Depending on why you are wearing your wellington boots, for some - especially those gardening - the conventional boots ending just below the knee can be quite cumbersome. If this is the case a pair of ankle booted wellies may be more suitable for you. These still keep those socks nice and dry as they are 100% waterproof but allow you to be more nimble on your feet.
Take care of your boots. When you wash them use clean water and allow them to dry in a cool, well ventilated area. Once cleaned and dried a protector spray can be applied. Boots with a zip will require extra care. Carefully wash any mud away, dry and then apply a silicone spray to keep your zip running smoothly. Do not allow your boots to be stored for any length of time with the zip open or clogged with mud as this will cause problems and eventually ruin your boot.
Wellington boots or wellies as they are now often referred to were worn and made popular by Arthur Wellesley the 1st Duke of Wellington.

Bad Shoes
Shoes are in my opinion the most important aspect of an outfit. By choosing chunky or bulky shoes, you will only look like a clown. Overly square toes (pilgrim) are also a think of the style past. They were cool a few years ago, but they are now taking a back seat to a sleeker and more stream lined shape and trend. We should also include shoes that are overly worn or scuffed.The Solution
Take care of your shoes. Once a month take the time to polish your shoes and make sure not to forget about the heal. Spend the money on good quality shoes. If taken care of they will last you for years. Choose shoes that are simple yet stylish. Stay away from overly ornate stitching or overly drastic shapes (square or pointed). Remember, shoes should not draw attention to them selves, but rather tie the package together. Stay away from shoes that are ultra trendy due to the fact that they will be out of style quickly.
Wellington boots protect your feet from the wet, they are a great piece of footwear for walking in wet or muddy areas and are completely waterproof. Most wellies stop just below the knee which protects the bottom of your trousers from becoming wet or stained. Ankle wellington boots are also available but are not as popular.
When looking for new jeans, you will notice that there are a few different cuts or styles to choose from. Look for straight leg or even boot cut jeans. The goal is to allow the jean to fall over the top of your shoe creating a nice clean line from your waist to your feet. Bunching of fabric will only make you look short and sloppy. Neither of these are good looks for anyone Image Killer #6
Floral Print Shirts
Unless you are in the tropics or on a cruise, these shirts are dorky. If you are in the tropics or on a cruise....good for you and wear the shirts.The Solution
Choose shirts that are a solid color or a small pattern. Don't buy something that you think is "cute" or "funny". You won't look cute but you will look funny.
To keep your wellies in tip top condition, store then in a cool and dry spot out of the sunlight. Do not leave your wellies next to a radiator, AGA or boiler and just as equally not out in the freezing cold. Extreme temperature conditions at either end of the spectrum will eventually ruin your boots causing them to dry and crack.
