What to wear to work on a rainy day
It’s raining, it’s pouring, the business woman on her way to the office still wants to look chic & presentable for the day. That’s how the rhyme goes, right?
Don’t let gray skies get you down! These rainy day office outfits are as practical as they are stylish (because nobody is happy in wet socks).
Outfit #1: A long trench and a short skirt
We’ll start off with the basics, you can’t go wrong with a trenchcoat – it’s a timeless piece that you’re sure to wear again and again. Dress it up for work by wearing a mini skirt and chic blouse along with some knee-high boots to keep your toes (and legs) dry. Who says office outfits for rainy days have to be boring?

UK influencer Lucy Williams might know a thing or two about rainy weather – so we took inspiration from one of her ultra-cool outfits. A leather blazer jacket is the perfect outwear piece that you can layer and style, even when it’s raining outside. Just pair that with some chunky loafers to keep your feet high and dry.

Rainy day outfits for work don’t have to be complicated. Style queen Olivia Palermo, shows us how it’s done with this double denim look. A dark wash denim is perfect for rainy weather since the color will disguise any muddy splashes that might accidentally occur on your commute to the office. And what’s cooler right now than a head-to-toe denim look?

Maybe you want to ditch the sweatpants but still want the comfort of a work-from-home vibe. Then throw on a cool baseball cap (which will also keep your hair dry) and some platform sneakers. And while baggy jeans are definitely in, we don’t want a longer hem dragging in the puddles (RIP to all my bootcut jeans from the 00’s) – so instead opt for a slightly cropped pair of straight leg jeans.

It’ s time to get preppy. You can’t go wrong with some pinstripes – trendy but also super chic as a rainy day work outfit. Go for a pinstripe vest or commit completely fully to the Old Money aesthetic and wear a matching blazer and trousers set.
