It's soggy in New York City, and the most stylish women are sporting Hunter waterproof boots.  I've seen them paired with sweater dresses, Mod mini dresses, pencil skirts and men's trousers, and the result is consistently chic.  The palette of choice is muted: Green and navy feel decidedly more modern than bubblegum pink and baby blue.

For extra autumn style points, start with a pair of fleece Welly Warmers (in a subtly contrasting color) that peek over the top of the boot.

The warmers not only feel cozy, but they also add a feminine quality to these gutsy galoshes.

Hunters were created in Scotland in 1856, as a means of combating unpredictable weather and navigating rugged terrain.  And more than 150 years later, they prove just as relevant in the heart of N.Y.C.
