Ready or not, boot season is here! When the chilly winds of winter start to nip at your toes, there's one trusty companion that can keep you both warm and stylish – boots. From ankle boots that add a touch of sophistication to your everyday attire to rain boots that boldly tackle puddles and storms and knee-high boots that make a fashion statement like no other, the world of footwear offers many options to keep your feet snug during the cold months. As a resident of a cold climate, I understand the importance of a good pair of boots. In this blog post, I’m sharing my picks for various types of boots and creative ways to style them, ensuring you not only stay cozy but also feel put together. So, let's kick off the season by stepping into the world of boots and discovering how they can be your ultimate fall/winter/early spring wardrobe essential.

 
 
 

Tall & Wide Calf Boots

& ways to wear them

Pair with Skinny Jeans or Leggings: Knee-high and over-the-knee boots look fantastic with skinny jeans or leggings. Tuck them into the boots for a sleek and elongated look. Dark-colored jeans can seamlessly transition from your legs to the boots, making them appear even taller.

Dresses and Skirts: Don't limit yourself to just pants. Knee-high and over-the-knee boots can be paired with dresses and skirts as well. A knee-length or shorter skirt can give an alluring peek of the boots, while a longer skirt can create a more elegant and cozy look.

Ankle Boots

& ways to wear them

Experiment with the cut of the pants: Ankle boots pair exceptionally well with cuffed or rolled-up skinny jeans. This style not only shows off your boots but also adds a touch of casual chic to your outfit. You can experiment with different cuff widths to achieve the look you desire and wear them underneath boot-cut jeans.

Tuck in Your Jeans or Pants: For a more polished and sleek appearance, tuck your jeans or pants into your ankle boots. This style is great for creating a clean line and elongating your legs.

Skirts and Dresses: Ankle boots can be worn with skirts and dresses of varying lengths. A knee-length skirt can create a classic look, while a shorter skirt can add a touch of edginess. Tights or leggings can be added for extra warmth during colder seasons.

Short Rain Boots

& ways to wear them

Tuck in Skinny Jeans or Leggings: For a sleek and polished look, tuck your skinny jeans or leggings into your short rain boots. This style is great for creating clean lines too!

Pair with Tights or Opaque Stockings: Short rain boots work nicely with tights or opaque stockings. Choose a complementary color or pattern to add a playful and colorful element to your outfit while keeping your legs dry.

Dresses and Skirts: Don't hesitate to pair your short rain boots with dresses and skirts. They can add a trendy and youthful touch to your rainy-day outfit. Knee-length or shorter skirts are particularly well-suited for this style.

Winter Boots

Choose the Right Boots: Start by selecting winter boots that suit your personal style and the climate in your area. Look for boots that are insulated, waterproof, and offer good traction for icy conditions.

Skinny Jeans and Leggings: Tuck your skinny jeans or leggings into your bulky winter boots. This style creates a clean and practical look, keeping your legs warm and dry. Dark-colored jeans can provide a streamlined appearance.

Layer with Warm Socks: Opt for warm, moisture-wicking socks to keep your feet cozy in the cold. Consider thermal or wool socks that provide insulation without making your boots too tight.

Cozy Sweaters and Cardigans: Pair your winter boots with cozy sweaters, cardigans, and knitwear to create a comfortable and warm outfit. Oversized and chunky knits can add a touch of style to your look.
