Rosie Roo designer gumboots (or wellingtons if you’re from the UK) have brought functional fashion to the garden.

“Unable to find a gumboot that was practical without being daggy or just plain boring, Jacqui Wallbank decided to make her own. The result? Wellies with a fun, fresh look, that are functional, sturdy and of high-quality. Gorgeous and practical.”

They do three sizes, ankle, mid calf and knee high but fashionistas know that gumboots should ALWAYS be knee high. Yes there’s fashion, even in gumboots.

If you’re having trouble choosing, I suggest the leopard print boots. They have a black sole so they’ll stay looking “new” for longer than the lighter colors, and they’ve got that wow factor to make a real splash. Do some weeding wearing these in your front garden and you’re sure to get appreciative comments from the neighbors.

Sadly they’re not available online just yet, but check out the stockists page for your in-store shopping pleasure.
