Our hunch is that the way you prepare for winter will determine how much fun you have. Start with the best women’s winter boots. If your wardrobe is prepared to handle the weather, no matter how cold it gets or how wild a storm becomes, you will be able to navigate through your day with ease, whatever the conditions. While a chunky hat or a fuzzy scarf might be great additions to your cold-weather outfit, you can’t deny the importance of stylish, but sturdy boots.
Winter boots are a great investment for women. They combine quality materials with reliable craftsmanship and styles that are both timeless and contemporary. Bottega Veneta’s Chelsea boot is a great example. It has all the classic features of this shape but also comes in a rich chocolate brown with bold lugs on the soles. Burberry’s playful version of the snow boot features its signature check pattern all over. Toteme’s classic waterproof boot is made of smooth Italian rubber and will give you a subdued, elegant look. The 50 best winter boot styles to buy ahead include all of this and more.
Shearling
This winter, add texture to your wardrobe with soft shearling linings or trims. Shearling bags and jackets are also a great choice. Toteme Off-Duty Leather Boots are a great option if you prefer a minimalist look. They have a simple design with fold-over cuffs. Tory Burch shearling boots and Jimmy Choo lined moto styles are both great options for a more robust silhouette.
Lugs Soles
Lug soles can be a lifesaver when sidewalks are unstable and lug soles are essential. The lug-soled boot collection for the fall/winter season is not only functional but also refined. Highlights include Gucci’s ankle boots in moccasin style, adorned with horse-bit hardware, and finished with durable lugs.
Snow
Snow boots are the best winter footwear to wear when the forecast calls for multiple inches of snow. Even though these are the bulkiest styles for the winter, there are still plenty of stylish options. For example, Loro Piano’s puffy ankle boots in snowflake-white nylon or Prada’s gabardine and nylon lace-up boot that look particularly chic for après ski.
Waterproof
Look for styles that will go with your entire wardrobe. Bottega Veneta rubber boots have a modern look and are made from natural molecules, not synthetic. You can’t go far wrong with classics such as Ugg or Hunter, or La Canadienne for their extensive waterproof boot collection.
