Looking for a stylish pair of wellies a.k.a Rain Boots

Hunter wellie rain boots are the next hot thing for stylish and dry feet throughout any city. Browsing around. I found Aigle rain boots, made in France. These boots are more fitted than your regular rain boot you may find at say Target and the riding boot style gives an illusion that you've just got back from the stables when in fact they are made completely of rubber. A stylish, tall rain boot with a pair of black, grey or dark blue leggings with an over-sized knit sweater is the perfect look for a casual but stylish rainy day. These boots are tailored and are just as stylish as the Hunter wellies. These boots are from Aigle, which provides outdoor gear to French sportsmen, equestrians and those who visit the countryside for pleasure. Yes, these are the real deal and are perfect for urbanites looking for a waterproof and comfortable city rain boot.

Where to get ‘em!

Retailers including Martin + Osa and J. Crew now carry Aigle boots. On the upper left is the Aigle Start Riding Boot ($103.20 once $129.00 at Martin and Osa), a plain black riding boot that is a perfect reproduction of their leather counterparts. On the model are a pair of violet burberry rain boots (upper right, $195 at Net-a-Porter) to show you how great skinny jeans look tucked into tall boots. On the bottom row far left is the Aigle Women’s Bergen lace up rain boot ($207.95 at Shoebuy.com). Again in the riding boot style these two-toned Aigle Jumping Rubber Boots ( bottom row middle, $199.99 at saddlesource.com) look like traditional dressage riding boots if you are looking for the Bon chic, bon genre aka French preppy style. Lastly is the two-toned Aigle Women’s Rubber Boot in Brown, ($149.00 at studentmarket.com).
