11 Bold Looks To Weather Any Storm In

When we wake up in the morning ready to start our day, only to notice the skies are dark and dreary (and the sidewalks wet and gross), our first instinct is to crawl back into bed and sleep until the sun comes back. However, in our opinion, a gloomy day is nothing that can’t be fixed by the right outfit. And by the right outfit, we mean every color, texture, and pattern you can imagine (as long as it's waterproof, of course).

Below, a guide to dressing for inclement weather the NYLON way. We’re definitely not going to let a few raindrops put a damper on our sartorial choices, now are we? And, as we know, April has and will continue to bring on some showers, but soon following are the inevitable May flowers.

One way to beat the rainy day blues? A sparkling, bedazzled umbrella, of course. Who doesn't love shiny things?

Chloe is wearing an Ab[Screenwear] vest and dress, Gypsy Sport bodysuit, Lairuicci earrings, and a Laurel Dewitt umbrella.

We may have packed away our leopard winter coats until fall, but thanks to this leopard rain trench, we can rock the trend all year round. Oh, and don’t forget to grab your rubber sandals if the sky is looking iffy.

When the sky is dull, gray, and ready to downpour at any given moment, we say bust out all the brights.

You can find us dreaming of blue skies and rainbows on just about any rainy day. Rather than daydream, wear them for a little better weather well-wishing.

Can't text, sip coffee, and hold your umbrella at the same time? While more suited for the fashion risk-taker (okay, and nerdy types), an umbrella hat solves all.

Just because it's crappy outside, doesn't mean you can't spread a little cheer.
