For a classic look, we love the idea of dressing up a pair of tall rubber boots for everyday. These weather-proof shoes are optimal for keeping you warm and dry all day long.

7) Fur Lined Boots
We are obsessed with any outfit that induces a stop and look twice effect. This outfit relies on textural elements for added surface interest. Everything from the striped cardigan, to the corduroy pants, down to the fur-lined boots work together to make this unique outfit come alive. Plus, the low-waist silhouette and sporty sunglasses give off a 90’s aesthetic that we cannot get enough of.

8) Lug Sole Boots
For a serious winter outfit that doesn’t play around, you are going to want to copy and paste Victoria’s killer look. She sports an oversized blazer but opts to cinch the waist with a belt bag. From there, she layers on a pair of sheer tights and a some tall lug sole chelsea boots that add to the commanding nature of the outfit. All black has never looked this enticing.

Nothing says cozy winter more than Bella Hadid’s outfit. To get into the festive spirit, she is wearing a matching fairisle knit set, but the boots definitely take comfort to a whole new level. Her padded puffer boots are everything you could want in a sturdy cold weather shoe – warm, stylish and durable. Don’t blame us if you start wearing your own everywhere you go.
