Wellies: Thumbs up or down?

I had a Skype-date with one of my friends in London over the weekend. She told me that wellies are the it shoes for gloomy, rainy, snowy and plain cold weather nowadays. I totally agree with Sofia as I'm a huge fan of wellingtons myself! It's so fun to see how those once unloved rubber boots became totally fashionable and oh-so snazzy! (And they are super comfy as well if you wear thick, cozy long socks with them). Darlings, what do you think about rain boots? Are you wearing them this season? Will you? xo

P.S: I have those and this pair with rain level is pretty cool too.
P.P.S: Pants made of wellies.
