Winter’s wacky weather has had me dreaming of spring, and with spring comes April showers. The good news is that the best water resistant gear is equally as useful for repelling snow showers, so its a good time to invest in some fun pieces to help you weather the transition.

When working with clients I am a huge proponent of function first when it comes to rainwear. There is nothing worse than having an important day ahead, catching the forecast for rain, and realizing you are unprepared. With the options below you don’t have to sacrifice style, see my favorites below including waterproof shoe options done so well that no one will be able to tell the difference in your (PTA) board meeting!
