you can find. Adding some complementing colors to the boots and the rest of your outfit can make any boots look nicer, no matter the brand. Thanks for the inspiration!
JulieWunder says
Thanks Hazel! I'm so glad you liked it.

Julie you are always so stylish. You are the out and about town girl. I love my British green Hunter Boots. Where did you find the hunter socks? I have not seen them. Cheers.
Sue @ This Mama Runs for Cupcakes says

I love Hunter rain boots, but don't have a pair of my own yet! You look so beautiful in all of those pics - great post!
JulieWunder says
Thank you so much Jess! You are too kind!
Annmarie says
I am SO glad you posted this...I have a pair in the gray and I have no idea how to wear them most of the time 😛
JulieWunder says
I think they are tricky too! Happy weekend!
Susanna @Zealous Mom says
You look adorable! I got my first rain boots this year. Did not realize what I was missing until I got them. Love your tips.
JulieWunder says
Thanks Susanna! I know! They just make me happy 🙂
Mary Beth Jackson says

JulieWunder says
You are so kind! Thank you!
Nicole @ Fitful Focus says
LOVE the outfit! I can't wait to transition to more of a spring wardrobe!
JulieWunder says
Thanks Nicole! Me too. I have all my spring stuff ready to go!
Lauren @ ihadabiglunch says
A puffy vest, leggings and boots is one of my all-time favorite looks. it's so effortless but you look adorable, AND you're still prepared for the elements!
JulieWunder says
Thanks Lauren! I love this look as well.
Danyelle Musselman says
Love Love Love Hunter rain boots! Cute outfit!
JulieWunder says
Thanks Danyelle! I didn't know what I was missing either.
Jenny says
Super cute! Like Susie below said, I've been wearing Hunter's around the barn since I was little girl, so I don't even bother to 'style' them most of the time. Although, I feel super cool when I pull out the fleece liners. 😉
JulieWunder says
The fleece liners kind of make it for me!
This might be TMI but I realized how fabulous they were when I stepped in the dog mess in the yard accidently. I was so grateful I was wearing them because it hosed right off. haha!
Jenny says
Hahaha! But it's so TRUE! That's what they're for! Happy Saturday!
Diane says
You look amazing in them !!
JulieWunder says
Thank you!!!!
Deborah @ Confessions of a Mother Runner says
I loved my Hunter Boots this winter too but I am not sure I like the socks. They kind of bunch up on me in the boot and I find it annoying. Maybe I have the wrong size?
JulieWunder says
I have been wearing two socks with them... a short gym sock and then the big sock.... It works for me....
Maybe you do have the wrong size.
Susie @ SuzLyfe says
I'm a rider, so I've been around Hunter boots for FOREVER (Like Barber coats, you know?). I always find them fashionable. Currently when I wear my rain boots I wear them with these new legwarmers that I got, but I used to have the fleece liners too!
Jenny says
Horse girls unite! 🙂
JulieWunder says
Woo-hoo!
JulieWunder says
It is funny how they are such a functional piece of clothing that is now so fashionable. Leg warmers.... fun!
Stacie @ SimplySouthernStacie says
I've always wanted Hunter rain boots, but have just never invested in them since I wear my current rain boots maybe twice a year haha!
Hope you have a great weekend with your goddaughter!
JulieWunder says
I hardly ever wore my old ones because they are hot pink... fun but REALLY hard to pull off on a daily basis. These are soooo much nicer and I love the neutral color so I wear them often.
Heather @Fit n Cookies says
Super cute! Are those ones warm since they look like they have fabric in them? My friends had Hunter boots (with no lining) at the mountains this weekend and they said they weren't warm. I want a pair!
JulieWunder says
They are plenty warm for me, but I'm not really trekking through crazy snow in them... so I haven't tested that 🙂
Blane Sherer says
Love your total outfit with your boots.
That was a nice ending of your winter-wear.
Looking forward to you starting spring fashions next Friday.
Hope you enjoy your weekend with your goddaughter.
JulieWunder says
Thanks Blane! Happy weekend!
