WET WEATHER BOOT RULES:

SLIM-LEG trousers work best with short boots as they will tuck inside at the ankle.

BEWARE hybrid boots with obvious welly-style toes — these don’t look at all chic.

CURB the urge to buy coloured rubber boots, You’ll be in circus clown territory.

WHEN buying black boots, always go for the most matte finish available in the range.
