When it comes to analyzing the new season runway trends, there always seem to be a few that stop me in my tracks. Not because they are overly flamboyant or over the top but because they are in fact, pretty darn “boring”. Oftentimes, simple and classic trends are exciting because of all the cool ways you can reinvent the trend with different styling techniques. Such is the case with rain boots. We saw waterproof boots crop up everywhere on the runways—from rubber ankle boots at Dior to knee-high chunky Wellington boots at Versace. Whether they’re styled with a pretty slip dress and a grandma cardigan or paired with a pair of jeans and a sweater vest, rain boots are not only practical but they’ll add a refreshingly cool touch to your look this fall and winter.

So whether it’s raining (or not) wherever you are, we guarantee you’ll be spotting the functional boots all over your feeds this fall. Scroll below as we share some of the coolest pairs out there right now.

If a fashion person were to list off a range of their current go-to pieces, there’s a strong chance the sweater-vest would rank pretty high up there. Over the last few seasons, we’ve seen this “grandpa” trend evolve into a forward wardrobe staple. It’s honestly easy to understand the appeal of knit vests and why the style crowd continues to turn to them. For one, wearing a vest either on its own or layered over a top or blouse brings a directional feel to a look. That ideal pick also has a cute, quirky vibe that’s desirable for many.

Given the trending nature, there’s a huge range of top-notch silhouettes out there to choose from. There are options like this pick from Who What Wear Collection that features an of-the-moment cut in a pretty neutral hue. On the flip side, there are gorgeous styles in colorful prints and patterns. Below, you’ll uncover our favorite sweater-vests of the moment if you want to add a fresh pick into your rotation.

Fortunately, Luckiest Girl Alive is poised to be another thrilling sensation. Jessica Knoll, the author of the best-selling 2015 mystery novel who Aurelia describes as a “close friend and a genius,” adapted the story for the big screen and put together an incredible cast (including Mila Kunis and Connie Britton) to bring it to life. Although Aurelia’s role has yet to be confirmed by Netflix, Knoll sang her praises in a late-summer Instagram post. “[Aurelia] blew us all away,” reads a caption of a photo of the two hugging below the neon sign of Fanelli Cafe in SoHo. “She captured her spunk, her wit, and her devastation. Oh god, I can’t wait for you to see what I’ve seen.” Hint: If you haven’t already read the book, here’s your chance. Then, feel free to wager which character Knoll is referring to—Aurelia’s lips remained sealed.

Based on her recent successes, Aurelia’s predilection for stories of a darker nature seems like a smart path to pursue. But it would be remiss to pigeonhole this young actress into the thriller genre or any genre for that matter. In fact, her dream role is an unexpectedly classic choice: Dorothy Gale from The Wizard of Oz, a childhood favorite. “The Wizard of Oz was a huge touchstone for me when I was younger,” Aurelia explains. “It captured all of the things that I loved about the film industry. Plus the singing and dancing and incredible acting, it was so advanced for its time.” In fact, Aurelia and her friends still enjoy watching the 1939 movie together, despite the endless options available via today’s streaming services.
