Wellies as fashion?

Festival season (a.k.a. summer) in Ireland is the only time I have seen them as a fashion accessory, but of course they are practical then too. I had great pink ones with purple hearts.

I have seen them around. One of our babysitters wore them over, it was raining though. She is a college student and walks to class. I didn't know what Wellies were though until I just looked it up.

I am here in Connecticut. I've seen Wellies a few times when going to the mall the past couple weeks. It's not really that cold or wet here, but the young ladies have them on. I also noticed that all the department stores here have a big display of the Wellies. I didn't know if it was a regional thing since I'm from the south. They are kinda cute.

I wore them as a child. In Seattle. For playing in puddles. I don't know why an adult would wear them other than for going through mud. They don't offer much ankle support, so be careful. I remember rolling my ankles all the time!

They've been big in NY since last year but only on rainy days.

They have been big in the South for years. They were really really popular at UVA since girls walk everywhere even when it's raining. If it's raining, I say they are great! If not, leave them at home.
