Marc Jacobs Wellies are what happens when high fashion meets sensible standby. When Marc Jacobs jumped into the retro wellie movement, the response from consumers was a resounding “Yes!” Designer labels have been dipping their hands into the wellie rage that’s gripping shoppers across the globe and Marc Jacobs is the latest label to do so.

Marc Jacobs brings an elegance to wellies like no other. Quilted wellies with a patent leather look in white and black with a two-inch stack heels are flying off shelves. Marc by Marc Jacobs hit the shelves during the summer and there was no looking back. Marc Jacobs wellies are particularly popular in New York and London, two epicenters of chic.

Many feel this is just the latest installment in our current fashion nostalgia. Some fashion experts feel Marc Jacobs wellies are just yet another example—in a long line of many—of the pieces we’re resurrecting in an effort to return to a more solid, comfortable, secure time. The current unsteady economic outlook is driving fashion hounds to enjoy a simpler, safer time—at least clothes-wise.

Men are sporting Marc Jacobs wellies as well as women. Rock star idols and fashion designers alike are tromping around them.

The thing about wellies is that some people had been shying away from them because of their long history of simplicity and practicality. It just didn’t seem like fashion to them. With hot, sought after designers, such as Marc Jacobs jumping onboard the wellie express, it’s now a trend many will find hard to ignore.

Marc Jacobs wellies are rubber and fall just below the knee, much like the traditional wellies we’ve seen. What sets them apart is the whimsy each pair evokes. Many of them are plastered in patterns and colors that seem to be poking fun at the elements and inclement weather. You can find lace up wellies with pom poms. The quirky striped laces complete the flair.

Besides the fashion boost you get from Marc Jacobs wellies, they keep your feet—and your pant legs!—from getting wet in the rain and slush. As you’re out dodging puddles and running about town doing errands and taking care of things, you’ll want to avoid getting wet, cold, and muddy. Marc Jacobs wellies are just the trick. Their sensible soles will keep you upright and their fanciful colors and designs will warm your insides.

Try a pair of plum Marc Jacobs wellies with a nifty trompe l’oeil embellishment. Or perhaps you’d prefer a turquoise pair with trompe l’oeil. Or how about Italian made graffiti print pink wellies? How about a bold burgundy, lace-up wellie with the logo embossed all about the calf section? There are too cute green Marc Jacobs wellies with lime green trim. There is a cool metallic copper pair trimmed in faux fur.

There’s even a remarkably affordable $28 pair of shiny black wellies with a bold colored sole from Marc Jacobs. The soles come in pink, yellow, orange, blue, and green. Twenty-eight dollar Marc Jacobs boots? Outstanding!
