Rain boots seems to spread beyond children's playgrounds these days. Suddenly rocking the clunky but comfortable rain boot is in vogue, of course if you opt for the refined version created by some of the high end designers. The key here is to avoid childish patterns and colors and stick to the basic black, gray or brown. Minimal embellishments are a must to achieve the sophisticated grown up look - Burberry patent chain boots are a classic example of the old boot with a fashionable twist. More options:
