From classic green styles to disco wellies, you’ll be dry in style
By Charlie Teather
When high fashion and practicality collide, it’s always a good thing. This year has seen wellies sky-rocket from farm and festival staple to city slicker as designer brands like Bottega Veneta, Stella McCartney and JW Anderson have elevated the wet-weather essential to a seriously stylish buy.
Chelsea boots are great for dry winter days and cowboy boots, as seen on the chicest French girls, are having a moment this season, but when you’re planning a day out in the elements (or even dashing to the post office in the drizzle) nothing beats the humble wellie at keeping your toes dry.

If you’re going to be spending more time wearing your wellies on rain-splattered pavements, look to Chloe’s chic Betty boot, with a slight heel, or Valentino Garavani’s rose embossed knee-high boots that come in white or black. Balenciaga has even collaborated with Crocs on a cult pair of rain boots that will work with all your urban outfits.
Black and dark shades are admittedly the most versatile but sometimes, when rain sets in, we need our fashion choices to lift our mood. On particularly grey days we’d like to suggest a bold print like Marks & Spencer’s polka dot wellies, a cheerful colour (ASOS have a lilac pair and Tretorn do a sweet pink), or even a glitter sprinkled pair. If your budget will stretch, JW Anderson have a delightful pair of wellies in silver glitter with signature gold chain while ASOS do a simple silver glitter version. You’ll be jumping in puddles in no time.

Could you ever think that rubber boots will become fashionable? Thank you so much for this cute and practical fashion trend! Previously, rubber boots were left in the country or ... in childhood, because it was simply indecent for an adult lady to wear them. And now they not only save us from colds during the off-season, but also complement and even decorate our everyday looks. September is coming, and it's time to find out which women's rubber boots and boots are in trend this fall 2023 season.
In this article:
- Current models fall 2023;
- How to choose women's rubber boots;
- What to wear.
Fashionable rubber boots fall 2023
Yes, women's rubber boots have their own trends, only slightly overlapping with the main shoe trends. What will please ourselves this autumn:
- Bright monochromatic. Such models, pure bright colors attract attention and refresh even the simplest everyday set. Boots can be both high, almost to the knees, and short.
- Vibrant prints. Flowers, stripes, polka dots and everything that designers can only dream of can be on your rubber boots this fall. Young girls can afford to wear models with cute patterns in the form of fashionable owls or cartoon characters, while older girls can wear a trendy bright check or an abstract expressive pattern.
- Cossacks. Yes, rubber Cossacks. You can’t tell it from leather models, but you can also walk through puddles! Pairs well with a jacket and jeans.
- Transparent lace-up boots. This novelty conquered lovers of practical and cute images. They are worn both on a bare leg and on bright, multi-colored socks. There are models with small heels and flat soles.
- Ankle boots. Short women's boots, especially with heels, will well complement a strict classic look.
- Laces, bows. Not only shortened, but also high boots can have lacing. Moreover, it can be purely decorative.
- Winter boots with fur inside. When autumn smoothly turns into winter, only insulated rubber boots can keep your feet warm and dry. Winter models also come in both bright original colors and calm neutral colors. How to choose?
The first thing you should pay attention to is the quality of the shoes. After all, no matter how beautiful they are, if they let water through, then the meaning of the purchase is definitely lost. There are a lot of beautiful shoes, but, unfortunately, not very practical ones. Therefore, pay attention to the brand, country of production and cost. By the way, lately, very stylish and high-quality women's rubber boots of domestic production have become increasingly common.
Consider the versatility of your future purchase. If the bad weather does not recede for a month or more, then rubber boots will have to be worn with all sets of clothing. If you do not plan to purchase several options, then stop at the classic-shaped black boots. They will go well with a jacket, and with a leather jacket, and with an inflated jacket.
It is better to take women's winter boots with a flat sole, without a heel, because on the unfavorable surface of the off-season period, the heels will not slide elegantly at all and move apart.
One more point that you should pay attention to before buying is the absence of a zipper or elastic insert on high boots. If neither one nor the other is available, then the process of removing shoes can take about 15 minutes (seriously!) Therefore, either a zipper, or an elastic insert, or a fairly wide top. Or short models, there are no such problems with them.
Black rubber boots for women go well with almost any autumn outfits, especially if they are with heels. Bright boots do not have to repeat the gamut of the entire outfit, although they can overlap, for example, with accessories. Bright shoes are best worn with monochrome looks so as not to overdo it with color.
Women's rubber boots go perfectly with leggings, this is a classic combination that is unlikely to ever go out of fashion. Gaiters can either match the shoes or be in a contrasting color. You can wear this combination with a skirt, dress or voluminous shorts.
High boots can be worn with skirts, especially pleated skirts. It turns out a very touching and cute image. Skinny jeans, leather or thick knitted leggings are also ideal.
Outerwear should be appropriate for the weather, because with rubber boots it will definitely match. Coats, jackets, marshmallow jackets, cropped sheepskin coats and many more autumn jackets will stand next to this practical women's shoe.
Take care of your health not to the detriment of your image, especially since one does not interfere with the other at all!
Fashionable rubber boots for every season and every taste

- 5 Rules for choosing a suitable pair
Rubber shoes have long ceased to be boring and monotonous, today they are used as a bright and interesting accessory that can decorate any look in rainy, dull weather, and rubber boots are combined with a variety of fashionable bows .
And if once rubber shoes were considered suitable only for a child, and adults could only wear them in the garden or in the forest, now everything has changed dramatically, for several seasons every fashionista has at least one pair of waterproof shoes in her arsenal .
Features of production
Modern boots are made of PVC, which made the shoes more comfortable to wear and got rid of the "greenhouse effect". Thanks to this, even in warm rainy weather, you will be able to feel as comfortable as possible in a pair of rubber boots. Models come with non-lacquered and lacquered surfaces, and the following materials can be used for production:
- rubber;
- solid rubber with the addition of copolymers;
- rubber combined with textiles;
- PVC.
Additionally, decorative overlays can be used in production, such as rubber floral and figured applications, borders, straps, etc. Shoes can be produced in different ways:
- Adhesive, when all elements are assembled and glued in sequence.
- Forming is used in the manufacture of footwear for special purposes, for this purpose it is usually used solid rubber or rubber combined with textiles.
- PVC liquid forming based on material cutting and preparation of all blanks. At the end, all the elements are attached to the block, and then the sole is formed.
- The casting method is used to make boots with insulation.
Advantages of rubber boots:
- fashionable rubber boots in wet weather perfectly protect the feet from moisture;
- the material is quite unpretentious in care, and therefore it can be cleaned in a couple of minutes;
- rubber is a durable material that has a long service life, and therefore a pair will last more than one season;
- The use of modern technologies in production allows you to create unique models, thanks to which today a great variety of options are offered for every taste.
Accessibility should be added to the above advantages, because the material used is much cheaper than suede, textiles and genuine leather. But it is worth remembering that it is worth wearing rubber boots only when necessary, as they do not allow the leg to breathe and in dry weather it will simply be unbearably hot in them.
Varieties of models
Women's boots are quite diverse, and from the range of designs presented, you can choose any option.
Women's rubber boots are available in a variety of designs for almost any purpose. This is not only a classic version with a high top and a rounded toe, but also many other designs. Therefore, the question will not arise: “Rubber boots, what to wear with?”. After all, for each outfit you can choose the right pair.
Types of rubber boots
Main types of rubber boots:
- With heels, which practically do not differ from classic leather products in appearance, but with a choice of colors they are much more diverse.
- Boots with high soles are not only stylish but also practical. Indeed, with such shoes, puddles and slush are not terrible, and the presence of a embossed sole provides increased traction with the soil.
- Manufacturers also offer models with insulation, and therefore it will be possible to choose the perfect pair for slushy, autumn weather.
- In the form of boots - this is perhaps the most stylish and unusual option. These trendy rubber boots even come with lacing, which looks very original. The following brands have recently become famous:
- Keddo offers practical models. They draw attention to themselves with comfortable fasteners in the form of straps.
- Sandra presented fashionable rubber boots with a high top and a small elegant heel. There are many options with stylish patterns.
- Manufacturer Guess - these are combined models of boots with a rubber bottom and a leather shaft. You can safely walk through puddles in them.
