Most people think winter boots and just dread them. Memories of tacky boots with snow pants as a child just can’t be erased, and no matter what you just can’t bring yourself to wearing them. The reality is unless you want to spend the day with soggy feet here in most parts of Canada, you can’t avoid owning at least one pair of winter weather boots. We’re not a big fan of trading style for practicality so we’ve got our guide to help you wear your boots in style!
Over The Knee
Not every winter day calls for heavy-duty footwear, but stylish footwear can also help keep you warm and we love our over the knee boots for exactly that reason. They go great with everything from riding pants to dresses and can even dress up leggings. We love wearing them with our favourite wool coats for a cozy and chic look.
Heave Duty Weather
Bundling up for cold snowy days doesn’t mean you have to look ridiculous. These Pajar winter boots are waterproof and will still keep you warm even with their slim design. Nothing completes this look more than a big winter parka, mittens and an iconic trapper hat!
Comfortable and Cozy
Not everyone is into the casual style of UGGs but once you put a pair on, we dare you to take them off. These Australian sheepskin boots are ridiculously warm, and comfortable. They’re perfect for colder, dry days with less snow and go great with pretty much everything from leggings to jeans. We love wearing our UGGs with a warm flannel and parka for running errands like grocery shopping or getting that Christmas shopping done!
Casual Snow Day
If last winter was any proof, Timberlands are not just your boyfriend’s winter boot anymore. The Classic Timberland made a huge comeback in style last year, and this year is no exception either. Paired with this season’s hottest outerwear piece – the puffer jacket, we love this look for hanging out on a Sunday or worst case shoveling our driveways.
Wintering In Style
When we don’t have to worry about tall snowbanks Chelsea boots are our go-to for winter! They’re a must-have in any fashionistas closet as they go great with everything from trousers to dress and if worn right even sweatpants! Paired with a sweet sheepskin moto and baker boy cap, you’ll make even the biggest beach bums envy your winter style!
