Stylehive's Stylescopes Sprinkle Style Into Your Rainy Days

It seems like every time the word winter is mentioned, we automatically think snow and what to wear to fend against it. It doesn't snow everywhere though, and in some places, winter means wind and rain. But no matter what the weather is like by you, these cunning constellations still have the power to predict what you'll be needing for your busy week ahead! I personally hail from Seattle and if there's anything you should know about Seattle, it's that it's famous for coffee and rain. So while magazines and stores were boasting cozy knits and stylish suede jackets and boots, my fellow rain-dwellers and I were mainly concerned with staying dry and warm and looking cute in the process. Although storm clouds may have put the stars into hiding, their messages are still clear. Check out my slideshow to see some of my favorite wet weather styles, and find the best one for your sign!

Don't let a fall downpour rain all over your style. Instead, slip into this season's top topper: the gray trench. A chicer alternative to the khaki raincoat (too preppy) or the bright yellow slicker (too Dick Tracy), this one by Bamford will transition easily from day to evening. Wear it belted over a pair of wide-leg trousers to the office or throw it over a silk party dress for a night out. If $2,800 is a little over budget (a pretty safe bet, unless your name happens to be Oprah), you can pick up this lower-priced version by Mike & Chris. All the details (snazzy wide collar, waist-cinching belt and fold-over button cuffs) are there. In fact, the only thing that's really missing is the price -- this trench is only $198!
