Big flowery patterns?

Polka dots?

Plain green?

What do you think?

They're ok. That was simple wasn't it!

They have to go with a brown coat though I think. that's my warm waterproof I'll be wearing in the evenings when camping. I know I really really shouldn't worry about colour co-ordination when going to a loo block in a field on a wet evening, but you know...

Pale blue ones perhaps?

Hunters.
It's the only way to go.

Although perhaps pink ones would go better with a brown coat?

£55!!!!!

Now, the blue I've just decided I'm after is the nice one when you open the shocking £55 link!

Do you feel like a grown up when you wear flowery ones???

A few at Joules if you have v large or v small feet (presumably new styles/sizes will ones in after the sale?). Or Boden.

Try Primark.

I got a pair of red wellies, with a white floral type pattern on them, recently. Just £8 a pair. Wore them recently on a camping evening even thing. Perfect.

thanks for the joules link they've got these in turquoise.

I'm after some wallpaper the same as those boden ones

I love the Boden ones in blue - they'd be fab with a brown coat!

Any colour / pattern is "try hard" IMHO - plain green Hunters will last a lifetime and go with everything

I've got brown hunters - cut above the flowery brigade imo

No! No patterns! Get some Hunters. They are the business.

I think Lapin has four pairs or something outrageous.

Hunters are really good but I guess it depends how much you're going to use them (in aubergine which is a lovely purple really). Mine get a lot of use in crap and mud so are well worth the money seeing as they last for years but if its for the odd rain shower then probably best to go cheap and cheerful

I got my Hunters on ebay for £12.99. bargain tastic

Can I just whisper that the local neds around here have started wearing patterned wellies with their shell suits instead of trainers.....It looks very bizarre
