Stylish ways to keep feet dry

Q. I have a question about weather wear.  I live in NYC and have just taken a job that is more administrative by nature, and therefore I’m having to build a business wardrobe for the first time.  I have a 45 minute daily commute involving a train, a bus and lots of street walking.  I'm at a loss for how to get to work looking neat and put together on mornings that are rainy, wet and muddy.  Specifically, how to keep the cuffs of my pants dry and clean.  I wear a lot of wide leg cuffed dress trousers.  Can I buy those stylish Wellies and tuck my pants in them for the commute?  I wear a women's size 11 and have difficulty finding my size, and then finding a pair with a large enough calf to tuck my billowed trousers into.  Are there other options available to me besides Wellies to keep my feet and pants dry?  Help!

A. Banish rainy day blues with colorful, fun rain boots or loafers that will add style to your outfit or at least give you a smile thru your lengthy commute.  If one of these options is not to your liking, then go for traditional Wellies or even rubber riding boots that look quite sleek with a skirt. The boots and Wellies will give you enough room to tuck in your pants and arrive at your office clean and dry.
