THE WELLINGTON BOOTS

Waterproof rain boots will always have a place in your understairs cupboard, but not your wardrobe – until now! The A/W 20 catwalks were inspired by normal life, and wellies (believe it or not) were the unexpected hero, making them one of the sought-after boot styles of the winter. So don’t save them for dog walking or gardening, dig them out and dress them up! Top-to-toe dreamy creams with contrasting black wellies and rain hat? Absolutely! Puddles? No problem.
