What to Wear: Hot and Rainy

Reader Request

I live in Philly, where for the past month it's been hot and humid, but also really rainy. And every day, getting dressed is a nightmare. When it's cooler and it rains, I wear layers and rubber boots, but it's way too hot to deal with that right now. Any suggestions?

I'm in Philly too, and I agree, getting dressed has been a challenge with all this rain. I've found that the best bet is to stay with lightweight summer clothes (I'd rather dry off my bare legs than walk around in wet jeans after I've been caught in the rain). As far as shoes go, try a pair of waterproof flats that are comfy and cute.
