Today, I’m sharing my favorite outfits for cold, rainy days. It’s a topic I’d rather not ever have to write about (because I hate cold and rain), but here we are.

Like I said, I am not a fan of the cold. I also really dislike getting my beloved clothes and poof-prone hair wet. Therefore, the combination of cold + rain = a pretty unhappy me!

Unfortunately, cold, rainy weather happens, and as college students forced to follow rain or shine schedules, we have to endure it. This is especially tough if you live in an area like Jeanie, who posted about her cold/rainy weather worries:

I was wondering if you could post a section on rainy days. I live in Shanghai, so it rains a lot during the spring, winter and fall (practically every day!), and occasionally during the summer. I know that Zephyr already did a post on something like that, but it was for much warmer weather. I have a pair of rain boots, but I’m not too sure if they would be good for the winter as well. I was wondering if you could give some ideas on how to dress during the fall and winter for rainy days.

Since even my roommate asked me about what to wear on these dreary days recently, I figured this may be a question on many of your minds.

And while, as Jeanie pointed out, we already have articles about rainy day fashion and how to wear a raincoat, I figured it may help some of you to revisit the topic in the context of fall/winter weather.

So here are my takes on the a few basic outfits for cold, rainy days.

After the outfits, I’ve also included some “rainy day weapons,” or products that are essential to keep you look great in this weather!
