We’ve had weeks and weeks of rain in Sydney so I’ve become quite attuned to trying to find the perfect wet weather gear of late. I’ve found I definitely need it to get me through everything from running errands to doing school pick up in torrential downpour. I was initially on the hunt for a raincoat which my followers on Instagram kindly gave me plenty of suggestions for and then someone had the great idea to suggest I do a post on gum boots. Along with a rain coat I think stylish gum boots are a rainy day essential. It actually makes navigating your way through the pouring rain a little easier and more pleasant when you don’t have to deal with soaking wet feet.

Luckily, it’s not that hard to find stylish gum boats as they have in fact come a lot further than I once remember. You can now find gum boots in various styles and colours, while still remaining practical. I think it’s well worth the investment, particularly if you find yourself having to do multiple things outside and you don’t really want to have to battle with an umbrella to stay dry. That said, it’s key to find the a style that will work with your existing wardrobe. There are so many different iterations of gum boots these days from the quintessential knee high pair, to a shorter Chelsea style boot to an on trend lace up variety. You’re definitely guaranteed to find a pair that can easily be incorporated into your everyday looks. If you want to look ultra put together, you can also consider your boots style alongside your raincoat colour and silhouette for the ultimate in wet weather looks.

I’ve rounded up a few options that suit any style below. From a lilac pair for those want to embrace a little more colour to a classic black pair of Hunter boots to get you through soggy days, while ticking the fashion box.
