Rainy Day Chic

Accessories assistant Becca Aronson has at last concluded a years-long quest for the perfect rain boots. "Everything I'd found was too cutesy," she explains, "with bright patterns or preppy animal prints." This Marc by Marc Jacobs pair comes in a more restrained, goes-with-anything dove gray and features subtle embellishments, like black laces and scalloped rubber soles. "These are adorable but they're still sophisticated," Becca says, "So I feel like a grown-up wearing them."
