Snag the Royal Family’s Go-To Gear

As much as I hate to admit it, summer is coming to a close, which means both chillier weather and, in the meantime, end-of-summer showers. But, if we have to put up with rain, we can at least do it in style, and for this we can all take a page from the British aristocrat playbook and step into Hunter Wellington boots.

These look like basic rainboots, but these sturdy green staples have been the go-to outdoorsy footwear of the landed gentry for ages, meaning that whenever you see a paparazzi shot of any of the royals on the summer estate, they’re sporting a pair of green Hunters.

Even if you’re not spending your days on the English countryside (it happens to the best of us), these are just as convenient for getting around the city in inclement weather and finally winning the battle against those puddles that seem to extend 3 feet from every curb when it’s been raining.

They also happen to come in a slightly shorter, lace-up style that’s slightly more city-friendly and no less iconic. Classic, comfortable, and built to last, Hunter boots make rainy days not just bearable, but something to look forward to.
