Fashions come and fashions go, but one of the current 'in' products for this winter is the humble Wellington boot.

Whilst the green Hunter Wellington boot is probably the most famous type of welly and has remained an icon of country clothing for years, it is not this legendary brand that has recently entered the trendy shops in malls and on high streets across the UK.

Instead, the fashionable welly boot this season is bright and bold, quite unlike those designed for those who need them for going walking or shooting in the countryside.

Fun and wacky Wellington boots are predicted to be on the feet of all the trend-followers this year. There is a huge range of eye-catching wellies to choose from and these sport designs from stripes and checks to flowers and raindrops.

These cheerful wellies are being stocked by fashionable shops such as Schuh and Office, and are predicted to be a big hit with the fashion crowds.
