Shirley Manson famously sang 'I'm only happy when it rains', and we'll bet the fact that storm friendly boots and shiny macks are a joy to wear is no small part of the reason why. Since it rains 99.99999% of the time during autumn in Britain, we're taking the chance to embrace that attitude too, and with raincoats and high-heeled galloshes on the catwalk at Miu Miu this season, and wellie stalwart Hunter trotting out more and more exciting collections every London Fashion Week, there's never been a better time to do so.
So instead of berating drizzly showers, take a look at this wet-weather friendly looks that will have you doing a rain dance...
