What Accessories Pair Best with Tall Wellies?
What Accessories Pair Best with Tall Wellies?
Styling tall gumboots gives you room to explore what ‘rainwear’ really means. With taller boots, you can showcase your playful side with knee-high socks fitted over tights, leggings, or other form-fitted clothing to allow your gumboots to shine as a fashion statement.
We recommend pairing your Wellington boots with tight leggings or trousers to protect the leg cuffs from puddles and snow, and to provide additional warmth on chilly, drizzly days. Bundle up with your favourite trench or longline coat and you’re ready to go!
For transitional seasons, such as autumn and spring, rainwear is still necessary and those cloudy days can catch you off guard! Our wellies are the perfect playmate for a flowy skirt or shorts, so you’re always prepared–no matter the weather.
Are Tall or Ankle Gumboots better?
Are Tall or Ankle Gumboots better?
Whether it’s equipping your wardrobe for the rainy season or replacing your well-loved gumboots, both tall and ankle wellies are more than a fair-weather friend and make the perfect rainwear. There are a few key differences between the two, so which boot is best for your rainwear ventures?
Ankle boots are perfect for walks where an open-toed shoe might be too chilly, or the risk of a sudden downpour isn’t worth mucking up your favourite white sneakers. These rainwear boots provide protection to your entire foot up to a few centimetres above the ankle. They are weather-resilient and are discreet, complementing your skinny jeans or allowing you to show off your favourite socks.
Tall Wellington boots, like our Darcy and Fergie boots, will reach mid-calf or knee height. We love our taller wellies because they provide additional protection to your feet and ankles from puddle splashes while keeping you snug and warm on even the chilliest days out. These Gumboots add a utilitarian flair to any outfit and are perfect for tucking your cosy leggings and stylish jeans into.
Should I get Fergie or Darcy Gumboots?
Should I get Fergie or Darcy Gumboots?
Wellies that are both fashionable and functional are the optimal rainwear. While our Darcy mid-calf gumboots are a timeless favourite that comes in a range of colours that allow you to showcase your unique style, they’re now sharing the spotlight with our Fergie Tall Gumboots.
With Fergie wellies, we’re reaching new heights. Named after the Ferguson tree–the tallest tree recorded in Victoria, Australia - the Fergie is a sleek black Wellington boot that reaches just below the knee for additional coverage for your outdoor excursions.
The best part? Fergie boasts the same features as Darcy in terms of flexible neoprene lining, arch support, and is 100% vegan and cruelty-free. Both gumboots are made with high-quality, natural rubber and are 100% waterproof, making them ideal for rainwear.
The Fergie is just the taller best friend of the Darcy, and both are closet staples crafted to give you a Wellington boot that you’ll love.
