Wellingtons: Havaianas Helios Mid Height in Aubergine | Blanket Scarf: Accessorize | Jeans: Levi's | Jumper: Old but Similar | Shirt (Worn Underneath) Levi's | Watch: Caravelle
Wrapping up for the Autumnal chill is something I feel we all harbour a not so secret love for. I mean, how many of you are waiting on the cinnamon version of everything to hit the coffee shops?! Say it's not just me . . . ?! Equally, that moment when we can open the jumper drawer, grab a scarf, and if - like me - you're going to go leaf-kicking - you'll be pulling on your wellington boots too. Havaianas - most famously known for their flip flops - have branched out into rain boots. And YAY for that. I gave the Helios mid rain boot in aubergine (delicious colour) a whirl on a recent fruit tasting trip to Blackmore Farm. I love that the length is shorter than most boots (although they do come in full length too) as I was looking for a wellington which I could wear on days in the city, as well as in the countryside.
nature's finest!
Read on for my favourite way to style my wellington boots . . .
Despite their practical uses I treat wellingtons like any other footwear - an accessory. I want to feel put together and stylish . . . even when it's pouring with rain. Berry hues are just so tasty for Autumn/Winter and I couldn't resist making these Havaianas booties the focus of my outfit. I paired them with my favourite blanket scarf, skinny jeans, and a shirt + jumper combo.
Top Tip: A streamlined silhouette will balance out heavy footwear.
